Description
For 2025 summer we would like to host one woman to help us manage the house. We have some maintenance work to do such as repainting the shutters, fix the outside wall, gardening, ecc.
We will also ask you to help us with house cleaning.
We are a family with two teenagers and we love country life so we choose to move from town to a hill in the heart of Monferrato.
Here we can experience a simplest way of life with our 2 kids and we can practice downshifting, enjoy the nature around us, open our house to friends, learning day by day how we can change our fixed paradigmes.
Monferrato is a wonderful place where wines culture and wild hill cohabit, Turin and other cities (Asti, Alessandria, Vercelli, Milan) are 1h by car from us. Our house is in a panoramic position, surrounded by woods and we have a garden and some fruits plants. We love to open our house to other persons, different cultures and way of life.
We have a guest room where you can sleep, I have a home office so I will be at home almost every day.
You can have free time for half a day and 2 days/week you are free to go around or relax yourself, there is any public transportation but we often go to the nearest village to pick up our kids or go to grocery shop and we can drive you to the train station. We care about our workawayers as part of the family and invite them to know our friends, going on trip with us (we usually go in Turin or Milan to visit our families and sometimes in Genoa) or enjoy family time like watching a movie or eat a pizza.
Some of us are vegetarian. We don't smoke.
N.B. We prefer to host women
