    Description

    hello,
    my name in Marta and as a family we have a house in Tuscany in Isola d'Elba. It's a magical place not far from the town Porto Azzurro and yet completely located in a natural park with walking distance from the sea.
    We love this place and we put a lot of effort in maintaining its beauty.
    Lately though we need some help to collect olives from our bio olive grove and we wish to find someone that will enjoy this work and spend some time with us.
    We are hoping to find two people that will stay with us sharing a double room with private bathroom located near the main house and be willing to work half day with us and half day enjoy the place.
    The work part of the days will be organized and shared with my dad Pietro who lives there most of the year with my mother Maria Luisa and their two dogs.

    we believe taking care of nature requires effort but it's a good way to feel closer to it and we hope to share this view with someone else for a few days.
    It doesn't matter where you come from, we hope you'll also have a good time relaxing and exploring.

    Accommodation

    We offer a double room with private bathroom a few steps from the main house. We would like to host 2 people but if you are 3 we can find a solution with a pull out bed.
    You are free to share all the meals with us and on occasion if you want you could share some of you recipes with us.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    It's better if you reach the place on your own transportation because the house is 10 min car ride from the firs town, and if you what to explore the island on your free time I'd say a car is quite necessary.
    Otherwise if you like to stay on site the all time and just enjoy the beach, relax, have nice walk in nature we can arrange to pick you up at arrival e departure.
    You should know we have two dog, they very friendly, but we can't host any other animals.
