    Description

    Hello! I am a potter & chef from Ireland and I live in an old house that needs a little maintenance in the Piacentino hills near the city of Piacenza in Northern Italy.
    The area is very beautiful with a lovely village nearby, a river, hills and many historical places to see.
    I am located on a bus route so exploring other cities including the biggies of Milan, Florence, Venice is very doable.
    In exchange for some help with simple tasks, light painting, cleaning etc. in tandem with me.
    I will feed you well and if cooking interests you, you may learn a thing or two! I make all my food from scratch including daily bread.
    There is a lovely bedroom (pictured), terrace and two bathrooms in the house.
