  Description

  Hi, my name is Daniela,
  I am Italian/American; I was a dancer and now I am a teacher and choreographer.
  I have a big house with lots of land on the Umbrian hills, 2.5km from Spoleto (PG), Italy.
  Spoleto is a lovely, picturesque, medieval town in the centre of Italy with lots of sightseeing and gastronomic delicacies to enjoy. It also hosts a famous festival (Festival of Two Worlds, coupled with the town of Charleston, USA), which is held in late June-early July and dates back to the '50s.
  I also have two beautiful white mixed-race dogs.
  Sometimes I need help tending my garden (if you're a green thumb, all the better) and occasionally looking after the dogs (when I'm away).
  I don't have a swimming pool, but there are a lot of them in the surrounding areas, including a superb Olympic-style public pool.
  The work would not be hard; there would be a lot of time to enjoy yourself.
  For more information, please write to me.
  Waiting or you in Spoleto,
  Daniela.

  There is plenty of space to work in, although the internet connection is not the strongest (i.e. forget about fibre speeds or large downloads). We're looking at 20-30Mbps in download on a good day.

  Space for parking camper vans

  There definitely is plenty of parking space, although I am not equipped at all with electrical, recharging facilities etc. There's really just parking space. Plus, you should know the road is a bit rutty.

  Can possibly accept pets

  I have two big, white dogs, so whatever pet you guys bring has to be accepted by the dogs; they're usually friendly, but you never know with animals.
