Description
My name is Gloria,
I live in a typical county house in Tuscany, 20 km far from Florence city centre. I'm currently living alone in my big house because my daughter, has moved with her boyfriend and therefore I'm looking for someone who could help me with gardening but also
in the field with olives plants, cutting grass, cutting woods.. At "Olmo", this is the name of the small suburb we I live, there are 3 houses and we are a little community (I have some very nice neighbors!). The house is surrounded by nature, olive trees, and vineyards. Cats are always present but we don't have dogs!
I provide an ensuite room, with a single bed, in the house's little "tower" of the house! Couple of workawayers are also welcomed, they will hava a different room with bouble bed .
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At my place travelers can learn how to care for an Italian garden, they can learn Italian and finally some typical Italian recepies!
Help
I need someone who can keep the house in order (for example cleaning the kitchen). There are also many works to do in the garden (such as cutting the grass; planting flowers, to water pots... ) and in the field, such as pruning olive trees, spading, cutting pieces of branches, stacking wood, using the brush cutter.
So I prefer that there is a man who can do jobs that require some physical strength and mechanical skill.
>Furthermore I need someone who is not afraid of insects and comfortable with countryside work. :)
Languages spoken
Italian: Fluent
English: Intermediate
Accommodation
I provide an ensuite room, with a single bed, in the house's little "tower" of the house! the room has three windows, a wardrobe and all the comfortable that a person may need.
If the workawayers are a couple ( male + female) a larger double room is offered with bath.. also very nice
What else ...
The house is located in the countryside, therefore I usually use my car to commute, yet there is a bus stop just 1 min far from the house. The buses stop every 2 hour during the week ( Monday to Saturday), but much less on Sunday. The buses are directed to Florence or to the main village of San Casciano!
