Description
Our estate is in the heart of Chianti surrounded by its vineyards and olive groves. We are looking for general help around the house and property. We love animals and have a household including four dogs, one cat, five horses and two alpacas who roam freely and happily around the property so it is important you love animals too! We grow most of our own vegetables and like to live in harmony with the Tuscan landscape around us.
We are looking for capable and energetic individuals with DIY skills, who like gardening, housekeeping help with cooking.

UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will learn about olive oil production during the harvest season. We are in a region famous for Tuscan wines and there are lots of wineries around the area so there are plenty of opportunities to learn about Italian wine. We grow all our own vegetables and the villa is close to Florence, Siena, Pisa etc so there are plenty of opportunities to explore this part of Italy, especially if you have an interest in Italian art and architecture.
