Description
For more than twenty years I have been managing my B&B located in Tuscany in complete autonomy, more precisely in a nineteenth-century villa in Quarrata. Since I live alone I need the company and help of some young volunteer who can help me with the classic housework of my house. I am a very sociable and outgoing woman, I can immediately get in tune with people, within the limits of education and mutual respect.

You will be able to learn the Italian language and many Mediterranean recipes as I am an excellent cook. Also, my home is located near world-class cultural cities such as; Florence, Pistoia, Prato, Pisa, Lucca and Siena.
Help
I need people who, if necessary, help me with housework, take care of the maintenance of the garden and so on. Nothing very demanding: think about the work you already do at your home. I'm talking about that.

Accommodation
You will sleep in a beautiful 19th century double room, finely furnished and with all the services included such as; television, en-suite bathroom with shower, kitchen, relaxation area and much more. The kitchen is at your disposal, you will only have to worry about food preparation when I am not the one to do it.
What else ...
In your free time you can obviously do what you like best. My house is very large and has large areas where you can be quiet and relaxing without anyone disturbing you. You will then be able to study, read, enjoy a good movie and listen to music. If you want to move to the adjacent cultural cities you can do it by bus, train or by car if you prefer (the bus stop is in front of the house, the train stop is ten minutes away). To get around the area I put bicycles at your disposal if you don't prefer to walk. A few steps from home you have all the most common services such as; bars, restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, banks, post offices and much more.
