Experience Tuscan village life with our family in Querceta, Italy

Details

• 

  Description

  We are a husband and wife residing in Querceta, a charming village nestled between the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian Sea, just minutes from the beautiful beaches of Forte dei Marmi, in the heart of Versilia. We have a very friendly female dog and a cat.
  
  We're looking for a friendly and reliable person to help us with garden care and light home maintenance.
  
  In exchange, we offer comfortable accommodation and the chance to experience the authentic lifestyle of this stunning region—a mix of mountains, sea, and traditional Tuscan charm.
  
  We don't speak English very well, so we'd especially appreciate someone who is learning Italian or eager to practice the language during their stay.
  
  If you enjoy hands-on work, being outdoors, and immersing yourself in local culture, we’d love to welcome you into our home!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our English isn’t very strong, especially my husband’s, so we would really appreciate someone who speaks or is learning Italian. This is a great opportunity to practice the language in a relaxed, everyday setting.
  
  Our children, aged 28 and 23, are often around. He’s a surfer, and she loves horses. Spending time with them when they’re here can also be a fun way to get to know the area better and enjoy a bit of social life.
