Description
I'm a lady, living by the Lake of Garda, on the west side coast, province of Brescia.
I used to work in the Luxury Hospitality field for almost 30 years and now I completely changed my job.
After many years away from the Lake, I came back a few years ago and started to renovate my Grands'Home.
Toscolano Maderno, the town where I live, is one of the most beautiful place to stay: it has many sport activities to do such as paragliding, mountain bike, trekking, mountain excursions, surfing, kayak, a beautyful and long beach, good restaurants and pizzeria, just to mention a few.
I decided to renovate a small apartment under my house 'cause I would like to do a Guest House "on my way": that means I'd like to offer not just a place to stay but an experience in our beautiful town, land and culture, matching my know-how with a charming "you're at home, away from home".
I have two cats, Ragdolls, my sweeties: they have been together for 11 years :) and are wife and husband!!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can share some of my knowledge on Food & Beverage world, meaning that I can teach you how to prepare some cocktail and some basics about drinks'merceology, how to prepare and cook some local specialties, going together for sightseeing…
Our land produces wine and extra virgin olive oil, cheese, amazing "spiedo con polenta" (different meat on the grill, but made in a special way), and many other things you will discover.
I expect to host people that are willing to do their best in the time will be here: honesty, respect, sensibility are very important for me. Hope the same for you.
Help
I'm looking for a workawayer that can help me with DIY different things around the house, help me to do some home gardening, painting and what it will need to let the "little nest" become a lovely and cozy place.
It's not a big deal, but I need somebody that is willing and love to help others as best as he/she can.

Accommodation
You will have a double room in my house or a small apartment (it depends on availability I have in that period) that is under renovation at your disposal: bedroom, sitting room and bathroom are finished but the kitchen need to be fixed (you can use it but I would like to make some changes).
As I work during the day, I will prepare food for you and you'll need maybe just to warm it up for the lunch.
In the evening we will have dinner together so that we can share our experiences, have a nice talk, go for a walk or planning what to do together, if you would like to spend some time together, to better know the Lake of Garda.
What else ...
Please, I don't smoke and I would be pleased if you do not smoke inside the house.
Also, sorry if I'm so frank, but any kind of drugs, even if they are allowed in your country, are not permitted.
Responsible drinking is welcome, but not drunk: we live in a peaceful neighborhood.
