Description
My husband and I live in a house on the shore of Vico lake, 1 hour north of Rome. We have a small dog, Luna, and a cat, Buddy. I work as a tour guide and my husband is retired. We need someone for some gardening and small wood tasks (repair a wooden door, building an outdoor cabinet, etc.) In summer you can enjoy swimming at the lake, all year hiking in this natural reserve - or visit the surroundings. We also have a mounting bike and a kayak. If you like sports and nature this is a great place!
WE DO NOT GIVE THE RESIDENCY IN OUR HOUSE FOR THOSE REQUESTING ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP.
