Description
We are Anna (9 years old) and Andrea (58 years old). We are really friendly and we live in a special area of south Tuscany. We live in a tipical old house in the medieval center of a little village, called Piancastagnaio (800 metres of altitude), in the province of Siena. It is one of the nice villages all around the cone of Mount Amiata (the largest beech forest in Europe). We are between the lovely area called Maremma (where you can visit Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana with their important archaeological sites, especially Etruscans) and the famous Val d'Orcia (Pienza, Montalcino, San Quisico d'Orcia, Montepulciano, Bagno Vignoni). Not far from our home there is the famous hot sping called "La balena bianca" or "Bagni di San Filippo"...
We love art and music (we like play piano and sing).
We have also a little art studio in Sovana. -

Help
We no need just a babysitter but it is better to say "a friend" for a few hours a day and if I have to say the truth sometime is Anna who takes care of the workawayer :-)
If you can talk chinese, english or other languages we are happy. We would like share different types of meals too, we cook using local products (our extra vergine olive oil is really special) and in a healty way.
Please, don't use your mobile phone all the day... -
