Description
Ciao & Hello from beautiful Tuscany,
we are Laura (34) and Christian (42) and together with our 2 sausage dogs Polly & Smilla and 5 chicken we live in a beautiful old country house, quite remote on a hill surrounded by Olive trees and nature. Our house is located a 10 min. drive from the ancient tuscan city of Pistoia / 40 Min. drive or train ride from Florence.
We have a little garden and grow a few vegetables and herbs, we regularly need dog sitters and help with easy tasks around the house or the garden.
We are both German and moved to Italy 2 years ago. We speak English, Italian, Spanish, German...and a bit of French. Meeting new people from all over the world is something we really enjoy, Laura has been a workawayer in Denmark and we would love to share our beautiful home with you and be your hosts.
If you are looking for a very relaxing stay in the heart of Tuscany, with lots of free time to explore the area please reach out to us!
