  Description

  I live with my husband and three children in a small village in the Tuscan countryside. Everything here is very green and beautiful, and there are many lovely walks to enjoy. Pisa, Livorno, the sea, Lucca, Volterra, San Gimignano, and many other beautiful places to visit are all within easy driving distance. We recently welcomed two extremely sweet and friendly little cats into our home, who live with us but also spend time outdoors.

  Abbiamo da poco accolto in casa due piccoli gattini estremamente buoni e simpatici che vivono in casa con noi ma passano anche del tempo all’ aperto

  Help

  When we're away, we're looking for someone to take care of our cats and the house. We ask that you keep the house clean and tidy while we're away and enjoy the relaxation this place can offer.
  
  When we're home, we ask for help with housework, garden maintenance, and conversation with our children.
  
  
  Quando non siamo a casa cerchiamo qualcuno che si occupi dei nostri gatti e della casa. Si chiede di tenere la casa pulita e in ordine durante la nostra assenza e di godere del relax che questo luogo può offrire.
  
  Quando siamo a casa chiediamo aiuto nelle pulizie di casa e nel mantenimento del giardino e in conversazione in lingua con i nostri bambini

  What else ...

  To be independent, you need a car. You can get around by public transport (in front of the house), but there's very little of it, so everything is more complicated.
  
  Per essere autonomi è necessaria un auto. È possibile muoversi con i mezzi pubblici (di fronte casa) ma ne passano pochi quindi tutto è più complicato
