  Description

  Buongiorno dear all,
  im living with my 7 year old kid near Vinci, Tuscany ( 40 min from Florence, Pisa, 1 hour from Lucca or the Versiliana coast.. ) in a lovely family country house surrounded by olive trees and vineyards.. Im looking to host a traveller or couple who would be happy to share some beauty and art ( i'm a singer and performer) and help me do the olive picking in the end of october beginning of November.. ( about 100 trees ) it's aprivate home and not a business, nothing is sold to the public..I'm just looking for some help with the country chores in exchange of hospitality and food..
  Im very flexible for a chat and understanding your needs, I can offer a mezzanine and private bathroom.. we can speak about all the detail if you contact me!
  grazie mille xx Olivia

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  im an italo-australian experimental soprano , lived surrounded by art and culture.. my father was an international acclaimed visual artist and my place here is rich of artwork and history. Im involved with a local community met through my child of people close to the Waldorf education active in matters of ecology sustainability, all related to an holistic attitude towards life.. its an open community interested in sharing experiences both intellectually than practically ( walks, painting, eurythmics, food ecc ) I can happily help with Italian conversation or readings.. I have a piano in the house so theres also the possibility to create music. im sure if you like the envoirment we will work it out together in a very spontaneous way how our exchange can work.
