    Description

    My name is Oriana, I own a 2-hectares property close to Lake Maggiore, where I also own 4 horses . The area is in the countryside, but close to villages and at 1 hour distance from Milan, Turin and Switzerland and just 10 minutes drive from the lake. Beside the main house there is an independent double room with a private bathroom, facing a covered veranda. It is on the ground floor and has TV, heating, air conditioning, shower and wi-fi.

    I offer meals and accommodation to any girl/woman who loves animals and the countryside life, offering them also the opportunity to get out and ride my horses. The kind of help I need would be maintanance and cleaning of equestrian equipment, and some gardening and housekeeping/tidying up.

    25 hours a week are enough and rest days will be given mainly during the week rather than weekends, but I offer and require at the same time some flexibility about this. There is a bike available to explore the area and I can also drive you to the train station if you want to visit farther places.

    Please be aware that no requests for Italian citizenship can be considered and I cannot provide vegan/strictly vegetarian meals.
