  Description

  We are a little italian family, living and working in Tuscany in a tiny Borgo called Quarazzana: me, Ilaria, my husband Stefano, all helped and worked together to create this beautiful special place high up in the mountains.
  We are an ambitious, active and hard working family, who likes to meet friends, go for a walk, take pictures, paint and read, but also enjoy to have some privacy moments on the sofa drinking tea.
  Our farmhouse is more than 500 years old, our garden is big and all our food is freshly prepared due to our biological vegetable garden. We like to cook with regional and local products.
  We run an authentic small bed and breakfast that is now converting in a Borgo for retreats in an Hamlet in the northern part of Tuscany overlooking the Apuan Alps. Stunning views! A tranquil and calm place with wild cows and donkeys crossing the roads. Slow and easy italian living.
  Between june to october we welcome our fantastic guests from all over the world, providing organic breakfast, typical tuscan dinners, beautiful individually designed rooms, hiking tours, cooking classes and first of all: all the relaxation and rest that is needed.
  We offer offer accommodation plus at least minimum wage in your country for every hour worked.
  Ask more about it if you like to have details.

  What else ...

  We live in a very little village (now just ten inhabitants) in the countryside, high up in the mountains , no bus or trains are available from here (Quarazzana). The next village is 8km, approximately 15 minutes by car, but more than one hour to walk, away (Fivizzano), there you can find a supermarket, a post office and some cafes and restaurants.
  So it would be better if you have a car. If you are happy with walking or taking the bike, great, too!
  Sometimes we could take you or pick you up from the nearest trainstation in Aulla.
