Help with maintenance - come and join us in a beautiful hillside development in Tuscany, Italy

  Descripción

  We are a small group of houses on a hillside in Tuscany. It is a unique place, originally restored by an artist (sculptor) and her work is all through the grounds and inside the houses and apartments. There are 16 bedrooms in total, located in various houses or apartments, all of them self-catering. From April to October, we have guests who typically stay for a period of between 3 nights and 2 weeks.
  
  We need help during the season with maintenance, carrying luggage, taking care of the pool, and keeping the many paths and terraces clean and tidy. The work could be quite physical sometimes, some of our guests have very heavy luggage and there are many steps at the place as it is built on a hill, so there is a lot of carrying things up steps.
  
  Three of us work here year-round, and we have cleaners as needed and a local person helping with gardening once a week... It is truly beautiful here, the views are stunning, the surrounding area is full of culture. A great place to spend a summer!

  We have a gardener who comes once a week, a very nice Italian guy who is always happy to talk to you in Italian. Five minutes from here by car is a pizzeria/restaurant/bar and a local shop for groceries etc. The people down there are extremely friendly, and our summer helpers always go there. As our summer helper has the use of a car, he/she can do a lot of sightseeing on their time off. During the summer, we have many interesting people staying from all over the world.
  
  We pay monthly and offer accommodation (internet and services included), use of a car, and use of the kitchen. Meals will be discussed. We offer flexible days off per week.

  Ayuda

  We are looking for someone from May until the end of October.
  
  The help mainly consists of cleaning the swimming pool and keeping the paths and common areas clean and tidy on a daily basis; taking the rubbish out daily, etc.
  
  During the peak period, when we have lots of changeovers on the same day, we might ask you to help the cleaners to clean the properties. Sometimes, when we host groups, we might need help with washing pots and pans, loading and unloading the dishwasher machine and drying up, etc (we have a small kitchen and prepare meals for our guests)
  
  Helping the guests with their luggage when they arrive and showing them to their room, helping guests with their luggage when they leave. You will drive an Ape 50cc -I'll teach you if you don't know-.
  
  Gardening: watering the many pots and plants; helping the gardener to carry machinery from and to the parking lot; raking after the gardener cuts the grass and helping to move plant debris to the parking lot.
  
  We rarely need help to perform simple maintenance jobs in the accommodation (for instance: blocked drain, burned-out bulb, changing a gas bottle, etc). So, it is important but not mandatory to have a basic knowledge of 'make do and mend'. We have professional outside help for major repairs and disasters!
  
  We are looking for someone with a sense of humour, who enjoys meeting people, who speaks at least a bit of English and who has a clean driving license. Healthy and fit people find the job less exhausting, as per the many steps we have around the hamlet and the type of help we require (carrying luggage, taking equipment up the many steps to the swimming pool, which is at the top of the hamlet, moving big bins, etc). Please take this into account when applying for the job, which is perhaps more suitable for a guy
