Descripción
We live in an ancient stone house , lovingly restored through the years.
In our little farm we already host three nice cats and a few chickens. The farm has a vegetable garden, a rich fruit orchard, a small vineyard, an olive orchard and a young walnut plantation. Everything is organically cultivated.
The property comprises an oak wood inhabitated by some wildlife and the whole land is part of a vast uncontaminated and protected area, which offers interesting walks and trekking.
Within a ten minutes drive you can reach a thermal swimming-pool and a horse riding facility, both need an entry ticket.
With a short drive you can find a number of archaeological and art sites, plus locations where it's possible to taste the exquisite products of this fertile land: wines, typical cheeses,the famous truffle, and a variety of preserved meats...

Ayuda
Our main focus and need is a dayly consistent conversation, mainly with Giada and in english.
Gardening, vegetable gardening and vineyard always need some tending, therefore there might be some help expected in the field.
You are not expected to use any tool that you don't feel comfortable with, and as far as hand tools go(shears,hoes,etc ...). We are ready to eventually show you how to use them.
At times our dirt road needs some maintenance.
All activities are human-sized: you won't be overworked at any time!
