Probably an holiday opportunity if you would like to spend some time in Tuscany (Pisa - Lucca area) for a cultural tourism connected with art and nature, art heritage cities and areas with a particularly high concentration of historical assets and local traditions.
We are inside the nature park of the Monti Pisani and the Migliarino San Rossore National Park near the beach of Marina di Vecchiano, requested for several kinds of tourism, such as rural tourism, nature tourism, wild beach tourism, spa and health tourism, art and ethical tourism, trekking and cycling tourism.
Ayuda
The help is a very small building and gardening bricolage activities. The housesitter will check the eating and electricity system, verify the doors and gate close before sleeping, clean the garden around the villa, etc.
Following could be a weekly timetable example.
From Tuesday to Friday:
In the morning around 2 hour (7:00-9:00am) gardening around the villa, in late evening (8:00-9:00pm) to watering the flowers around the villa and before sleeping to check gate and door close.
Sunday and Saturday:
We have events (wedding, gala dinner, etc) usualy, external workers manage them. Because events you will not check gate and door close but music and noise will continue untill 3:00-4:00am and you will need ear plugs!
The park tasks are managed by external professional gardeners. You will not be involved in any job or heavy garden tasks.
Main help is to sleep inside the real estate for security. Your bedroom is close to the villa entrance. From 7:00 am external housekeepers, workers and gardenrs are inside the villa and park untill 8:00 pm and you are totaly free.
