  THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ENQUIRIES - WE'RE FULL FOR THIS 2022 OLIVE SEASON, SEE YOU NEXT YEAR :)
  
  Hi! I am Patrizia and I live in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, just 10 minutes walk from the city centre of Cortona. I have two daughters, who are living in Rimini and in Bologna. Few years ago we had a wonderful experience with Marta, a workawayer from Iceland!
  
  Our house is plenty of animals: we have two dogs, two cat, some chickens and some small parrots. We have about 3 hectares of land with olive trees, a very very tiny lake and a stunning overview to the valley. We often enjoy amazing sunsets from our yard and we love having bbq parties with our friends.
  
  We are looking for a couple to stay with us for about 2 weeks from the end of October/begin of November 2022. We're looking for an animals lovers, fit enough for outdoor jobs and who enjoys being surrounded by nature. All meals will be provided; we like cooking and we would also love to taste your traditional food if you want to. In November we might have a warm and nice fall as well as some rainy days. Anyway the area is full of historical and artistic attractions as well as outdoor activities and you will not get bored here.
  
  We can accomodate two guests a time in a king size bed. During the high season we run a b&b business and you'll have there your accommodation. It's a lovely room with private bathroom in our property, separate from the main house.
