  Descripción

  Stay in a peaceful Tuscan farmhouse with a neurodivergent host, three cats, and lots of creativity.
  Help with gardening, light DIY, artistic projects and share a slower, more intentional way of living.
  
  🌿 Welcome to my Tuscan farmhouse!
  
  Hi! I'm Violeta – I’m 44, Italo-Argentinian, and both Italian and Spanish are my native languages.
  I also speak English and French well enough to communicate, and I always welcome the help of a translator if needed!
  
  I’m neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, highly sensitive, APC), which means I experience the world a bit differently.
  Sometimes I need space and solitude, other times I dive into long creative or work sessions with great focus.
  
  I live in the countryside with my three beloved cats, surrounded by nature and silence — and I’m looking for a kind, open-minded person to share a little time, space, and some practical help!
  
  🏡 About the place
  
  In 2021, I bought this old farmhouse on the hills of Tuscany, not far from Livorno.
  The moment I walked into the garden, I fell in love with its peaceful energy.
  
  The garden is very large, there are fruit trees and my dream of building a fairy garden by constructing various different corners around the farmhouse.
  There's a lot of potential here, and some parts are still a work in progress — inside and out.
  
  👩‍⚕️ About me and my work
  I’m a midwife specialized in women’s health, pelvic education and sexuality.
  One room in the house is used to film educational videos for my social media and online courses,
  so you might see lights, tripods and anatomy books around!
  I work from home a lot, and sometimes I need help because I’m still catching up with renovation and gardening tasks.
  
  💪 What I need help with
  Depending on your interests and skills, It is very likely that we will do many of the creative activities together, you can help with:
  
  🌱 Garden help
  Garden installations or small artistic projects
  Grass cutting
  Gardening
  General outside help
  Watering plants
  Pruning fruit trees (in season)
  Tidy up some areas of the garden
  
  🔧 Light house tasks
  Make lamps or other things for the house
  Painting walls and wardrobe
  Help me tidy up the house and clean up
  Tidying storage rooms
  Upcycling, crafts, painting, mosaic — let’s create together!
  
  📍 How to get here
  The house is located 2 km from a bus stop with connections to Livorno (14 km away, or a half-hour drive).
  To get to the bus stop, there's a 30-minute uphill walk with an elevation gain of about 90 meters.
  There will be bicycles at the house, allowing you to reach Collesalvetti in a half-hour ride.
  I can't always provide a ride to the city center or to the bus stop. I drive to Livorno 2-4 times a week.
  
  🤝 What I’m looking for
  Someone kind, curious, open to sharing space and conversation — but also okay with quiet time and self-direction.
  You don’t need to be an expert: a willingness to learn and contribute is what matters most.
  Whether you're into DIY, nature, holistic health, neurodivergence, or just looking for a peaceful experience in Tuscany — I’d love to welcome you! 🌻
  I prefer to host only women
  
  I would love to improve my English and French, learn about other craft techniques, experience other cultures, and have company.
  I can teach you about herbal medicine and phytotherapy, food preservation, traditional Italian recipes, and many crafting techniques (sewing, knitting, crochet, ceramics, mosaics, and more).

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  🌍 Cultural exchange at my place
  Staying with me is a chance to experience life in the Tuscan countryside through the lens of a neurodivergent, creative, and holistic lifestyle.
  You’ll learn about Italy from a bilingual Italo-Argentinian perspective — I can share both
  Italian and Latin American culture, and we can speak in Italian, Spanish, English or French (or mix them all if you'd like!).
  
  As a midwife and educator in women’s health and sexuality, I’m happy to share knowledge around body literacy, hormonal health, menstrual cycles, and how to live more in tune with your body and nature.
  You’ll also see how I create educational content and work as a solo entrepreneur.
  If you’re interested, I can also share practical skills like:Cooking with fresh vegetables, legumes and seasonal foodsHerbal medicine, natural remedies and making o

  Alojamiento

  🛏️ What I offer
  You’ll have your own room with a private bathroom (one-and-a-half bed, desk, wardrobe).
  Between the room and the bathroom, there’s also a single bed and a linen storage area.
  Violeta has her own private bathroom.
  
  🥗 I’ll cook for you when I’m home — otherwise, feel free to use the kitchen, but we'll probably cook together.
  
  🧼 A lovely person helps with house cleaning once a week. I still ask you to help me keep your spaces clean
  
  📶 There’s Wi-Fi, but mobile signal is limited and only works in some areas.
  
  ⚠️ Things to know:
  The upper floor still runs on extension cords (electric work pending).
  Hot water comes from a 15L boiler — you might need to wait if someone else has just used it.

  The internet connection works via satellite. It’s usually stable, but occasionally it may drop for a few seconds or minutes — so it’s good to be aware if you work remotely or rely heavily on online access.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  There is space to park a campervan, but I don’t have the facilities for water, electricity hook-up, or waste disposal — so it's better suited for short stays or self-sufficient setups.

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  I have three cats who are very much part of the household. They're independent and used to having their space — I’m not sure how they would react to other animals in the house. Also, the property is not fully fenced: there are open areas, so if you're traveling with animals, keep in mind that they might wander off or encounter wildlife.
