  Description

  I have 4 lovely villas in the middle of Maremmas nature in Tuscany. The houses are situated on a hill with a beautiful view on the surrounding mountains and forest greenery. I used to successfully run this property as a short term rental business, but this year I would like to take a break from hosting and thus I'm looking for a house sitter, ideally a couple that can also do some maintenance tasks.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Nestled in the heart of Maremma, Tuscany, my property boasts a prime hilltop location surrounded by enchanting forests, offering absolute tranquility and peace. It's a serene haven, yet conveniently close to vibrant tourist destinations: just an hour's drive from the historic city of Siena, 40 minutes from the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, and surrounded by a plethora of picturesque Tuscan Etruscan villages, making it a perfect blend of secluded charm and accessibility to rich cultural experiences.
  In the surrounding area, English is not necessarily always spoken if travellers want a fuller immersion into the Italian language.
