Description
Hello everyone,
we are a German-Italian couple (59&59) looking for two reliable people who are willing to take care of our 5000 sqm garden located on the coast of Monte Argentario, a beautiful half-island in southern Tuscany.
The work is mainly maintenance, such as weeding, pruning and watering, composting and fertilising, checking the fruit trees and the small vineyard we planted two years ago. In the autumn we need help to collect the olives from about 50 olive trees.
We have all sorts of garden tools, experience in their maintenance and usage is an advantage.
Any initiative regarding new plants is very welcome, as well as small repairs around the house (which has recently been renovated, but there is always room for improvement ;-)

We are a bilingual family but we speak mostly italian, a language we are very keen to share.
Hébergement
We offer a nice indipendent house with living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and a large patio overlooking the woods and the sea. The house has been recently refurbish and it has a good internet connection. The sea is very close, approx. 1km but the path is steep and the closest town Porto Santo Stefano is approximately at 5 km, therefore it is essential to have your own car.
Autres infos...
During your time off you will certainly enjoy a very peaceful place surrounded only by the sea and nature. There are many walks you can take to explore the half island, either through the woods or along the coastline.
There is a wide choice of beaches for swimming, the nearest being just 1 km from the house. The most impressive sandy beach is at Feniglia, a protected strip of pine forest 6 km long, with the sea on one side and the lagoon on the other. The island of Giglio, a popular destination for scuba diving enthusiasts, can be reached with a daily ferry service.
You can visit the small town of Porto Santo Stefano (5km) and the picturesque harbour of Porto Ercole (10km). The nearest train station is Orbetello Scalo (8km), from where you can reach Rome in 1 hour and a half.

The internet connection is very good, we use it for work too. In the house there is a living room with a table which you can use as a desk, but even better you can use the large table outside on the patio, the internet works fine there too.
