Description
Hello! Please come and help me keep our beautiful garden beautiful!
I am Giovanna. My husband and I built this house from scratch more than 30 years ago near Campagnano di Roma, not far from Rome.
I am passionate about the garden! I do have some help but I also do a great deal of work in it myself and at times I feel a bit overwhelmed. Hence this appeal! I also have three dogs...
I have studio apartment with its own kitchenette, bathroom and separate entrance, that would be available for workawayers .
I can offer accommodation and meals in exchange for the standard 25 hours help a week for max two weeks, but for longer periods and if you want more time off I could offer accommodation only (no meals) in exchange for 12 hours work a week.
I prefer couples, it is very quiet here and I need people who are very independent and can entertain themselves and It would be great if workawayers had their own car. If not, at least a driving licence.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Lots of history and art of course in Rome (which is a half-hour drive away) and Campagnano itself is set in the Veio Regional Park which dates back to the Etruscan and Roman ages. The village has recently become very popular among pilgrims walking the Via Francigena.
I am bi-lingual English/Italian so can help with both languages.
I come from an international background, have lived or spent a lot of time in different countries (UK, Canada, USA, Switzerland), am deeply interested in history, have made a documentary film on the help Italians gave escaped POWs during World War II (shown on national History Channel) and am always interested in meeting new people and hearing their stories.

In springtime, major pruning of the hedges, clearing the flower beds, grass strimming, again after the summer lots of hedge pruning, raking leaves, clearing ditches, wood stacking and generally getting the garden back into shape after the summer heat, while after Christmas all the roses need pruning and fruit trees in February etc., I would be working alongside you. I have a small vegetable garden and help is needed there as well (but then you can help yourselves to tomatoes, zucchine etc.). There are often some maintenance tasks, like painting the window grilles, to be done in wintertime. I like to build things and be creative in the garden so new ideas are always welcome! I use have of the house for summer lets or as a b&b so very occasionally I need help with that.

Hébergement
Workawayers would have a small studio flat, two beds with en-suite bathroom , kitchenette and its own separate entrance. We can share some meals or you can cook for yourselves separately. I am not a brilliant cook but can teach how to make a good plate of "pasta"!
Autres infos...
I work as a conference interpreter which is not a regular every day job and when at home I like to spend time working in the garden and with my three dogs but I also go into Rome quite often and would be able to give my guests a lift.
