“HELP OUT WITH GENERAL SPRING CLEANING AND LIGHT GARDENING AT OUR HISTORIC VILLA NEAR VERONA & LAKE GARDA”. Ps not dog sitting
Ciao!
My name is Sally. I’m an Irish/English mum to a wonderful autistic in son (Umberto), and we live together with our two friendly dogs in a beautiful 16th-century villa nestled in the countryside of northern Italy, not far from Lake Garda.
Our home is full of character, peace, and history – the kind of place that has a calming effect on all who visit. We love welcoming open-minded, independent, and kind-hearted people who bring good energy and are happy to lend a hand.
About Our Home:
Our villa is peaceful, with a warm and welcoming vibe. We don’t smoke, and we kindly ask that you don’t either while on the premises. We provide meals and enjoy sharing stories and good company – though there’s always plenty of quiet space if you prefer your own time.
Location Perks:
We’re in a rural yet well-connected area, with a bus stop just minutes away on the route to Verona.
The nearest village, Rivoli Veronese, is a scenic 20-minute walk away. It’s famous for the 1797 Napoleonic battle, and now home to a small museum, ancient fort, charming cafés, restaurants, a pizzeria, grocer, bakery, pharmacy, post office, and ATM.
Come experience life in a historic Italian home, enjoy the beauty of the Veneto countryside, and help us bring some love and care to this very special place.
We look forward to hearing from you!

During your stay, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in Italian culture
We also want to help you make the most of your time in this beautiful and historic region. We’ll offer local recommendations and help with transport when possible, so you can enjoy the best of what northern Italy has to offer.
We’re perfectly located just minutes from the A22 motorway, making it easy to reach many of northern Italy’s most iconic destinations:
* Lake Garda – 9 km (12 min drive)
* Lazise Castle – 14 km (15 min drive)
* Verona – 30 km (30 min drive)
* Venice – 147 km (1 hr 20 min drive)
* The Dolomites – 174 km (approx. 2 hr drive)
You’ll also have plenty of free time to explore Lake Garda — its beaches, charming villages, hidden beauty spots, and seasonal water sports — or simply enjoy a peaceful swim and soak up the sunshine.
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience Italy like a local while contributing your energy to caring for two adorable dogs in a unique and welcoming home.

We live with two dogs. Our big girl, Maia is a Newfoundland. (She luckily knows she’s a dog). On the other hand, Maia’s chum, Benito is an English Bulldog and he’s convinced he’s Human. Both are very enthusiastic about people, gentle, funny and they love attention. They both seek human company but are not especially high maintenance only requiring a couple of (slow ) walks a day .
