Description
We are a family of 4, plus a dog, a rabbit and three turtles, living in the country near the village of Borgo San Lorenzo, a 40 minutes train trip to Florence. We live in an old ex-farming house placed into the wood, about 6 km from the village. We have a garden around the house. Serena (born 1974) is an architect, Luigi (born 1968) is a teacher, while Jacopo (born in 2008) and Bianca (born in 2011) are students. We are all vegetarian. We are primarily looking for native English speakers.

Hébergement
The house is independent with a garden all around. If you are traveling by car there is also parking available right in front. The house is approximately 100 m2. We have a large living room with dining room and kitchen. Inside the house it is only possible to call via WhatsApp as there is not a good telephone signal. The Workawayer will be hosted in an annex near the house, where he will find a place to sleep, a small wardrobe and the bathroom, including internet connection. The annex must be left free during certain hours of the day for family needs. It is possible to take a shower in the main house.
