Description
Hi everyone!
We are a family living in the middle of the Tuscany countryside, about 25 km from Florence.
We love nature, animals and spending time in company! We are very easy going and getting to know other cultures is one of our passions.
We are located in Carmignano, a little village of 1200 people and we live in an historical villa from 1600!
You'll get to be surrounded by nature and have a breathtaking view of the typical tuscan landscape, as you can see from the pictures.
As it is quite old, we would love to have some help in the maintenance of the house, so for example keeping it tidy or watering the plants outside...
From about October we are picking the olives to produce our own olive oil (for personal use) and we would love to have some extra hands! :) it's going to last about a month!!
The task it's going to be quite tiring, we would love to host energetic and hard working people :)

Florence is very accessible, since there are trains and busses to get there!
Many other tuscan cities and villages are not far from here! Lucca, Vinci and Pisa are an example.
Having a car is always a plus here, but don't worry public transportation is on until about 7/8 PM

Aide
As the house is quite ancient and big, it is not easy for us to keep it clan and tidy all the time.
As a matter of fact, we are looking for someone who can help us with this and give a hand also with some gardening outside (such as watering plants). It would be wonderful if this person could also help in cooking!!
From the month of October we need help with the olives picking (which is going to last approximately 1 month and a half, depending on the amount of work!)
We will also need help picking some wood. :)

The work was hard, honest and fun all at the same time, but more importantly rewarding at the end of each day, as we gathered and collected all the olives into storage crates.
