Into the wild in Tresana, Tuscany, Italy

  Description

  We are a VEGETARIAN family of 4 (2 parents and 2 children born in 2014) who decided to move from Northern Italy (area north of Milan) and start a new life in the countryside as my wife and I have always dreamed of.
  Now we live in Tuscany, in a hilly area covered in woods and full of greenery. We have our own land and woods where we do various activities. When we can we move around here and we also go to the beach which is 30 minutes from home.
  Our interests are: nature, sea, free flight, computers, cooking, speleology, fantasy and knowing different points of view.
  In this new reality we are very happy but we could use a little help from someone who, like us, loves the context in which we find ourselves.
  
  There were some of you with whom we were able to create a really great experience and we can't wait to see them again.
  
  Guests will be treated like FAMILY and we expect them to do the same with us. So we expect a collaboration for the house. Simple things like setting the table or clearing the table and taking care of your spaces.
  
  IMPORTANT NOTES:
  1 - We live in a "farm" context and we need people who KNOW how to do some operations outside. That they have the ability (you don't need strength but knowledge) to move objects, dig the earth, plant seedlings, pick fruit, deal with sheep and chickens.
  2 - If you are not able to do the above you should be able to deal with the children, help them with their homework, accompany them on some walks, play with them and have LOTS of patience :-D
  3 - Here there are insects, small animals, neighbors and children. None are poisonous and deadly. If you fear them, perhaps our house would only be a source of stress for you.
  4 - The possible distractions nearby are "trekking", swimming pool (less than km), relaxation in nature, rest, reading, access to indoor..
  5 - In a very simple way you can visit by train the sea, go to the Cinque Terre or the cities nearby such as Florence, Pisa, La Spezia etc.
  6 - We don't want smokers
  7 - We require punctuality, as far as possible.
  8 - We are vegetarians and only eat eggs from our hens.
  
  9 - IMPORTANT: For various reasons and travel problems, we do NOT come to pick anyone up after 4.30pm max 5.00pm at the station in Aulla. We leave from home ONLY after receiving your call from whatsapp from the station.

  Aide

  Our primary need is to follow our children in the morning when we are busy outside on our land and with our animals. If the guest has the pleasure of learning some jobs or wants to help us, we will be available to do so. For example there is a tree house to complete.
  =======
  La nostra necessità primaria é di seguire i nostri figli la mattina quando noi siamo impegnati fuori nei nostri terreni e con i nostri animali. Se l'ospite ha piaciere di imparare alcuni lavori o vuole aiutarci saremo disponibili a farlo. Ad esempio c'è da completare una capanna sull'albero.

  Hébergement

  Private room, garden, panoramic terrace, woods, sun and nature.
  In the summer we will probably use a small swimming pool, if you want a bigger one it is 10 minutes from our house and belongs to an agriturismo.
  
  NB: Here we are in the open countryside, there are small animals of various types, insects, spiders and our pets such as rabbits, sheep, hens, ants, mice, etc. If animals scare you, this is not the right place for you, it would be a nightmare.
  
  The house is located in a small typically Tuscan village on a hill at an altitude of about 400m. It is possible to reach the town of Aulla (MS) with a bus which stops about 10 minutes away on foot.
  The bus is available in the autumn and winter periods.
  
  The bus is available in the autumn and winter periods, if it should not be possible to use it, we as a family can accompany you down to Aulla (depends on the situation)
  
  Punctuality is required.
  
  
  From Aulla you can access the train, other buses and move around comfortably.
  =========
  Stanza privata, giardino, terrazza panoramica, boschi, sole e natura.
  In estate probabilmente utilizzeremo una piccola piscina, se ne vuoi una più grande si trova a 10 minuti da casa nostra e appartiene ad un agriturismo.
  
  NB: Qui siamo in aperta campagna, ci sono piccoli animali di vario tipo, insetti, ragni e i nostri animali domestici come Coniglio,Pecore, Galline, Formiche, Topolini ecc. Se ti spaventano gli animali questo per te non è il posto giusto. Sarebbe un'incubo per te.
  
  La casa si trova in un piccolo borgo tipicamente toscano in collina a circa 400mt di altezza. E' possibile raggiungere il paese di Aulla (MS) con un autobus che ha una fermata a circa 10 minuti di cammino.
  Da Aulla è possibile accedere al treno, ad altri autobus e spostarsi comodamente.
  
  Il bus è disponibile nei periodi autunnali e invernali, se non dovesse essere possibile usarlo, noi come famiglia possiamo accompagnarvi giù ad Aulla (dipende dalla situazione)
  
  Si richiede puntualità negli orari.
