Description
Our place is a big house with 20 ha of land in the hills behind the town of Cortona in southern Tuscany. We are a German/English couple and have owned the house for 40 years. we could do with the help of one or two practical guys with a bit of muscle and some experience. There is for example the vegetable garden to be dug over, to build a green house, to cut hedges and mow lawns. We can host people from March 21 onwards, min. stay one week, maybe longer.
John is very practical and has a lot of skills in building, carpentry, plumbing, gardening. He used to be a model maker and Sabine a language teacher. We both love to have people around and had many very good experiences with helpers from all over the world.
