  Description

  We live in a converted convent immersed in the gorgeous Umbrian hills only 15 minutes from Perugia. We are a French family running a startup and caring for our 2 sons (6 and 1.5 yo). We love cooking fresh food every day (mostly vegetarian), taking walks in the hills, growing vegetables in our little garden. Our eldest son speaks French, English and Italian. Our second speaks his own language :-)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a very cosmopolitan family who love to learn about other cultures and try new things.
  A person who loves living in nature, appreciates good and diverse foods, and enjoys caring for kids will definitely enjoy our family.
  There are many hiking paths around, but the city is only 15 minutes car drive away.
  We are working in the olive oil industry, so the person can also expect to learn a lot about olive oil, running a start-up, and visit local farms.
  We eat mostly vegetarian and fresh foods. We cook local, but also Asian and French. You can expect to eat well, discover a lot about different cuisines, and of course different olive oils from around the Mediterranean.

  Hébergement

  Individual bedroom on the ground floor with private garden access and shared bathroom with water basin, shower and bidet. The bedroom includes a bed (which can be made either single or double, a closet, small desk and chair. It has 2 windows which open onto the back garden and a marvellous view of the hills and Assisi. The family's bedrooms are on the first floor.
  Food is mostly cooked by the mother, but you are welcome to help. Our diet is mostly vegetarian, with some exceptions of fresh fish and high quality meat when we can get our hands on it.
  Help cleaning common spaces once a week is expected, as well as maintaining one's own space in a good state of order and cleanliness. We try to do things together on an equal footing and teach the kids to help keep the space tidy and clean at their own pace (it's more about teaching than getting perfect results at their age of course :-) ).

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  If you are bringing your pet, and your pet lives indoors we would expect more help with house chores such as vacuuming because unfortunately, some of the members of our family are highly allergic to dustmites and many other inhalants. However, we love cats and dogs, to be discussed ! Please be aware many cats and dogs live around our place and there may be some territorial issues depending on the character of the pet...
