  Descrição

  PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FULLY
  
  FYI: In order to be considered as a Workawayer, you must be a minimum of 21 years old, and your availability must be at least 1 month. We require European citizenship or permission to work. Also, we are not able to host couples or groups.
  
  Ciao! I’m a 26-year-old guy who runs a tourist Villa in Tuscany, near Montepulciano, with my family and staff. The estate, located in a beautiful position, on a hill of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, sunflower fields, and lakes, is one of the most famous in the area.
  
  Every year, the Villa is getting busier and busier, since we are trying to improve as much as we can.
  This year we opened our little restaurant for guests and visitors.
  
  We are looking for someone to help us with various tasks.
  The most important will be serving, maintenance, taking care of the guests, and garden care.
  As the serving in our restaurant can be very intensive, we expect working experience in the restaurant sector.
  This helps us to provide our guests with the best service possible.
  
  > From NOVEMBER to MARCH the tasks will typically be (off-season/no guests):
  
  Organizing:
  - Organize Farming Equipment & Rooms
  - Farmhouse Work in the garden
  - Remove Mosaic from the Pool
  - Clean common areas
  
  Garden care:
  - Collect & cut woods
  - Plant Plants
  - Seed & Cut grass
  
  
  > From MARCH to NOVEMBER the tasks will typically be (season/guests):
  
  Guests:
  - set up tables for breakfast, lunch & dinner
  - serving meals & drinks
  - clean up the dining area
  *Please note that sometimes dinners finish late.
  
  Maintenance:
  - cleaning (help in the kitchen and outside common spaces of the villa)
  - help with the preparation of the suites (putting the products & checking the suite before check-in)
  *Please note that the main cleaning of the suites is done by professional cleaners.
  
  Garden care:
  - watering the plants
  - raking & swiping around the house
  - taking care of olive trees and vineyards (sep-nov)
  
  We’re always busy at the farmhouse, therefore we seek workawayers who have knowledge or skills in serving, house maintenance, guest care and gardening. We are hard-working people, so we’re also looking for workawayers who can get up early to make breakfast and go to bed late after serving dinner.
  
  We require flexibility regarding the working hours per day since the tourism sector is very hard to plan. However, there will be one free day every week in which there is the possibility to rent a bike or Vespa or to take the train to explore the surrounding area.
  
  I believe that having different points of view from people around the world is one of the most important things for a business. Maybe you can teach us something!
  
  We are looking for a Workawayer, but mostly for a loyal and respectful friend, a new foreign member of our family!
