  Descrição

  I am from Florence but live in Rome during the winter and in the countryside during summer. The place in the countryside, called Sigliano, is located in Toscana and belonged to my family since the XIII century, when I inherited it 13 years ago consisted mostly in ruins. I restored two buildings, which now my family uses as holiday place. There is a big villa dating 1500 which is still a ruin because we cannot afford restoration. The villa has a large hanging garden with stone walls all around partially destroyed. My objective is to rebuilt the walls utilizing the available stones, I would also like to learn some masonry skills so as to be able to continue the works on my own.
  I am now retired (64 yrs old) and spend much more time in the countryside, basically from May to end of October. Lot of help in the garden (pruning, mowing, fertilizing, etc, according to the season), and also some basic help around the place!

  Ajuda

  Property in Toscana countryside, I need masonry skills to restore/rebuild old garden walls. The walls are originally made by stones with the "a secco" technique, stones are available on the ground! A person/couple with very good masonry experience would be an asset! In the spring (May to June) I would also need some help in deep cleaning the whole place, after it being closed for six months. Also pruning, weeding, chopping wood and all kind of gardening help would be welcome!

  Algo mais...

  Plenty of art sites in the neibourhood and possibility of day trips. Local transportation not easy but feasible. The house is in the middle of a protected area with long walking tracks through woods and fields. The place is famous due to st. Francis of Assisi being hosted by my family in his pilgrimage from Assisi to La Verna.
