Description
Come help me and my family run a nice farmhouse in Tuscay, near Montepulciano.
The farmhouse (one of the most famous in the area) is located in a beautiful position on a hill of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, sunflower fields, and lakes.
We produce DOC red wine, extra virgin olive oil, and honey, which will be ready for shipment in September.
The farmhouse is located near UNESCO heritage sites (Montepulciano, Val d'Orcia, Assisi, Siena) and many other famous cities and countries (Florence, Pienza, Montalcino, Perugia, Cortona, Città della Pieve, Rome, Castiglione del Lago, Orvieto).
We host people from all over the world (United States, China, Canada, Germany, Holland, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Spain, Austria ...) and we get easily fully booked since we open (April 3d) when we close (October 30th).
This year we have a lot of new projects to develop. We are looking for a person who can help us with garden care and guests.
The tasks will be watering the plants, cleaning the pool, take care of olive trees and vineyards, cutting the grass.
The farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse and we collaborate with many famous wineries of Montepulciano. You will see how wine is produced and you will know places full of history and tradition.
I believe that having different points of view from people around the world is one of the most important things for a business.
We are searching for a Workayer but mostly for a loyal and respectful friend, a new foreign member of our family!
Preferred skills:
- Previous experiences in gardening;
- Good level of English (Candidates who know several languages will have an advantage);
- Aesthetic point of view
Accommodation
- We live 4 km from the farmhouse, in a small village in the countryside, small but equipped with all services such as supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bar, gym and much more.
- In the summer it's very hot and it rarely rains.
- You will live in our house and sleep in the guest room.
- You will eat with us and you will eat very well indeed. From meat to homemade pasta, we are very attentive to food. We only eat organic and healthy foods that often come from our area. The Mediterranean diet is full of typical dishes that will leave you entranced.
