The program is very simple: you will have a fully equipped private apartment, with an outdoor space and the possibility to use, whenever available, the pool, ping pong table, barbecue, and all common areas with a very welcoming atmosphere.

We are always supportive and available. In exchange, we only ask the boy to occasionally assist our gardener with the outdoor work and, from time to time, help with small tasks such as painting or fixing things around the property. For the girl, we ask to keep the house tidy, clean, presentable, and pleasant.

It involves just a few hours per day, leaving plenty of free time to enjoy the seaside, the local area where you will be living, and also the opportunity to visit Rome. We have another home there where you may stay, help take care of it, and enjoy exploring the Eternal City.


Activities & Shift

The program is very simple: we ask the male partner to help our regular gardener, who has been with us for thirty years, taking care of the garden, plants, flowers, and similar tasks. We ask the female partner to help with cleaning and keeping the house in order when family members, friends, or guests are coming. The commitment is minimal: only three hours a day, five days a week. We are mainly looking for people who are autonomous and independent in organizing and managing tasks, because we trust that you will do a good job. After receiving all the necessary guidance, you will have plenty of free time and can enjoy all the spaces available—pool, garden, hammock, ping pong, outdoor areas—as well as your own independent apartment with full privacy.


Rules

We don’t impose strict rules; we simply ask for reliability regarding your stay, meaning not leaving earlier than agreed or at least giving one month’s notice. We also ask that you take care of everything with care and respect, just as if it were your own home—because that’s exactly how we want you to feel. So please treat everything as if you were the owners, because that’s how we will make you feel.

We also ask for flexibility: just as there may be many more free days than expected, there may occasionally be a day when an extra hour is needed, or a moment when help is required during the weekend—in which case you can take time off during the week. This can happen from time to time in the summer season, but overall there is much more free time than required, so you can enjoy your time or even look for a part-time job in the afternoons or evenings.
