We have been very fortunate to be given the opportunity to house sit in a 700 year old house for 10 days in a very small village in central Tuscany, near Sienna. The area was beautiful and I can see why so many people buy holiday homes in Tuscany.
The house was like stepping back in time. Helen who owned the house was an Australian, who grew up in the Snowy Mountains. She had lived in Italy for 32 years and is a translator. She is also a member of a network called Global Footprints. So she was very careful to use as few resources as possible to live her life.
The house was wonderful with all old wooden furniture and basic appliances - but we had all we needed.
It was a very relaxing time staying in one place for 12 days and not having to constantly pack up and drive somewhere.
