    Hi everybody! I am Nico, the owner of a resort with a horse farm in San Vito lo Capo.
    The resort is like a charming little village with a lot of apartments and some rooms. There are lots of plants, calm hidden corners and a beautiful view including the sunset over the sea everyday. There even are some trails you can hike inside the resort. The horse farm is located right next to it. There are many horses and some other farm animals.
    In front of the resort is the beautiful natural reserve "Monte Cofano", where you can go for a swim in crystal blue or a hike along the coast or up Monte Cofano. Also the natural reserve "Riserva dello Zingaro" is really close and offers beautiful beaches as well as impressive hikes along the coast.
    The small town of San Vito lo Capo is full of life and has many bars, good restaurants and a beautiful beach with a lot of sport options like stand up paddling (with or without yoga) or scuba diving. But you can also go on chill excursions by boat.
    Trapani is about 30 minutes by bus and offers not only a beautiful and charming city center but you can also take 30/40 minutes ferry rides to the Egadi Islands Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo.
    We are happy to host you and would love to be part of a wonderful & unforgettable experience. This is a place where you can feel at home. Our big family is looking for someone who can help us behind the bar, in the kitchen, and other activities. We are very excited to meet you.

    Due to the emergency in Ukraine, for all the position below we will evaluate any candidature from the ukrainian refugees.
