    Description

    text version in English:
    Hi, my name is Sebastiano, I own several pieces of land and I work with other friends
    in the production of citrus fruits, olive trees, etc., in the Etna plain in the Catania area,
    from the train station and Catania airport it takes 30 minutes to get to our accommodation. we are Sicilian DOP, but with an open mind.
    if you wish to interact with the locals we are available to travel around Sicily when possible and if we are not busy with personal commitments or priority events.
    you could help us with various simple jobs in our fields, various tasks such as taking care of the garden plants and harvesting products, you can also collaborate with various household tasks, preparing food if you wish.
    we are several friends, owners of land and farmhouses, where we will be able to carry out various activities, for the moment there is not much work to do, only occasional jobs,
    but if you are special people you can stay for free for a few days, if you are busy with your digital work and cannot exchange working hours, we are open to other options to be agreed.
    obviously the guest can use her time as he wishes,
    we want to remind you that a country house is a country house and sometimes there are not all the comforts of a hotel,
    we have internet for digital nomads and for those who know how to work remotely online.
    We would like to live and share our spaces: the house, the gardens, the land, with other people who, like us, love nature and want to be in good company, eat in a group in the field, celebrate with music, establish lasting relationships over time, obviously we support people who put into practice the awareness of mutual respect and who undertake a life path with optimism.

    we are open to the possibility of creating projects together and sharing them with more people.
    We are waiting for you, contact us.
