    =============

    Hi there

    We are a recently retired couple. Fabrizio is Italian and I’m Irish (Yvonne). We both took early retirement in July 2021 to pursue our dream of moving to Sicily. We’re just coming to the end of renovating our wonderful house and large garden, only 800m from the sea and beautiful beaches.

    We love Sicily, love good food, and enjoy the sunshine. We can provide accommodation and all meals to someone who’d be happy to get stuck in to general work in both the house and the garden.
    The garden in particular needs a lot of attention and will require some pretty physical work. Although work on the house is almost complete there may be odd jobs to do inside also.

    Our house is 3km outside the seaside town of Pozzallo, a short bike ride away. It’s a vibrant town all year round. Bigger towns of Ispica and Modica are a bus ride away.

    A great opportunity to learn Italian, enjoy some authentic Sicilian life and see a neglected garden brought back to life. So far, we've really enjoyed being Workaway hosts and have kept in touch with many of our lovely volunteers. We like the social part of the workaway experience and enjoy getting to know our volunteers.

    Sadly we can not help Workawayers looking for residency.

    We cannot provide you with any insurance while staying with us nor with travel insurance, so we advise you to take care of that matter on your own. However, we do our best to provide a safe environment to avoid any accidents from happening in the first place.

    Thank you for taking the time to read our profile :-)
