    Description

    Hello everyone! I am Maria, I am a Literature and history teacher. I used to travel a lot and lived in various European countries. When I decided to stop travelling I settled in my Apulia, where I was born.
    I live with my mother, 86 years old, in an old rural house 2.5 km from Polignano a mare, a wonderful coastal town in Puglia. Around the house there is a large area of ​​ancient olive trees. In addition to shared spaces, I offer a single room with a shared bathroom or a double room, always with a shared bathroom. We guarantee a family and open environment, based on shared rules and mutual respect. I ask workawayers, if possible, to stay with us for at least a month, possibly longer. Waiting for you!

    ¡Hola a todos! Soy María, soy profesora de Literatura y Historia. Solía ​​viajar mucho y viví en varios países europeos. Cuando decidí dejar de viajar, me instalé en mi Apulia, donde nací.
    Vivo en una antigua casa rural a 2,5 km de Polignano a mare, un maravilloso pueblo costero de Puglia. Alrededor de la casa hay una gran extensión de olivos centenarios. Mi madre, de 86 años, vive conmigo. Además de los espacios compartidos, brindo una habitación individual con baño compartido o una habitación doble, siempre con baño compartido. Garantizamos un ambiente familiar y abierto, basado en reglas compartidas y respeto mutuo. Pido a los workawayers, si es posible, que se queden con nosotros al menos un mes, posiblemente más. ¡Yo te espero!
