Description
Ciao a tutti,
we are looking for enthusiastic persons willing to give us a hand to work on a ground that needs to be refreshed and restyled.
We have purchased a land of more than one hectare adjacent to our property. It has been in a state of total abandon for more than 40 years. Some job has already been done but there is still a lot to do. If you like to make your hands dirty with plants and nature and your are not scared of Sicilian sun, then this is the right place for you!
Waiting to hear from you!

We like share free time with our guests so we may plan some excursion together, at the same time our friends will hopefully involve you in some trip around and tracking in the Etna...
