    Description

    We are a Belgian/italian family (with 3 teenagers) who settled in Sicily to open a B & B in a charming farmer casale. Located in the nature reserve of Pino d'Aleppo, the project is ecological and ambitious. The building is, finally, restored. But we have a lot of finition to do ... And I have too much ideas to plan.

    As the children are at school and my husband often away to resolved administrative problems, I am often alone to do the things I want to do ...

    Ibam searching some help for the garden ans to help me in the restoration of thé building (strip/repoint walls, ...) , help me put away ils parts, ... And also cooking.

    If you are ready to get a little dirty :-)
