We are practically self-sufficient with the food and energy that we produce. Cathy will be happy to talk food with you, and Keith self-sufficiency and energy projects. Depending on the season, cheese-making or sausage making could be in progress.

The work that we are doing depends on the season and weather, and whichever project is at the top of the list!

There are always the animals and veggies to look after.

Constant activities include harvesting (walnuts, olives, fruit, almonds), weeding, pruning, strimming / weed-whacking, processing wood for the fire and for mulching.

We also spend a lot of time maintaining and improving our home, a centuries old stone house. This may include painting, cleaning and small building works.

Lena and Flo were great workawayers. Always happy and hard-working, and Flo in particular has great practical skills and is really handy. They were fun company with many stories of their travels, with and without their cool van. We would definitely recommend them and they are welcome to come back any time.

Vom Workawayer (Lauren) für Host

Five+ stars for the beautiful, organized, outstanding Workaway experience offered by Cathy and Keith during my week-long stay with them in early September 2017. EXCELLENT and THANK YOU do not do justice to how much I appreciate their thoughtfulness in creating a meaningful experience for a first-time Workawayer, one that was tailored to meet the… read more needs of a new outdoor-worker like me. Although new to Workaway, I'm not new to co-living, shared volunteer work and the hospitality industry, so I do know what a great experience these hosts created for me. It's clear they're in the Super Host category and know how to treat their volunteer work stays with respect, friendliness, and consideration. This is what I take away from spending time working with them on their wonderfully, purposefully designed property.

In just one week, I learned and experienced so much! Where do I begin...I helped out with property chores such as moving stored firewood to prepare for the coming seasons as well as making charcoal, which was the first time for me and very cool. We discussed and did a bit of olive tree maintenance; fruit and nut tree harvesting; sustainable goat, pig and poultry care (and breeding considerations! Hi, Owen, hope you're feeling well! :)). Keith took the time to explain their amazing home solar/green energy set up. and of course, Cathy took time to navigate me through the veggie gardening, and especially their smart gardening and planning that allows for living mostly from growing their own food. What they've built on their property is just awesome, I so admire their dedication and way of life.

While busy with managing their own work and projects as well as their other business, they were always available and so patient and genuinely thoughtful in teaching and sharing information about how and why they do what they do. And then I was trusted to try out the work. The work was really great, a diverse set of projects, not too strenuous and again, meaningful. "Work hard, play hard," was a fantastic expectation to set, and it was met in a truly positive way. I learned a lot, got tired out, and then had a great time and great conversation at the end of each day. I also saw and learned a bit about the Puglia region, especially the unique landscape of the Trulli, and was given an opportunity to meet neighbors and other Workaway folks. I wound up really feeling a sense of community spending time there, and as a solo traveller these past few months, that meant a great deal.

I could go on and on, adding to the warm and well-deserved reviews of others who had a great experience like I did. But I'll end by saying, Cathy and Keith, I'm so grateful to you two! And to the Workaway community for connecting me to you and this lovely opportunity. I only hope it helped you out even a tiny bit as much as it benefitted me! Wishing you a beautiful, happy rest of 2017, and, beyond. I hope our paths cross again someday! Win-Win! :)

Although she's a newby in the garden and on the land, her enthusiasm and perseverence more than make up for any lack of knowledge. It was a real pleasure having her stay and work with us. Thanks Lauren, and good luck with the next stage!

Vom Workawayer (Phillip) für Host

Our stay with Cathy and Keith has quite possibly been life-changing. We want to go back NOW!

They have an infectious enthusiasm for the region & a lust for life. We just loved living with them. We learnt a lot about Puglia and we learnt a lot about living away from the rat-race.

They have worked extremely hard to make what we think is an… read more

Vom Workawayer (Rikke ) für Host

I had a great time in Puglia. It was hard work, but a good experience. Cathy and Keith are great hosts, and we always had interesting conversations with them. Food and accommodation is excellent, and the trullohouse is amazing.
There are many interesting sites and beautiful cities to visit in the area, and I hope to be back some day. Thanks for… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Rikke )

Rikke has been a great help in helping to cater for and manage guests during a Yoga Holiday. We were soon comfortable to leave her in charge of the villa and the kitchen.
We would certainly recommend Rikke as a Workawayer, and look forward to seeing her again.

Yes, there was never… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Alexandre & Ana)

Alex and Ana have been great volunteers and lovely house guests. They are hard working, considerate, good company and quick to make themselves at home.
They've helped out with a number of jobs, some very random due to the changeable weather and are always enthusiastic. What they lack in experience is certainly balanced with energy and a desire… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Jemma)

Jemma worked with us for 2 weeks and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She helped out with gardening, treating wood of sunbeds, chipping wood and made some fantastic cushions. She is great company and a considerate guest. She goes above and beyond the required task, and has good ideas on improvements.

I really hope that we see Jemma again… read more

Trace is great in the house, a demon weeder and good organiser. Baz is pretty scarey with the chain saw and handy with a plasterer's trowel. Both are good at… read more

Vom Workawayer (Tom) für Host

Cathy and Keith are wonderful hosts who made us feel extremely welcome and at ease from the moment we first met them until the time that we (sadly) departed on the rest of our travels.
We helped them with a number of projects both at their own home and at the holiday rental property which they run not far away. The work was fairly physical, but… read more
