  Beschreibung

  Hi! I'm Vincenza and I live in the countryside of Polignano A Mare (Apulia) since last 8 years, with Salo (my husband) and our animals.
  It's a very peaceful place for who loves nature and animals, respecting everything and everyone.
  My everyday goal is to live in harmony with nature and animals (humans included), exchange experiences, knowledge and culture.

  If you enjoy peace and quiet and want to escape the city noise for a while, this is a good option.
  In the southern part of Italy where we are, you can discover several beautiful places to visit by train or bus.

  Arbeit

  We need different kind of help: cleaning inside and outside, painting walls and gates, general maintenance with electricity and water (so electrician and plumber are welcome), animals care, gardening, watering, cooking or help in cooking, preparing conserves, harvesting fruits (apricots, figs, mulberry, grapes...based on the month) and olives (in November ).
  
  We expected 5 hours of help for 5 days a week.
  Volunteers have two 20-minute breaks—one for breakfast and one for a rest—which are not included in the five-hour work week
  
  If something is not clear about the assigned work, please ask us.
  
  If you need help for doing the assigned work, please ask us.
  
  Every day, after working, show what you did.
  
  Every day, after working, put back in place all the tools you used.
  
  If you finish the work please tell us.
  
  Don't take initiative about the work unless it's an emergency or we expressly ask you to do this. Suggestions are welcome but this doesn't mean that we have to agree.
  
  If you need something or if you don't feel comfortable with something or someone (accommodation, food, animals, other helpers... ) please tell us.
  
  Let us know in advance about your days off and your generic plans about your time off.
  If you decide to spend at home your day off, polite help is appreciated.
  
  Please, when you arrive, give us a relative's or friend's telephone number for emergency.
  
  IMPORTANT:
  - we don't accept smokers
  - we don't accept alcoholics
  - we don't accept people with addictions in general;
  - Any object broken by the volunteer will be charged.
  - We appreciate the help preparing lunch and cleaning up afterwards.
  - We like proactive and energetic volunteers; working in the countryside is hard, and sometimes we have to work when it's hot, when it's cold, when it's windy, when it's rainy, so, if you are not an hard worker, forget it.
  
  Usually we spend great time with our volunteers, but in case we don't feel comfortable, we'll ask you to leave, as well as you can leave if you don't feel comfortable.
  
  We strongly wish to spend good time together!

  Unterkunft

  There is one guest room, so it's possible that you have to share the room with another volonteer. Please use this room for your time off or stay outside in the garden (please don't spend your time off in the kitchen or in the house, we like sharing some moments of the day but we need some privacy too).
  
  There is one bathroom with shower and bidet, shared. Please keep clean and tidy the bathroom and the others common spaces after using.
  
  I like cooking but this doesn't mean that I have to cook everyday for everyone. Turning in kitchen is requested, even if you are not good in cooking you can help in cutting and washing the vegetables and washing up.
  
  I'm vegan so I offer you only simple vegan food (we have fresh vegetables and fruit from the garden).
  
  Everything personal (shampoo, soap, toothpaste...) or extra food (snacks, beers, wine) is not included
  
  We recommend bringing appropriate clothing and footwear for working on the farm. As we live on the outskirts of town, water consumption is limited, and we only use the washing machine on Sundays.
  We use it only for essential laundry; if you bring a lot of clothes, there is a washing machine in the town center. We cook once a day, and the leftovers are eaten in the evening.
  On your day off, only breakfast will be provided; all other meals are the volunteer's responsibility.
  Any items broken by the volunteer will be charged.

  In your time off, if you decide to stay at home, polite help would be appreciated.
  You can enjoy the quiet of the countryside on the hammock that is in the garden or you can spent time visiting the town of Polignano a Mare. There isn't public transport for reaching the town or the beach but it's only 40-50 minute walking.I have a bicycle that you can use if you are expert in that. For farther destination (Brindisi, Lecce, Bari) you can get the train.
  Of course we'll pick you up at the train station the day you arrive and we take you there when you leave.
