  Description

  Buongiorno!
  If you love the countryside and the sea, if you love gardening and are looking to spend few weeks in 𝑺𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒚 this might be the place for you!
  I just moved to a new place close to Sampieri (Scicli, RG). The house is surrounded by a big terrain, which needs maintenance.
  I’m willing to host a volunteer for a period of 10 days / 2 weeks max. I would love to find someone who is willing to help and share some time cooking & chatting too, but at the same time you should be independent and organize your free time (I am close to the beach!).
  I am currently looking to refresh my FRENCH so a french person/couple would be preferred, but I am pretty open.
  Your tasks include:
  - Olive picking
  - house cleaning
  - garden work
  - almond picking
  - take care of the cat
  I might be away depending on work schedule, so you could be requested to watch the house and my cat while I am away.
  
  Weekends are off: if you like, I can show you around while you are staying here.
  You’ll have your own room and bathroom.
  Breakfast/Dinner are offered.
  
  PLEASE BE AWARE: the house is located 1 km away from the beach, 15min by car from Scicli or Sampieri and 30’ from Marina di Ragusa. I will try to offer a bike during your stay, so you can go explore the surroundings the rest of the day.
  However, there is no big city close, so just consider this before applying.
  I am looking forward to having you here!
  Couples or friends are welcome!

  I will be happy to take you away for the weekend and show you around (I am a licensed tour guide).
