    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 Donnalucata (Scicli, RG). The house is surrounded by a big terrain, which need maintenance. I also need help to move some furnitures, assemble some furnitures and hang some paintings.

    I’m looking for one person who can come for a period of two weeks at the end of May.
    I’ll be away and need someone who can watch the house and my cat while I am away.

    Also, I will be hosting 2 people for the summer in August. The idea is to help 4/5 hrs a day, and help taking care of the house and the cat while I work.

    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.

    I’m looking for someone who is eager to share time in the house and help me bring energy to this magical place.
    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!

    you will be sharing this. Fostering the energy of this house: the place is absolutely amazing, and is surrounded by beautiful nature. If you love trails there is a provincial park along the coast nearby. Except work, we can do some Sicilian cooking and learn some Italian.
    I will be happy to take you away for the weekend and show you around (I am a licensed tour guide).
