Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Ostuni is in the middle of Salento, when you step into the old town centers it's like going back in time (not the tourist towns) but those off the tourist trail. the old piazzas call out about a different time, a time when you helped your neighbors, the family came first and you had parties in the street.
Help
We have some making good and painting to do, the land needs to be cleaned and dependant on the stage a couple of jobs are at, some general clearing up. You will be expected to deep clean the appartment before you leave.
