  Description

  Hi, my name is Emanuele, I’m 42, I teach yoga, I’m vegan, and I live with my furry lovely cat Enrica in Mazara del Vallo, in the deepest south of Italy. Have you ever heard about Sicily? It’s just a paradise!
  I used to travel as a yoga teacher but a few years ago I decided to come back to Italy, and I bought a beautiful house just a bit out of town, in the quiete countryside. We are just a few minutes by car away from all the fancy amenities city offers and from breathtaking beaches, but we are surrounded by olive trees, vineyards, and colourful fields. Borgata Costiera is the name of the tiny village where I live and maybe I’ll host you.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Here you have the chance to feel grounded and find some relax. You can learn Italian language, cuisine and tradition as well. Sun is always shining and there are several places deserving a visit. You can also practice yoga with me, I teach everyday. You will love Sicily. It's the county of sun and it's always warm. Here traditions are really strong, and you can see them in the everyday life. People are so friendly and always ready to share with you some food (it's our way to show you care for someone). The area around is gorgeous, from very old villages to huge metropolitan cities, from Greek temples to magnificent natural reserves, olive trees and vineyards, beautiful sea and beaches and breathtaking sunsets. Sicily is so peculiar that it deserve not just a short visit, but a little piece of your life.

  Help

  I really need help with gardening! It’s not a huge garden but it’s been abandoned for years. There are a few orange and lemon trees, some ornamental plant, and I would like to build a tiny vegetable garden. I also need help to plant pot and to create nice green spots. A gardener will do the heaviest jobs. I would like to host someone who loves nature, quite and relax, but also funny, creative and passionate. It’s gonna be just 2-3 hours/day, the rest of the time you are free to enjoy life.

  Accommodation

  I’m Italian and hospitality is very important! You will have your private room and toilet, separated by my apartment. Or you can choose to share a bigger space in a 3 bedrooms apartment, but with a stunning view. You decide! I would like to share my kitchen, cook and have meals together.
