    Description

    Hi, we are Isabella and Bruno. We have a small family masseria in Maruggio, Puglia.

    Our home is an old farmhouse in the countryside, not far from the sea. We live here and welcome guests during the summer months.

    From May to September we look for one or two people to help us with daily tasks. This includes cleaning, helping with breakfast, some cooking, light gardening, and general help around the house.

    We are looking for people who are responsible, respectful, and easy to live with. We like a calm and simple way of life, and we appreciate people who can adapt and help where needed.

    In exchange, you can experience life in the south of Italy, close to nature and the sea, and share some time with us.

    If you are interested, we would be happy to hear from you.

    Our masseria is a place where you can experience everyday life in Puglia. You will share time with us, meals, and the quiet rhythm of the countryside near the sea.

    We enjoy cooking local food and talking about our traditions and the history of this area. At the same time, we like to learn about other cultures and meet new people.

    For us, this is not just work, but also a chance to spend time together, share experiences, and create a friendly and respectful atmosphere.
