Description
A lovely spot to experience in a comfy tiny house in the middle of olive trees. The nature here is amazing, the sea just few minutes away (by car - ideally you bring your own one) and the beauty of the region quite unique. The ‘mission’ includes basic gardening, animal sitting, and sometimes small construction/renovation tasks.
Ideally longer term travelers but opened to everything; someone trustful, reliable and who loves the idea of living a bit off grid.
Obviously open also for couples. Love for nature and a good vibe with animals are the main tools you need :) if you are handy with small construction things or good at gardening (permaculture even more) big plus of course. Thanks
Warmest!
Charlie

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The place is on the countryside near Scicli, a truly beautiful area. The neighbours children bring much life to the place, and we're lucky here to be surrounded by mostly genuine, simple and adorable people from the countryside.
Help
I’d be happy about different type of helps, but the first mission now would be helping with creating a covered structure for a bigger compost place and gardening.

Accommodation
There's one house which is 'finished' and the second smaller one almost. At the moment I need to rent it out a bit, therefore we can welcome travelers in our renovated container (aka tiny house for fancy language..). It’s a beautiful independent structure where we welcome friends and travelers.
It is clean and comfy, with a bath tube a small fire oven, and all you need (AC in the summer). It has dry toilet but that’s very hygienic when correctly built and a lovely way to experience a more ecological lifestyle. You get fresh eggs every day from our fancy chicken and veggies from the garden in the green season.
What else ...
I dont follow stict rules, and therefore i think the best is always to let each one bring and share what he/she wants, and let things come as they'll come. On the principle I simply like the idea of sharing this lovely place and offering this original experience in a nature immersed structure in return of some precious (there’s always smth to do here..). Smth like 3 hours of help per day seems fair in my eyes in exchange of lots of free time and a magical place for you.
