    Description

    House-sitting with two lovely dogs (and few cats) to experience in a comfy tiny house in the middle of olive trees from 5th to 18th of September. The space is simple but very comfy, hot water, WiFi, and great company 🐕.

    A bit further on the same land lives a friend of mine (she, 35) who is also a very nice (but busy in day time so sue can’t be with the dogs in that period). The nature here is amazing, the sea just few minutes away (by car - ideally you bring your own one but I could also leave mine eventually) and the beauty of the region quite unique. Close by we have also a wonderful old town (Scicli) registered.

    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

    Help

    I’d be happy about different type of helps, but when I’m looking for workawayers it’s mostly because I plan to be away and need people enjoying the place by themselves and look after the two dogs and cats.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The tiny house is very comfortable, has the basic comfort (hot water) internet, but mostly offers a very nature orientated vibe without being too isolated. The toilet is a compost toilet (but well constructed, clean and attached to the house). It has also a large terrasse to enjoy the external vibes and magic lights.

  • What else ...

    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 help (there’s always smth to do here..).
