The experience with us will let you see lots of beautiful places and islands from the sea, enjoy the experience of a taste of good siciian food and good fish!Catania is wonderful for exploring, going out, walking around and the train station is a 10 minute walk from the B&B. Even in the low tourist season you can discover the surroundings , Taormina in 1 hour by bus,Siracusa is about 1 hour 20 minutes by train, Etna volcano is about 2 hours, Palermo is about 2 hours by bus, and many small Sicilian towns are all around us.
Help
We are looking for people interested in tourism and who like the hospitality business. Outgoing, social and energetic people are the best. The duties are mostly housework and cleaning, it's easy, but serious. The chores include preparing, cleaning the rooms and bathrooms, making the beds, doing the laundry and ironing sheets, accommodating guests in the evening and keeping the B&B neat and orderly. Not all of these chores are necessarily carried out every single day. Since the work is on average 2/3 hours a day, some days more, some days none, some days 15 minutes, etc., we do not provide food. We see a fair exchange to be giving our helpers a free private room in a cozy, clean, safe environment with kitchen use.
