    Description

    ! I prefer to host couples - preferably looking for someone that would like to stay for the whole summer season !

    Hi workawayers! I’m Tiziana and I’m the owner of a family-run farm since 2006, located in the National Park of Porto Selvaggio in Salento, Italy.
    It is not just a farm but it also offers accommodation, mostly in summer because of the very good weather and the perfect position near the sea but far from the chaos of the touristic cities in the nearby.
    Our Casato is the best place to enjoy nature in a relaxing atmosphere, with several activities that involve yoga, mindfullness and well-being.
    (I know a very little English but I’m learning so we can manage it, maybe with a little help. This means that I mostly speak Italian).

    Being a touristic accommodation, I'm looking for someone that knows how to:
    1. Take care of the outdoors (green and pool area),
    2. Carpenting-woodworking and general building maintenance
    3. Housekeeping of guests' rooms
    4. Preparation (baking) and service of the breakfast

    Important: I have dogs so be ready to get to know them!

    What else ...

    Nardò and Gallipoli are the closest cities to my manor, which is obviously located in the countryside. During your free time I can give you a lift to the Nardò train station or to Gallipoli train or bus stations so you can move from there using the public transports or we can decide to hang out together so I can show you some spots of my beloved Salento!
