Description
HELP SIMONA & ECTOR WITH THEIR BUSY LIFE • COUNTRY, PETS AND HOSPITALITY
Hello,
We are Ector and Simona, from the beautiful Salento in Puglia.
We love simplicity, nature, and critical/artistic/ thinking :)
We're looking for Independent, flexible, and sociable people who's eager to live for a while in a quiet environment, surrounded by nature.
We offer a peaceful space, with large outdoor spaces and the sea just a few minutes' drive away. Here, the pace is relaxed, and we believe in collaboration, mutual respect, and everyone's freedom.
The commitment required is light, generally 2 to 4 hours a day, depending on your needs. Tasks may include light housekeeping, help organizing events, and support with daily activities. Anyone who wishes can actively participate in our projects and contribute their ideas and skills.
If you appreciate the outdoors, simplicity, and an experience based on trust, exchange, and sharing, we'd be happy to meet you.
What do we offer:
-accommodation in a room in a nice small "masseria"
-land with spring water from an artesian well. We refill drinkable water from the nearest fountain.
-proximity to the Ionian Sea of Salento (2.5 kms from Maruggio, 10 kms from Manduria);
-introduction into our community (Maruggio/Manduria) and possibly into active community projects;
- the chance to start personal projects within the place, using the already existing APS;
We hope you can be the right one!
Keep in touch :) -

Can host digital nomads
Digital nomads are welcome but keep in mind that Maruggio is not a place conceived for that (but Manduria is, we have wifi in Manduria). People in Maruggio have their own internet connection and the desks provided are those found in the camper or spotted around in the land when the weather is fine (most of the time from April to October - then it could be rainy but it's still a very mild winter). Different thing in Manduria where you have wifi - as said - and your own room. But if you look for the wild and nature life go for Maruggio!
