    Description

    Hi I am francesca and I recently lost my dear friend, Gigi. He was an artist and he lived in the countryside in a lovely place between Ceglie Messapica and Ostuni. His house, a lamia with trulli and a beautiful garden, is full of his special artworks created with old pieces of wood that he found walking along the amazing beaches of Puglia. He loved vintage furniture, old cars, music from the 70s, recycled materials and nature. He was a spiritual researcher too, that is why my goal is to transform his place in a space to hold seminars and events about spiritual growth and, of course, art.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a lot to learn about old life style in South Italy, in contact with nature, surrounded by ancient olive trees and beautiful landscapes. There is lot to learn also about the ancient way of building houses, just with stones and lime plaster.

    I am looking for an help in painting the house with natural eco materials, I need to paint the outside of the house, that is an old lamia with trulli.I need to clean and tide up the inside too and I need help with 2 dogs. This is not a community project yet, we are just starting. At the moment it is a quiet place in the countryside, you will be working alone on various repairs and updates to the property. I’ll visit occasionally but you are going to be largely responsible for yourself and your meals. It is a peaceful, contemplative environment in nature.

    The minimum stay is 15 days.
