Description
Hello everybody,
this spring, about end of march/april we need people (1-2max) that would like to help us out setting up the summer garden and to build/finish our straw bale cottage house.
In the garden will be needed to work the soil, put fertilizer, set up the lines and to plant young plants and put seeds; some times it could be a hard job.
In the house we need to put a floor, put palm leaves to isolate our roof, finish the clay walls, put the sanitary system, install an oven, build stairs and so on... Plenty of things to do!
Do you have experience in working wood or are you even a plumber and could give us a hand setting up a bathroom?
We are looking for people that are skilled in manual work and are also interested in helping us out setting up the summer garden. If you are seriously interested in putting your energy to help us and bring some skills to join us effectively we are very happy to welcome you!
Our accommodation is simple and rural. It's a perfect place if you like to have a quiet time in the nature.
We'll provide you a simple caravan in our property where we build the house. There's a cold water shower, a fireplace, a roofed kitchen with gas and a compost toilet that needs to be emptied once a week to do compost out of it. At the moment there is no electricity but the power system running by wind is just waiting to be installed. This is gonna be one of the things need to be done.
The place is very close to the beach and to the port where you can drink a coffee or something else in a bar. The next shops are 5km far away. It would be helpful to have a car.
Claudio and me, we live very close to that property.
We will offer you a simple breakfast and lunch and the working times will be 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.
We are looking forward to get in contact with you!
Tanti saluti,

We offer you a little caravan with sea view and a double bed.
It's rustic, in the middle of nature and also a little bit romantic, because the sound of the waves will be the first you hear in the morning!
For now there is a cold shower or bucket shower (heat up water on the stove/fire).
!Please bring only natural soap and shampoo!

In your time off there are lots of beautiful and interesting places to visit: nuraghic ruins, stunning beaches, a mystical castle ruin, sweet little tows and plenty walking paths surrounded by wild nature and fantastic lookouts. Also in our walking distance!
