    Description

    Hello, I take care of a charming rural house with a magnificent garden near Terrasini, Sicily. The name of the countryside is Lo Zucco, a place special to me where all my childhood memories took place. I lived off the island and recently I decided to came back home in Sicily. I am looking for someone interested in gardening and small crafts that want to give a hand to my parents, Monica and Paolo, and me maintaining the garden.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I love to learn new things and I appreciate exchanging ideas and suggestions related to gardening projects. We can sometimes have dinner together (and bake home maked pizza!) and I will happily recommend wonderful places to explores nearby.

    Help

    The main tasks will include:
    🌾 keeping the garden free of overgrown vegetation and weeds to prevent fire hazards
    🍊Pruning citrus trees
    🌷Planting new plants and taking care of their growth
    🪷Restoring areas of the garden that have been neglected over time

    I will show you how to carry out all of these tasks, so previous experience in agriculture or gardening is valuable (but not necessary). What matters most is having a willingness to help, learn, and get involved

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Workawayers will stay in a shared room in a private house, with bathroom and kitchen, inside the property. I will provide a weekly pocket money for food that you can cook in your own kitchen. I strongly suggest you to rent a car at the beginning of you stay, if this is not a suitable option for you I can provide electric bikes to reach the nearest town, Terrasini, with a 20 minutes bike ride to get whatever you fancy.
    From Terrasini a bus brings to Palermo in around half an hour.
    We can also arrange to have your campervan inside the property (just let me know what you would need)

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In your free time you can relax in the garden, visit the nearby beaches or villages, have a hike on the mountain near to the property or have a day trip to Palermo.
    If you don’t have a private car (which you can rent at your arrival), I can provide you with electric bikes to reach the town of Terrasini, from where you can catch a bus to Palermo. It is fundamental that you will be able to move in autonomy since the nearest town (Terrasini) is 5km away.
