Description
hello everybody. I am Nino from Venice, after working for many years as a hotel manager i decided to buy a house and make my own home and we need some help to renovate this house in center of Venice near San Marco.
I am married and have 2 sons. I like to share my experience with other .I speak English and bit of Spanish and France.
our house is in sestiere (Castello) and it is just few minute from san marco square. Near our house there are very nice bars and coffee where you can enjoy daily life. The help we need is cleaning and fixing doors and windows and giving color to the walls and take our dog for the walk and we need baby sitter to take care of our 2 kids. we need also who can fix hydraulic electric person who can fix small things.Note that we can not take couples or families.
We welcome social animals and hard workers or simply positive people who can bring here a wave of good energy!
House Rules
How many hours will you help?
You will volunteer for 5 hours a day for 5 days a week. About the hours: Here we take work seriously, that means we are working, not talking, for that you have all the rest of the day we know what it means 5 hour real work if you play around time will be longer.!
Your free time...
The two free days you get all the day off, but can not be taken consecutively so you work 5 day and you get one day off.
Other things to have in mind:
when you have day off we do not serve food at all and we ask you to go out and see the city and come back for sleep.
We allow for workawayers to drink and smoke in the house. Obviously we do not tolerate any excess! And needless to say we do not provide alcohol or tabaco. we give lanch and breakfast not dinner,
no student who comes to venice for stady .
We hope to hear from you soon!
All the best, Nino

I really enjoyed the time I spent at Nino's place. He's a very friendly host and tells many funny stories of his life!:) The work was various and interesting and I met nice people there. The location of the house is very good - you can discover Venice perfectly from there. I hope you'll finish soon! Thank you

The 10 days we spent with her went too fast! alin was extremely helpful and showed a lot of initiative by seeing things that needed to be done and just doing them! She worked really well with me and she worked very well on her own. Often I would have to leave for the day and she worked… read more

I spent one month at Nino's place this summer. It has been amazing.
I asked to help to renovate the house. That is exactly what I ended up doing. (I learnt to work with Stucco and antitarlo..) But besides that, I also cooked and walked the dog. I met other workawayers and Nino's family. I helped a bit at a youth hostel, where I met other… read more

I am very grateful for my time in venice. I came to Italy spontaneously and Nino luckily accepted my last minute request. Thank u! I directly felt home in his place and I even stayed longer than I planned to. You start your day not knowing what is going to happen, and everyday there is going on something else.
