Description
For this year 2024 we are looking for our magical unique place preferentially for a little family or 2 people e.g. Friends or a couple who would take care of the gardening and look after the house and olive grove in our absence.
This is a fantastic opportunity to have enough peace and quiet in nature in authentic Sicily, and at the same time be close to the sea, the volcano and all the other Sicilian attractions.
Who we are looking for:
Trustworthy, nature-loving people. You should roundabout 7 weeks time (We will be away for 6 weeks and would need 1 week to get you started)
You should be prepared to live a vegetarian in our place, and you must have a car as we are in the middle of nature. Gardening can be physically demanding at times, so it would make sense that at least one of you is used to this type of work.
You would live in a nice caravan and have your own bathroom and outdoor kitchen, all with sea and volcano views.
If this sounds interesting to you, please contact us for further information and exchange.
We are an adventurous family from Germany, and we spend every summer in our cottage in Sicily. We would like to set up a small retreat for spiritual meetings which will be community based. We also organize Breathwork and Conscious Dance Events. Our house is wonderfully situated in nature between old olive trees. We are Gauri and Jaganta, our 2 children and 2 dogs. Our property is situated at the foot of Mount Etna and offers a wonderful view of the top of the volcano. It is only 15 minutes by car to the beach and 20 minutes to the beautiful, world-famous city of Taormina. Catania Airport is around 40 km away.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our place is very rural and the equipment is simple. The panorama of the place is breathtaking, perfect for a change of scene.
Help
Since we want to expand our project we are looking for someone to help us.
There is renovation work on the house as well as small construction tasks such as build a canopy and wooden platforms for yoga. There is also gardening to be done. However, the time required is not too great, so there is still a lot of time for vacation.
Since we may not be there all the time, someone would have to take care of the house too. We are looking for a person or a couple who would like to support us for 2 to 3 weeks or even longer and spend a wonderful summer in Sicily.
