Help with gardening, painting and other tasks in Sardinia, Italy

  Description

  Our home is on a little island called San Pietro off the southern coast of Sardinia, Italy. Here you can reconnect with nature and a more simple way of life immersed in nature.
  
  It is one of the island’s first B&B’s. It's a 5-minute walk to a beautiful sunset beach. It is eco-friendly with a well for water, solar panels for electricity and heating water, lots of fruit trees, and soon a veggie garden.
  
  After 15 years, it was passed on from mother to son Christopher, and he chose to honor and name it after her.
  
  We're open to DIY ideas to make the garden even more enchanting and welcoming. The work is normally kept for the morning hours, leaving most of the afternoon and evenings free - meaning you will have enough time to enjoy our beautiful island. You will get a free place to stay in the shaded caravan with its own separate and private Mexican-style bathroom, and a kitchen.
  
  As compensation; you will be receiving 5 euros per hour that can go towards your own cooking if you prefer. During off season and depending on the project things can change, we always find the best solution together..
  
  About the host Christopher : a lover of music and may be organizing some dancing events throughout the summer on beaches. Besides tending to the 3 bedroom B&B and its guests, also loves producing music, DJing, cooking, gardening, trekking, surfing, yoga, and meditation as well as building and doing everyday house maintenance. He's lived for many years in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Tulum, Bali, and Berlin and has traveled all over the world with his music and has organized group experiential trips by land and sea in Sardinia, Corsica, Kenya, and the United States. He recently moved back home to Italy to help his mother and bring forth the vision to create a home away from home — a place to welcome people from all over the world and create unique and life-moving experiences <3
