  • Description

    Description

    I lived in Paris from 1999 and worked in the HORECA industry (Hospitality, Restaurants, Cafés) in France, the United States, the Netherlands, and Southeast Asia. After 21 years of adventures around the world, I returned to my hometown, where I stay from March to November. I have restored and renovated my family home on 8,000 square meters of land with about 80 olive trees and other fruit trees. I am dedicated to caring for and preserving this piece of land located in a wonderful part of Puglia.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Located near Maruggio in the province of Taranto in the Puglia region, this countryside property is just 1.8 km from the beach and boasts olive groves and stunning views. The region is known for its coastline, the longest in Italy, its historic villages, and its olive oil production. There is so much to see and do! This region is easy to find inspiration for any creative. Plus, the perfect opportunity to practice your Italian ;)From my side, I can share my knowledge of cooking, teach you how to repair everyday items as I've become a DIY and gardening expert, or tell you a bit about the history of this region.

    Help

    I spend my days gardening, tending the trees and harvesting olives, capers, tomatoes, figs, depending on the season, and at the same time I make provisions for the winter without having to be dependent on the supermarket. I also carry out small maintenance work by myself, and I always have fun tinkering with inventions :) that's my day if you want to give me a hand, you are welcome

    Accommodation

    during the summer period, the accommodation can change depending on demand, because I also rent the rooms, and in the case of both. are occupied, you will sleep in a tent outside (services and showers are also located outside) . Guests are asked to keep their room and the common areas clean and tidy.
