    *** OLIVE HARVEST SEASON ***

    We are exceptionally looking for a couple! Olive harvest season is about to start, so don't hesitate to contact us if you're interested in learning more about how our precious olive oil is made!


    ----


    Hi! This is Alia and Dario, we are a couple living in a wonderful seaview rural family house. We have a big garden with fruits and vegetables, olive trees, vineyard and chickens in beautiful Ventimiglia, Italy.

    Help is needed especially outdoor. Dario needs help with the land: planting, watering, gardening in general. I (Alia) would like to really clean and declutter the house, getting rid of old stuff (there's a lot!) and renovate, clean and (why not?) decorate the small chicken coop together. Creating an organized and nice space to live in is my main focus.

    In exchange for your help, you will have a private room with seaview, shared bathroom and shared meals from Monday to Friday. There are many beautiful spots to visit in your free time (we usually work around 5 hours per day, 5 days per week), either in the seaside or in the mountains, and many ancient villages.

    We mainly eat vegetarian and traditional Italian/Ligurian.

    You can learn and practise Italian, Dario's mum will be happy to teach you make homemade pasta, ravioli and other Italian specialties, I can teach you crochet from the basics to advanced tridimensional techniques... you will have a lot of new places to explore in nature (the woods 5 minutes walking from the house, the beach 10 minutes walking from the house). We sometimes go to local markets with live traditional music and dances together
