Description
Hello!
I'm currently looking for someone who can take responsibity for the maintenance of the house and garden. There will also be a project where we create a center for welcoming travelers passing through. We are looking for someone who wants to grow plants and vegetables in the garden. We are also looking for a mason who knows how to work stone and cement.
We have a lot of beautiful fruit and olive trees! The grass needs cutting, and the swimming pool needs maintenance. A family of cute cats are keeping us company in the garden.
We are located in Santa Teresa di Riva, where there is a beautiful waterfront promenade and also a stone beach. In town there are also various kind of shops. Welcome!

Ciao!
Attualmente sto cercando qualcuno che si occupi della manutenzione della casa e del giardino. Ci sarà anche un progetto in cui creeremo un centro di accoglienza per i viaggiatori di passaggio. Cerchiamo qualcuno che voglia coltivare piante e ortaggi nel giardino. Stiamo anche cercando un muratore che sappia lavorare la pietra e il cemento.
Abbiamo tanti bellissimi alberi da frutto e ulivi! L'erba va tagliata e la piscina ha bisogno di manutenzione. Una famiglia di simpatici gatti ci fa compagnia in giardino.
Siamo a Santa Teresa di Riva, dove c'è un bel lungomare e una spiaggia di ghiaia. In paese ci sono anche negozi di vario genere. Benvenuti!

Accommodation
You will stay in a comfortable bedroom near the bathroom with independent entrance. Inside the house there is always something to eat. I cook every day in the evening but you are always free to prepare something for yourself during the day.
Come primo passo alloggerai nella cameretta comoda vicino il bagno con ingresso indipendente. Dentro casa qualcosa da mangiare c'è sempre io cucino sopratutto la sera ma la cucina è aperta sempre.

We are 2 steps from the sea you can do any sport, in front of the house there is a gym where you can use the entrance as a guest, an hour's drive away you can reach the ETNA volcano where there are endless woods. There is a world of beauty to discover!
