Description
Hi there, we live in a beautiful farm house in Ragusa province. We are located just a few kms from the sea and we are immersed in the uncontaminated Ragusa countryside landscape. We run a small bed and breakfast which offers tranquility and beauty to our guests. Workawayers are not involved in work linked to the b&b as we have our cleaner for that. You would be more involved in the general maintenance of the house, help with the garden and Veggie patch as well as work in the farm helping with picking up olives, carrubs, wood or other depending on the time of the year.
We offer an authentic experience with a Sicilian family!
