    Description

    Hello! My name is Sebastiano. I'm 36 years old and I moved from Milano two years ago to North Sardinia, in a house located in the countryside of Gallura Region. There is one hectare of land where I grow mainly potatoes, saffron and olive's trees, In the farm there are also some animals such as: sheeps, donkeys, rabbits, hens, one goat, two cats and one beautiful dog, named Bruno. Together with my neighbor I'm also in charge of a B&B and two self-catering houses. The nearest village is Luogosanto, 4 Km distant. I need somebody who would help me 3/4 hours/day in the general mainteinance of the farm, mainly from 7-10 a.m. or from 17-20 p.m (e.g. taking care of animals, watering plants, works in the vegetable garden. The workawayers will have their bedroom and the bathroom, the kitchen and the living room will be shared. If you wish to go to the beach, 15 Km distant, a car would be helpful! You can reach the farm by plane or by ferry (Olbia).

    The workawayers will have their bedroom and the bathroom, the kitchen and the living room will be shared. There is also an external shower available and a termic solar panel provide me the needed hot water. If you wish you can also bring your own tent to sleep outside in the garden, and appreciate the sky full of stars. The food will be offered by me and we will share the meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) if you wish. I'm not neither vegetarian nor vegan: keep it mind before applying.

    If you wish to go to the beach, 15 Km distant, a car would be helpful! The area around Chivoni is full of beatiful attractions such as the famous millenial wild olive trees, the well-known nuraghes and the monumental giant's tombs. There is also a public transport service, 2 Km distant, but the buses don't transit so often. For some specific needs I will be available to pick you up or to carry to the point
