Description
We are a lively household of eight living in a spacious house in the heart of Nardò, a charming town in Salento, just a few kilometers from stunning beaches. Our family includes Dana and Lillino, husband and wife, both skilled artisans with expertise in construction and electrical work. We have a 17-year-old daughter in her final year of high school and a 23-year-old daughter attending university while also participating in civil service. Our furry companions include Zoe, a 12-year-old blonde dog lady who loves cuddles, Romeo, a spirited 3-year-old dog who plays the eternal puppy, and two shy cats: 9-year-old Cattiva, the true queen of the house, and another elusive feline who keeps to herself.
We offer a small private room, suitable for a single person or a couple, with a shared bathroom and kitchen. Our home also features a small garden for relaxation. Recently, we acquired a 700-square-meter plot of land about 3 km from our house, where we dream of creating a unique living space. Our vision includes building a fence, perhaps a pergola, and eventually transforming a boat into a cozy home. We’re not wealthy, but we love bringing small projects to life, ideally using reclaimed materials. With your skills and creativity, we’d love to collaborate to figure out what we need to make this dream a reality!

We’re looking for someone who enjoys building with recycled materials, bringing style and creativity to eco-friendly projects. We love music and often find ourselves in settings where live music is played. We value cooperation and frequently connect with local associations for cultural events, creating a lively and collaborative atmosphere.
