Description
Ours is a ranch where we live with our quarter horses and our children, we are near the sea and from many naturalistic and historical beauties, as only in Sicily.
We usually get up early,especially in the summer, since it gets hot and doing chores becomes difficult. We have many animals besides the horses that depend on us for food, care, and so on; so, if you aren't the type to get up early and/or are squeamish about 💩, this experience is NOT for you. We do plenty of other things too—like cooking together, going to the beach, and heading out to festivals—but you must remain committed and attentive to the work that needs to be done.
We provide accommodation in a container unit with a private bathroom (sleeping two guests per room), a shared living area with a fully equipped kitchen, and an additional shared bathroom outside the unit. Two electric scooters and two bicycles are available for your use. We do not offer monetary compensation; instead, we exchange the stay for activities such as Western-style horseback riding lessons, traditional (and modern) Italian cooking classes, and hands-on experience making gelato, granita, preserves, pizza, focaccia, cookies, pastries, and much more.
il nostro è un ranch dove viviamo con i nostri cavalli quarter horse e con i nostri bambini, siamo a due passi dal mare e da tante bellezze naturalistiche e storiche , come solo in Sicilia.
Normalmente ci alziamo presto, specie d'estate perché fa caldo ed è difficile fare i lavori. abbiamo molti animali,oltre ai cavalli, che dipendono da noi per cibo,cura ecc.. quindi se siete persone che non voglio alzarsi presto e/o si imoressianano della 💩 questa esperienza NON fa per voi.. facciamo anche moltre altre cose come cucinare assieme,andare al mare,uscire assieme quando ci sono festival ecc... ma l'impegno e l'attenzione ai lavori da svolgere non deve mancare .
Diamo a disposizione l'alloggio, un container con bagno privato dove possiamo ospitare due ospiti per camera , una zona living comune con cucina completa e un bagno comune fuori dalla casetta. Diamo a disposizione due scooter elettrici e due biciclette.Non diamo rimborso spese ma scambiamo con lezioni di equitazione (monta americana),lezioni di cucina italiana della tradizione e non solo, produzione di gelato, granite, conserve,pizza,focaccia,biscotti,sfogliati...e tanto altro -
