Description
We are a 53 and 57 year old couple, we have a nice B&B in Apulia in a very interesting area. The B&B is only open from springtime to autumn, so when we open there are a lot of things to do, such as cleaning and gardening, also sometimes painting and other outdoor work. We have hired staff who you will be working with so you won't be left alone for long.

We would like a help only for up to 5 hours a the day and we offer a single room with ensuite, plus three delicious Italian meals a day, from March - July. Please tell us if you have any food allergies, intolerances or preferences.

We speak English, Italian, Spanish and French so all nationalities are welcome! We can also lend you an electric bicycle to go to town (only 1km) or visit the other towns close to us. We also have a beautiful, well looked after pool that you are more than welcome to swim in. We have two house cats and one dog.

We are sorry but we can not accept couples as the room we have available is for a single use only.

I hope you are interested, if you need more info please write to me or call me! Paola and Sandro

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak English, Italian, French and Spanish, I can teach you to do wonderful cakes. We are also tango dancers so maybe they can learn some tango steps.
Help
We wake up around 7am, work throughout the morning until all jobs are complete, and the afternoon is free for you to do what you like. Along with the electric bike, we are happy to provide recommendations on sights and places to see!

Jobs that need doing in the morning include setting up and packing down breakfast for the B&B guests, helping cook breakfast, cleaning rooms (folding towels, making beds etc.) and some other gardening jobs to keep our property clean and tidy.

What else ...
It's easy to reach us, because the train station is only 1km from our B&B and by train you can easily reach Bari airport where Ryanair connects all of Europe. If you arrive to Bari and we are available during that time, we are happy to pick you up from the airport.

I was an absolutely lovely experience to stay with Paola and Sandro. They treated me like family from the first minute, until the last second!

Staying with Paola and Sandro was such a positive experience that I’ve been there three times now, a month each time. They are generous hardworking people and it’s been a pleasure to be involved with their project - a superb B&B in the beautiful Valley of Itria in Puglia.

The workload was fair and the work I did was varied, but included helping… read more

I would like to thank Paola and Sandro for everything that they have done it for me while I was there. They are one of the most generous persons I've ever met. I will miss them and their family.

I felt at home in their place. The workaway experience was better than I expected. I've enjoyed every second of my time there.

The B&B is very… read more

Loved my experience with Paola, Sandro and their family!

When arriving in Noci I was well looked after with Paola’s delicious cooking, clearly directed in the morning as to the tasks required, and provided with heaps of recommendations on ways to spend my free time. Paola and Sandro are a couple of the kindest, most generous people I’ve had the… read more
