Hi,
We are an Italian-Dutch family of mother and two daughters Marina, Delfina and Primula and 5 dogs.
We live in Tuscany all year long but we own a beautiful countryhouse in Scopello a tipical little Sicilian village near the seaside, we stay here a few months a year.
The house is situated in the middle of Nature with 360 degree view of sea and mountains around it, but still near the village and all the facilities you may need.
In the garden there's also a big fresh swimming pool!
Olive and Almond trees the main vegetation on one hectar of land,
There is always a lot to do and would love to have some help for various tasks such as Garden work, painting walls, building with wood, and during the month of October harvesting olives etc.
We would also love to exchange with people from around the world, having nice dinners with people playing music to fill the house with happiness,
We are a very creative family, me Marina i am a sculpor, painter and jewellery maker, Primula studies Illustration and Delfina loves Photography and painting mandala's,
in our free time we would love to share Art,
