    Description

    We are a Sardinian family living in a farm near the north-east coast of the island. We own a small Agriturismo for farm holidays and a sailing boat for 1 day tours to the islands near here. We produce olives and olive oil, fruit and honey and we breed dogs, only of the Basset Hound breed, currently we own 9, living at home with us, as they have their own rooms to sleep in. We also have a small amount of chickens and three beautiful cats. We would be happy to host volunteers who truly love animals, which is intereested in living for a long time in our land to learn about the traditions and wonderful places that Sardinia offers. We often travel for weeks or months sometimes, and in this case we will need a reliable "house and pet sitter" . We can also help you to learn perfect Italian.
