  Description

  I live close to the sea in a little family house with my two little pets and I need some help with the house. We can organise your stay according with your needs and the needs of the house so the daily organisation will be flexible. It is also possible to establish before a progect to do according with your skills so that you will choose how to do it and at what time. In this moment I mostly need help with works as masonry, joinery, painting, tiling, blacksmith and general restoration done by experienced people.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our area is beautiful between the woods and the sea. There are lots of paths for going walking. You could perhaps also visit Palermo city (10km), Monreale (20km), and Cefalu (40 km): I might be able to take you there if we're going or you could go by public transport. I'd also like to take the Workawayers to events or some beautiful places in the area.
  
  There is Wifi and tv in the room.
  
  Sometimes I like to do some good dinner in the terrace. I will give you all the informations you need to discover the most beautiful places in Palermo and Sicily.
  
  Palermo is a wonderful city for those who love art, architecture but also nature.

  Help

  I'm looking for different positions because there are different possibilities of helping me, as I'm remodelling my family house in Palermo in a beautiful area close to the sea. I'm looking for travellers that can do any of the tasks listed below without guidance but I'm specially looking for people who can help to restore some things in the house.
  
  I would ask 3/4 hours of help a day for accommodation breakfast and dinner in a flat with your own kitchenette, bathroom and terrace, in the house and close to the sea and Palermo's city centre is at just 15 minutes by bus and the sea in just crossing the road and the Mondello beach is 10 mn walking from our home.
  
  I'm a translator (I speak and I teach Italian, French, Spanish and English). I also have 2 adorable dogs cavalier king Charles spaniel so I will be happy to have dog lovers so they can take them for a walk in the woods close to the house sometimes.
  
  In the house there are the normal domestic chores to be done e.g. preparing meals, washing up, washing, ironing and cleaning. But I mostly need help to repair and restore the house.
