    Description

    My name is Davide, I am 39 years old, I am the father of a baby and I live in the countryside in Serranova in a house 10 km from the city of Brindisi surrounded by greenery and a few km from the sea. I live in this house which needs little maintenance help inside the apartment and outside the garden, to create a more welcoming and comfortable environment. I like to organize dinners with friends, cultivate a vegetable garden, take care of the greenery, meet new people, go for walks.

    I would like to host people to be able to share moments with different, interesting and pleasant people.

    - I welcome help with the arrangement of the garden (pruning grass, trees, hedges), the vegetable garden (sowing, arrangement, expansion), the countryside (pruning olive trees, olive harvest, planting new trees);
    - I need to paint inside and outside the house, fix the lighting, widen the fence of the external garden;
    - I need to keep the house tidy and clean;
    - I need to improve my English and Spanish through specific moments of conversation and study.

    So I try to welcome people with manual skills, flexible and sociable

    It depends on the season and the availability of space, but those interested in coming to share time can sleep in a tent, on a sofa bed or, if space is available, in a small equipped studio flat in front of the house.
    The costs of utilities and meals are at my expense.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The house is located in the countryside ten km from the city of Brindisi, which can only be reached by own means, and is closer to the villages of Serranova and San Vito dei Normanni, which can also be reached by bicycle, as well as being close to the marine nature reserve of Torre Guaceto and some very beautiful beaches, also reachable by bicycle. I am often away for work but I have the possibility to organize myself from time to time to accompany guests to the city and spend time with them and with my friends at least once a week. The house comes with two freely usable bicycles.
