Description
We have an apartment in a village on the seaside.
We need help around the house for organizing stuff, cleaning, painting, working with wood and other shore around the house.
There is the possibility to go to the family farm to some fruit picking or grape harvesting and make wine, or olive picking and make olive oil, but this depends on the season.
The hours of help are flexible, we can organize together. There is the option to do 3 days a work and 3 days completely free, that you can use to explore the area or organize trips around the island.
The house is next to the seaside, just 100m from beach, many restaurants, market, pizzeria and bar in the area.
We are just 12km from Taormina and 30km from Messina, both very well connected by train.
We can offer accommodation, and you will have an apartment where you can stay, you have a kitchen to use, and you must provide for the food for yourself.
Most of the time we will ask 2-3 hours help per day or if you prefer do more and have some day off that is fine with us, you can organize your time as you like according to the task to do.
We offer the possibility to do 3 days helping and 3 days completely free.
When we will do a special project, we can require more hours per day but that is when we will provide food.
We can discuss everything and find the right balance and find best solution for everyone.
