Description
• Dear Work-Awayers :)
We are a 4 member family, Gemma - Beniamino and our 2 children Manfredi (8 years) and Ascanio ( 2 year) who lives in Sannicandro a Bari suburb area which is Apulia capital. We would like to share our beautiful home while we are away tavelling for holidays.
We have two dogs, 10 year old Pitt bull called Chico and an 14 year old Boston terrier called Priscilla. They are really sweet and don't have behavioural issue or any health problem.
We are looking for dog lovers who keep an eye on them and feed them. During summer, they love staying outside in the garden, and we let them staying wherever they prefer, even tough we make sure they sleep indoor during the night.
As regard the gardening part, we have a lawn and during your staying we need you to make sure that the grass is cut and the watering system works.
As said, we live in Bari suburb in a tipical olive grove country area, Bari downtown can be easily reached by a 30 minute bus ride. The closest beach area (Bari's beach) is 20 km away and lots of Apulian attractions such as Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Alberobello are reachable and not far away.. Sannicandro downtown has shops and grocery and is about 1,5 km away from the house. The closest bus stop is about 1 km away from home.
A means of transport is suggested if you want to go out and to visit Puglia. Anyway I'll let you find my bike that can be used for any need.
We are looking for some one or better someones who really wants to spend a summer in Apulia, enjoy their time here and meanwhile keep an eye on the house and our beloved pets.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Gemma Beniamino Manfredi and Ascanio
