    Description

    Hi everyone,
    My name's Anna and I live in Mondello a small village near the main seaside area of Palermo and 10 minutes by car from Palermo, there are also a couple of buses going to the city centre in, more or less, 30 minutes.
    I would be happy to give hospitality to help me with my little, old dog, my cat but especially with my house (cleaning, plant watering etc.) I am an English and Italian teacher and lived in UK for many years. Well, looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    I live on my own and I have to take care of my two pets so it's a bit complicated when I need to stay the whole day out.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My house is near the seaside (15m walking) and it is a very touristic place. You will learn a lot about the historical and cultural aspects of Sicily and in particular of Palermo. I will be happy to take you around to visit the main attractions.

    I would need help with my two pets, my dog is very old but still able to go out for his regular walks, his name is Pongo and my cat's name is Luna, she's lovely very sweet and affectionate. I would also need help with my house to keep it clean and tidy as I am going to finish its renovation. I'd also like to have a reliable and trustworthy person who stays in my house petsitting during my one week holiday in August

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    they are going to have their own room and nearly a shared bathroom, but in the house there are two bathrooms so we need just to get organised which of the two we will be using them. A quite big living room with a kitchen is available for both of us. What I do not really like is having frying food! I do not generally like to have bad smelling in the house, like garlic or fish smelling.

    Hosts can have their own room to sleep and also the rest of the house to enjoy with a nice terrace to chill out or even work, unfortunately I do not have a proper studio or desk, but just a table in the kitchen. As I will be working in the morning, the kitchen table will be available up to 1/1:30 pm
