Description
I have bought a beautiful house in the countryside of Ostuni and looking to make a wonderful retreat for couples. There is much to do such as sorting and chopping logs and gardening to create intimate spaces for people.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
Gardening
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Ostuni is called the "White City" but also locally known as "The Pearl". It has beautiful medieval streets and history. My land is typical of the countryside in the area - you will learn about working with the land, helping restore the old trullo, working with olive trees and how we run a country villa in Italy from water in the cistern to collecting wood for heat. Come and learn about life in Southern Italy.
Help
I need a helper to help with painting a trullo, painting a villa, helping the expert with tiling, gardening. Just another pair of hands urgently.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Italian: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
I am more than happy to help with English and I am learning Italian.
Accommodation
Initially I have a spare double bedroom but the idea is we finish the apartment bathroom downstairs and you will have your own bedroom/sitting room and ensuite shower with your own access. You will have a small induction hob and coffee machine but have access to the large kitchen above.
What else ...
As I live in the middle of the countryside, there are no buses so you will need your own transport but I am happy to drop you into town or at the local train station or coach stop. We are right in the middle of the Valle D'Itria with panoramic views and easy access to Ostuni, Cisternino and Ceglie Messapica. Lecce is a 40 minute drive and Polgnano in the other direction. I am happy to drop you off into Ostuni to catch buses or trains.
A little more information

Can host families
Can host digital nomads
I have good internet and 4G phone signal although I live in the country as I am high on a hill. I use my WIFI to work remotely and the apartment underneath has a separate WIFI service to itself when it is ready. Initially there is a double bedroom with a double bed so happy for a couple of people but would need to share a bed.
Space for parking camper vans
I have lots of space for you to park this near the house.

It depends. I have a small female dog so a male dog is fine - two females unfortunately often have issues.
