Description
Hi I´m Diogo, I start my own project in Apulia.
I live in a fishing village on the seafront with many closed or abandoned houses, I`m currently renovating some of them, making the place charming. The place is fantastic surrounded by nature on the sand in front of the sea with amazing beautiful sunsets.
During my free time, I like to climing, hiking, meditating, biking, yoga, surfing and spending time in the nature(Forest, dunes...
Wild camping in the national park, wild beaches, and swimming in waterfalls. In winter I like hot springs.
Seeking a minimalist, sustainable lifestyle.
Life in Apulia is relatively slow-paced, ideal for those who value tranquility and rest. -

Help
During the winter:
Creating pieces from marine debris (handcraft)
House maintenance
Collecting pine cones in the pine forest
Teamwork is best in winter; time moves very slowly, and we organize many activities together. Weather conditions are very unstable (a mix of beautiful sunny days and storms).
During the summer:
Cooking, computer tasks, winter planning...
Summer has very long days with beautiful sunsets. In Apulia, temperatures never exceed 30ºC, which is quite pleasant. -

Accommodation

I have no words to describe how much Olesia contributed positively to our project. Her positive energy and easy going in relating to all team members made us create an excellent team and share good moments.
Her craft and kitchen skills were a big plus.
I would definitely recommend Olesia and would love to … read more

It's hard to start this text somewhere. It was such a good experience for me in Apulia in those few weeks I stayed. I feel we had the perfect team in place, each with their own characteristics (and preferences for furniture position 🤣), but matching so well together! Thank you, Diogo, Olesia, Juliana, and … read more
It was a pleasure to have Hugo with us.
I stayed with him for four days and helped him paint some walls by the ocean.
The views there are infinite and the ocean leaves you breathless.
