    Description

    I am Andre 30 years old Chef working in Dublin, years ago thanks by workaway project I discovered this amazing place called Acquaviva Bay and now I am managing this Glamping project with a friend of mine Helios.

    He probably will welcoming you or staying with us working as well because we are starting our project now but he is in charge for preparing documents, buying materials and stuff for building, me and probably my girlfriend in summer we are in charge of your managing and your well staying.

    At the moment it’s just an idea 💡to build platforms for tents, tree and cob houses in a private garden close to the sea at Acquaviva Bay .
    When our project will be ready we will be happy to tell to you.

    The tents, trees and cob houses itinerary should be in our mind every year in a different area in the world, like a nomad circus.
    These Glamping are not already made now it can be our a dream and for this reason I propose to my friend owner of the land in Apulia to do it in his land at the moment as a “trial one”.

    For this reason probably the help that is required to you at the moment like cleaning the area for old stuff like piece of old iron, bottles of beers and broken bricks ( that someone put in this abandoned area close to the sea )
    it’s a Job that only the Nature will take the benefit for sure. Regenerate the soil for the olives trees and permaculture instead is the benefit that we will received in our dishes.

    For that reason is required someone able to do gardening with us, build with wood or natural materials, make some synergic vegetable garden to provide food for the community, tidy up space to understand the real space where located or build our future structure.

    From October till December we harvest our olives tree for making olive oil.
    From January till June we make ricotta cheese.
    In summer excursions to the Grotto close to us.

    I hope you would love to help us !
