Ciao! We are Erika and Andrea, both 32, living in the stunning countryside of Ostuni, Puglia. I'm a digital product designer, and Andrea is a film director. We share our home with Lola, the sweetest cat in the world, who will undoubtedly steal your heart.
Our home is nestled on a hill surrounded by olive groves, fruit trees, and endless blue skies, just 15 minutes from the sea. The area is known for its beautiful landscapes, whitewashed villages, and sunny weather nearly all year round, offering the perfect backdrop for a peaceful yet inspiring experience.
We speak Italian, English, and Spanish and are passionate about food. We love sharing our knowledge and teaching guests how to cook with fresh produce from our property, such as olive oil, fruits, and herbs. This is a chance to experience the essence of Apulian living—simple, delicious, and deeply connected to the land.
Our project is to renovate a traditional countryside guesthouse while preserving its authentic charm. We’re creating a warm, welcoming space where nature, creativity, and community come together. By joining us, you’ll not only help us bring new life to the property but also become part of a cultural exchange that celebrates collaboration and the beauty of everyday moments in this magical land.🌱🌞🍊🍋

Staying with us offers a unique chance to experience life in the heart of Puglia, surrounded by nature, local traditions, and warm community vibes. You’ll learn how to care for fruit trees, maintain a vegetable garden, and help with creative DIY projects as we restore and personalize our guesthouse together.
We’re open-minded and love sharing good music, local festivals, and the hidden gems of our area. Our passion for food means you’ll also get to explore Italian cuisine and learn how to prepare simple yet delicious dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients from the land.
Additionally, if you’re curious, we’re happy to share insights from our creative professions—design, photography, and film—but only if that’s something that interests you. Our focus is on creating a welcoming, inspiring space where you can connect with nature, culture, and new ideas.

Ayuda
We’re looking for enthusiastic, hands-on helpers to join us in our journey of transforming our countryside guesthouse into a welcoming, sustainable retreat. Tasks will include:
- Assisting with light DIY projects, such as painting, sanding, or assembling furniture—don’t worry, we’ll work on these tasks together and guide you every step of the way.
- Helping maintain the property, including tidying up outdoor spaces, caring for fruit trees, and tending to the vegetable garden.
- Contributing to the upkeep of the house, ensuring it remains a cozy and comfortable space for everyone.
No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn, a positive attitude, and a love for nature and creativity. If you enjoy working with your hands and want to be part of a meaningful project in a beautiful setting, we’d love to have you join us!

We offer a unique private bedroom carved into the rock, with a spacious double bed and an independent entrance. The room provides a cozy, rustic atmosphere, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of the landscape. The bathroom is shared with us.
For food, it’s up to the volunteer to arrange all their meals, but we can take care of lunch during the workdays :)
Algo más...
During your time off, there are plenty of activities to explore around our area. You can take a bike ride through the beautiful Ostuni countryside, visit nearby charming towns like Ceglie Messapica and Alberobello, or simply relax and enjoy the rural setting. We can also recommend local spots to try authentic Puglian cuisine. As we can provide a bike, transportation around our local area will be easy and convenient! This allows you to immerse yourself fully in the local culture and enjoy the serene beauty of the countryside.
