Work Exchange Opportunity in a Beautiful Coastal Property!
We are a family of four (two adults born in 1967, one girl born in 2001, and one boy born in 2006). We are both teachers and live in a three-story home by the sea. We also own two beautiful villas with pools in the countryside, just 350 meters from the beach, surrounded by 25,000 sqm of land.
Our apartments and villas are usually rented weekly, year-round, to guests from all over Europe and world. Now, we are excited to try something new: a barter exchange. Help us with some small tasks, and we will provide you with comfortable hospitality.

You’ll stay in one of our fully furnished apartments with:
A stunning sea view, just 40 meters from the sandy beach.
or
one of a stunning accommodation in the country seaside in Lido di Noto
Electricity, gas, water, linens, towels, air conditioning or heating, and free Wi-Fi.
Access to bikes for exploring the area.
While we can’t promise meals, you’ll have the chance to taste our homemade wine and products from our land, including many tropicals fruits, lemons, almonds, olive oil and vegetable garden

In exchange, we need help with:
House maintenance (painting gates, fences, walls, and woodwork).
Maintenance of dry stone walls on our property.
Gardening tasks, such as cutting wood or harvesting lemons from our lemon farm.
