Descripción
I am finishing to renovate the beautiful house in which I live and work, and need your help and your (good) taste to improve the place.
Although there is a cleaner I also need regular help in the house, for going to the fresh food market, help in the kitchen (I cook a lot) helping with a room i rent, and other usual tasks.
The house is right on the sea and situated in the most attractive part of the island of Ortigia in Siracusa.
There is a beach from which you can swim literally downstairs.

I am a French software developer, and have offices in the same building.

You will get a double bedroom with its own bathroom.

As it is also about living together, I will want to talk to you through phone, Skype, or WhatsApp (not just messaging, but proper talk) before accepting or not your request. I can speak Italian, English, French and a bit of Spanish. So if you have no way to be reached, or are not able to communicate in any of these languages, don't loose your time.

The sea and a small beach are at our feet. In an half-hour break and you can have a swim, dry in the sun and eat a marvellous almond granite.
I have ben told the cooking and the life in the house are quite enjoyable...

Our stay at Thomases house was awesome. We stayed one and a half month. He is easy going, relaxed and generous. We got lucky to have found him for our first workaway experience. He made things really easy for us. He really apreciattes food so we could share a lot of that! The job is just what it says. The house is beautiful and the location… read more

It was absolutely great to have Antoine around: easy-going, educated, hard worker, great cook!
His company was always a pleasure, and his commitment was evident.
I would definitely recommend him to other hosts.

It was such a pleasure to have Maria Eugenia around for the whole summer!
Hard-working, reliable, and autonomous, she speaks perfect English and Italian (and Spanish of course), and she's also independent, curious, cultured, very positive and fun.

I can only recommend her :)

My stay with Thomas was incredible. If you're good at taking responsibility of your tasks, you will definitely enjoy your workaway experience. I felt very welcome in the vibrant house and it's easy to feel at home here. Your days will be filled with sunshine, music, people and great food. There's lots of flexibility to the tasks like going to the… read more

Thomas was a wonderful host. He saved my trip to Sicily since my initial workaway was not what I expected. The place is incredibly pretty, the work is easy (pretty much just keeping the house in order, see it as taking care of your own place; groceries, keep the kitchen clean, take out the trash, water the plants, etc. + cleaning a rental room).… read more

Maya was having a bad experience with a workaway host when she came, and I must say she saved us: she got at pace with the work to do very quickly, and was very nice all along her 3 weeks stay. I would definitely recommend !

Marine was certainly one the most efficient person I got so far, the house has never been as clean as when she was here, and she was always available when needed. She's smart and doesn't need directions, she makes good decisions on her own.
Unfortunately for her I was also living in the house, and after a while she started to make it clear it was… read more

My stay was clearly nuanced. First the city is beautiful, Ortigia is a little paradise. Thomas's house is amazing with sea views and a breathtaking roof top. The work is easy and enjoyable and the inhabitants of the islands are adorable. However I shortened my Workaway because of disagreement with Thomas. This kind of thing happened sometimes,… read more

This was my first workaway and it has been a great experience to stay with Thomas in beautiful Ortigia. The island is breathtaking and until my last day I have been amazed by the view from the balcony. I stayed 5 weeks and had a fantastic time.

Je suis restée peu de temps chez Thomas, une dix-quinzaine de jours, mais le temps passé avec lui était parfait :) j’ai pu partager de supers moments avec Julian, un autre workaway, des hôtes couchsurfing et tous ses amis musiciens!

I already knew some relative of Julian, and he has been in my house during 5 month when he arrived in Europe, managing the rental room, general maintenance of the place, decoration, and so much more.

Beatrice has been very dedicated to her work here and made an amazing job as a graphic designer. She has built the visual identity we really wanted. Although it was a universe/market she didn't have a clue about before coming here, she understood it fully, and delivered exactly the kind of work we were expecting.

And over that she is a real… read more

Stay with Thomas was one of my best experience.
As soon as I' ve arrived I felt in love with Ortigia, the old city is a small paradise mixed between art, food, music and amazing people. With Thomas I built a really good relation, happy to say that he' s my friend now.
He' s a great chef and an hard worker, but he knows how to enjoy in the free… read more

It was a nice time staying with Thomas in his spacious and cozy apartment! I did some small work around the house, for instance cutting a shoe storage that it suits in his wardrobe.

First of all, thank you Thomas! I had a very beautiful image in my mind of how my experience in Siracusa would be, and you completely made it so much better than expected.

Though I only was here a week I had a fantastic time. Though it was work, I really felt like I was on some top notch luxury vacation. Ortigia really is a wonderful city and I had a great deal of fun with Benjamin. This place really is highly recommendable.

When Carina and Vinicius arrived we all got food-poisoned from the first lunch I made (I have nice pictures with our three faces redder than lobster!). Then work has been a bit messy just because at the time I was greatly disorganized.
But in the end It was such a pleasure to share life with them that it was a beautiful experience.

Fue una excelente experiencia, la casa es soñada, Thomas es una gran persona y muy buen compañero, gran chef de comidas sofisticadas, sentarse con él a la mesa fue todos los días un agasajo y reconocimiento al trabajo. Lo que genera sentirnos muy cómodos y querer devolverle al máximo lo mejor de nosotros.

Benjamin was my first workawayer and he definitely made me want to renew the experience!

He's a great worker, with plenty of ideas, a kind of strong commitment to his tasks I wouldn't have expected, that makes him act with "professionalism" in everything he does.

But as it's also about sharing life, I must say he's more than all a great person:… read more

Thomas took me in as a last minute guest during a week-long period of time between two other Workaway experiences. Typically I prefer to stay with hosts for at least a month as it allows more time to get to know them and their environment, but I'm happy to have found a dear friend in Thomas in my short time shared with him.

As it would turn out,… read more
