  Description

  Hi all, we are Martina (originally from Germany) and Ali and have been rebuilding a small stone house in a beautiful little village in the National Park of Cilento, 5 km from the Mediterannean. The property around the house is 4000 m2 with 2 wells, a lot of olive trees, citrus/orange and fig trees as well as other fruit bearing trees.
  
  I am fluent in German and English and also speak some Italian, Ali speaks German, Turkish and a little bit of Italian. We are easy-going and passionate about nature and plants. Ali is a very experienced gardener and he is also a film maker.

  Hébergement

  Renovation of the house is complete. On ground floor there is a self-contained flat for workawayers with separate entrance, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
  During house sitting in winter the workawayer need to provide for himself.
  
  When we are present we would provide snack at lunch . Dinner could also be shared ( in that case we would expect workawayer to contribute a bit) or alternatively workawayer could also prepare his own dinner in his own kitchen.

  Autres infos...

  Only non-smokers please. It would be beneficial if workers have their own car / e-bike or small motor bike, as there is almost no public transport in the village. Just one bus runs to Agropolis in the morning and returns early afternoon. Sea is closeby (just 5 km), nearby are beautiful coastlines of Cilento with great beaches. Also Paestum with its ancient Greek temples, Velia and holiday resorts of St. Maria di Castellabate are very close. Also possible to do some hiking in the nearby hills of Monte Stella
