Help gardening/maintenance on the lovely foothills of Etna Sicily

L'esperienza

Experience the charm of Sicily while helping with gardening and painting at our villa on the slopes of Etna. You'll have your own private room/bathroom, and the villa has stunning views of the sea, Taormina and the volcano. Enjoy the rich culture and history of the region in your free time, exploring UNESCO sites and local treasures. We're looking for someone detail-orientated and independent, as you'll occasionally have the villa to yourself.

Dettagli del programma

The requested tasks are not complicated but attention to detail is a must. Responsive communication is essential, including a willingness to check details and exchange photos to facilitate completing tasks. *** Please note that currently you would probably be on your own for some of the time***, though one of us will likely come for a few days. When that happens, some help with grocery shopping requested. When we aren’t at the villa, we provide a grocery allowance.
We are in regular contact to supervise the tasks when not there.
You would need to be self-sufficient and responsible, able to hold the fort. When not there, we can usually connect you with local friends. It might suit a couple wanting a more independent experience with flexible hours.
Having your own transport is a *huge* advantage, if not a driving license is essential. *Wifi is via mobile hotspot*. Good reception.
