Program Details

Bonjour, Hello, Ciao,

After 16 years of corporate life behind a desk I took the opportunity to fly with my own wings. I'd like to shift completely life style so learning how to depend less of the global economy and create circular economy step by step.

And to "upgrade" the big house I bought in 2019 in South Sardinia with more sustainable equipment, (reuse of waste water, solar energy, organic garden...)

On middle season april, may june sept oct the house is mostly a B&B.
On high season july and august the house is mostly fully booked.

I believe than the richness reside in each individuals and all things are connected. what happen to us is results of our thoughts, choices and actions.

You can join me on a Biodanza class.

Activities & Shift

HELP REQUIRED
The help requirement follows the season.
- At the end of October and November prepare the house/garden for the winter
- Then December to March, general maintenance for the house and the garden.
- At the end of March/April we are preparing for the season (cleaning the garden, painting)

Helpers will have time to visit the beautifull sardinian Island as I suggest work patterns that allow free time.

please note : i live remotly. there is a bus about twice a day with a stop about 2 km from the house that reach the main city of Cagliairi (25 km away), closest beach is 11 km. do not expect to be driven. Not suitable for children. If you have an animal we need to make sure she/he's compatible with my little female dog.

Rules

Keep the place clean and in harmony
Be discreet if smoking
Must like dogs
People coming in pairs will have to share a double bed as not all rooms have 2 beds
Sometime when the house is full a tent will be offered in the garden ( very rare occasions)
We generate own alternative energy so be conscious about use of water and energy
