What You'll Do:
🧑🌾 Your main tasks will involve working in our olive grove (yes, you'll be surrounded by olive trees!), house maintenance, and minor chores like painting, cleaning, and organizing.
Your Comprehensive Experience Includes:
🏡 Home Away From Home: Enjoy a cozy private house for up to 4 volunteers, nestled amidst a serene olive grove, just a short walk from the charming village of Calatafimi Segesta! It's equipped with hot water, a kitchen, a fridge, and everything you need for a comfortable stay.
🌅 Magical Views: Relax in our barbecue area with spectacular sunset views overlooking the ancient Segesta theater. Unforgettable moments are guaranteed!
🍽️ Homemade Meals: We provide three delicious meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) so you'll always be energized.
🗣️ Global Connection: We speak English, Italian, and Spanish, so communication will be a breeze! We love to share stories and have fun with new people.
🏖️ Local Exploration: In your free time, if our family schedule permits (we have two young daughters aged 2 and 6 who keep us busy!), we'd be delighted to take you to the beach, the relaxing thermal baths, or other nearby sites of interest so you can discover more of Sicily's treasures.
📚 Hands-On Learning: A unique opportunity to learn about local heritage and actively contribute to its preservation.
🌍 Global Community: A collaborative and enriching environment with people from all over the world.
