Description
A lovely spot to experience in a comfy tiny house in the middle of olive trees. The nature here is amazing, the sea just few minutes away (by car - ideally you bring your own one) and the beauty of the region quite unique. The ‘mission’ includes basic gardening, animal sitting, and sometimes (when I’m not there) taking over the guests arriving when the main house is rented out.
Ideally longer term travelers but opened to everything. someone trustful, reliable and who loves the idea of living a bit off the grid (but in a comfy way and in a safe spot).
Obviously open also for couples. Love for nature and a good vibe with animals are the only tool you need :)
Warmest!
Charlie

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The place is on the countryside near Scicli, a truly beautiful area. The neighbours children bring much life to the place, and we're lucky to be surrounded by mostly genuine, simple and adorable people from the countryside.
Help
I’d be happy about different type of helps, but the first mission now would be helping with creating a covered structure for a bigger compost place and gardening.

There's one house which is 'finished' (still some external stuff and work to do.. but definitely finished inside). The room we can offer has a double bed, is cosy and charming. The second house still is getting renovated step by step but we have a beautiful independent tiny house where we welcome friends and travelers.
It is clean and comfy, with a bath tube and all you need; nature orientated it offers the experience of a simple and ecological lifestyle (dry toilets which are clean) and lots of space and nature around you.
During the periods of housesitting (when we are not there) and dog sitting, the house is yours. This means we offer the spot and pay the bills (internet and electricity etc) but you will have to manage your own food. You get fresh eggs every day from our coolest chicken. Of course what grows in the garden is all yours, but depending the periods this means there will sometimes be a LOT which grows, and sometimes little.What else ...
We don't follow stict rules, and therefore we think the best is always to let each one bring and share what he/she wants, and let things come as they'll come. On the principle we simply like the idea of sharing our lovely place and offering one of the room in return of some help (or the whole house during our absence if you watch and take good care of our dog). We imagine for exemple that 3 hours of help per day would be fair in exchange of lots of free time and a magical place for you.

Charlie's home is a beautiful place to stay. The work was fun and easy. Charlie is a kind person, you can have a nice chat with at dinner or over a glass of wine. The neighbours kids are lovely and it was fun spending a lot of time with them.… read more
