Description
Hello everyone, we are a young family that with a lot of commitment and dedication tries to carry on the dream of restoring the old spaces of a former small family farm of our grandparents. For years we have been dedicating ourselves to this in our small way and the intent for the near future will be to be able to create an agricamping. Here there are ponies, dogs, geese and chickens. We are in Salento, in the Boncore village, the hub of three provinces (Lecce, Brindisi and Taranto), just 1km from the beaches of Torre Lapillo. We are located in the heart of Salento, on the Ionian side, in a strategic point to visit the three cities but also the rest of the Salento area, rich in history and beaches and wonderful places. From us you can also reach the natural reserve of Porto Selvaggio a few kilometers away.
***** N.B. WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2 WORKAWAYS WHO CAN SPEAK WITH US FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER, TO HELP WITH WOOD AND COLLECTION OF THE VERY FEW OLIVES, NEW WINTER GARDEN BED*****
------------------------------------
Salve a tutti, siamo una giovane famiglia che con tanto impegno e dedizione cerca di portare avanti il sogno di ripristinare i vecchi spazi di un ex piccola masseria familiare dei nostri nonni. Da anni ci dedichiamo a questo nel nostro piccolo e l'intento per un prossimo futuro sara' quello di poter creare un agricampeggio.
Da noi sono presenti, pony, cani, oche e galline. Siamo in Salento, nel villaggio Boncore, fulcro di tre province (Lecce, Brindisi e Taranto), a solo 1km dalle spiagge di Torre Lapillo. Ci troviamo nel cuore del Salento, sul versante ionico, in un punto strategico per visitare le tre città ma anche tutto il resto dell’area salentina, ricca di storia e di spiagge e luoghi meravigliosi. Da noi si raggiunge a pochi km anche la riserva naturale di Porto Selvaggio.
***** N.B. RICERCHIAMO 2 WORKAWAY CHE POSSANO INTRATTENERSI CON NOI DA SETTEMBRE a NOVEMBRE, PER AIUTO LEGNA E RACCOLTA DELLE POCHISSIME OLIVE, NUOVE AIUOLE ORTO INVERNALE*****

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In addition to learning the Italian language (and the Salento one!) They will learn the typical cuisine of our land, how to take care of a natural garden and the art of getting by :) We don't speak English very well, but we are sure that in case of foreign guests we will find together the way to explain and understand each other.

Oltre ad imparare la lingua italiana (e quella salentina!) impareranno la cucina tipica della nostra terra, come curare un orto naturale e l'arte dell'arrangiarsi :)
Non parliamo molto bene inglese, ma siamo certi che in caso di ospiti stranieri troveremo insieme il modo per spiegarci e capirci.
