updated april 2024

I am very open to peoples ideas and their opinions, our world is a better place when we get to know each other and leave a little sign in someone else's life.
Please understand that we dont make much work or money so i would ask to to send a deposit, you will get it back when you arrive, this stops some people who book and dont come

personally i am a human, who can make mistakes and get things wrong, i am mature in age and have the pleasure of one young person who has decided to make his home here, you are like humans, so mistakes and getting things wrong are ok. we all share and participate in many different projects

Franco is an amazing host who will help you with anything you may need during your experience, the location is great if you are looking to reconnect with the nature and have an original experience. You will meet many great people while working there and you will most likely learn a lot about nature and Sicily from this experience.

The experience was based on recycling, living in a natural way, without comfort or technology. We collected and peeled almonds and there was also some gardening and repairing work to do. Unfortunately there was a terrible water shortage and the host didn't told me before coming. I couldn't have basic hygiene, cool off or clean my clothes after working in the field under the sun for hours. Even with all the effort I did (including avoiding using the bathroom) he said I was wasting water and that's why I left earlier than planned. There wasn't laundry, internet, bikes and other things described.

your 2 day stay was wonderful for you, day 1 you turned up at 11.00 to have breakfast, then it was too hot for you so we done some work late afternoon, picking and cleaning almonds which was done in a shady place sitting down, chatting, keeping you phone handy, and in company of your boyfriend. you had a shower 2 times to cool off

day 2 market day so all the morning nothing done, afternoon same as day 1,

as i remeber when we first met i made sure like i do with every one that i told you the rules
no paper down the toilet, put lights out when not in structure, be careful with water because we have a drought.
washing clothes , other have done it, but i imagine you wanted a washing machine, toilet was there for you to use and i made sure it always had water and was kept clean
i ask why didnt your boy friend have all these complaints?

The place is very small but very beautiful... I recommend a few days , I stayed 2 weeks and it was just to long with nothing to do. The place has a pretty view and fracosi is nice but there are no jobs allocated and a lack of communication between . The locals also did not love the idea of tourists so beware .

Elli, when one has to say things which in my opinion are wrong then you should not say them, there was work but not to your ideals, all that was important was talking to your boyfriend, as for the locals, tourists are loved because there are interesting and bring new money........
