L'acqua che non c'era

Hi, we are a family that lives in the south of Italy in the beautiful region of Puglia; in the countryside but not too far from the sea.
We have a family-run business in the Cisternino countryside, with holiday homes for tourists, riding stables and recreational activities.
Looking for a person who can help in various activities; really interested in the life of the campaign and learning different tasks such as:
carpentry, wrought iron, construction, painting, maintenance of the garden and agriculture, but also request for help in the relationship and management of tourists who stay with us.
Excellent opportunity for those looking for complete experiences in the field of crafts and tourism and in the relationship with nature and animals.
Having 4 children already, we only look for completely independent and flexible people.
Musicians and artists in general are welcome (Juan the owner is also a musician).

There is a chance to learn how to work wood and iron and many other things.
It's a great opportunity to learn a job.
At this time we need help with the Help 4 or 5 hours a day, tending to mornings, in the garden, construction and various things, with one day off a week. We start very early to avoid hot hours. I need a person to create a geodesic dome with seats and structure of mixed materials, earth, straw, cement, wood and bottles.

Prefer stays approximately 2 or 3 weeks.
couples or singles are welcome, if musicians even better.
Keeping one's space clean and tidy, finding harmony with other volunteers.
In our area, wifi and internet are very precarious. therefore we cannot guarantee the service.
when it is there, it is there and when it is not there, it is not there. OK??
If internet access is essential for you for work, I recommend you bring your phone with the necessary subscription.
If, however, you are a web addict and can't live without it, this is not the place for you.
Here, when we work, we don't use the phone. I think that in a wonderful place like this, with so much to see and do, internet connection can take second place.
Only people really interested

I like to work in a group but I need volunteers who can also work independently at times. I have 4 children who demand a lot of my time, I have to cook for all of them and take care of tourists, so very often the volunteers will have to do their tasks independently.
I am flexible in terms of schedule, being able to divide the day in two.

My experience at Riposo del Vento was different from what I expected after 10 experiences (WP / WA). Juan was kind and helpful, and I had freedom to explore. However, some work rules arose during my stay, causing misunderstandings. The work is mainly outdoors under the sun. I also suffered a lot of bites (probably bed bugs), causing discomfort. I felt little integration into family life and was uncomfortable asking for some things. It may suit someone seeking independence, but it wasn't a good fit for me. I recommend rent a car: public transport is limited and bus stop is about 4 km away.

It was a very pleasant experience, throughout I felt a genuine interest in my well-being and my comfort, all the members of the family were very friendly, they opened the doors of their home for me in such a way that I always felt included. The tasks were varied and the working times were respected. I carry with me a thousand smiles, the memory of wonderful music and the warmth of a spectacular family.

Getting to know Juan, his family, and his house was my favourite part of Italy. He is truly an inspiring person, a friend, a mentor, a great guitar player, full of skills and willingness to teach. I did so many different fulfilling tasks — taking care of horses, trimming and caring for olive trees, cooking, and so much more. He taught me so much about the culture, cuisine, and how to live a life that I could be proud of. This was my first experience, and I wouldn't change a thing. It felt like a home away from home. The work is simple, organized, and the hours were always respected. Thank you!
