Join our family life in Nardò, southern Apulia, Italy
The experience
We are Fabio and Cécile, an Italian-German couple with a 12-year-old daughter, a 6-year-old son, a dog and a cat. Ten years ago we renovated an old farmhouse in Nardò, in the beautiful countryside of Apulia near the sea, to embrace self-sufficiency. We are looking for autonomous people to share our daily life among nature, the garden, and genuine food, in exchange for accommodation, warm hospitality, and an authentic experience in Salento!

Program Details
We would like to find autonomous people who want to share time with us and especially with our children.
For us it is important that they share our passion for nature and respect for resources!
One of the important things to know about our family is that our daily routine is closely linked to the sun:
we usually start very early and go to bed early.
In the summer the schedules change slightly, but in any case this type of activity requires physical effort...
Activities & Shift
Our offer will be interesting for those who love nature, children, animals, recycling, permaculture, slow food, land art, gardening and farming... For any questions or suggestions do not hesitate to contact us.
Rules
Respectful coexistence
