Come and enjoy the tranquil life in a typical Sicilian olive grove
The experience
We are looking for people interested in experiencing a more sustainable and slower lifestyle. The next available dates are in February, during pruning season. It is a unique opportunity to learn about the tradition of Sicilian olive cultivation from an Italo-Spanish family.
We plan to carry out bioconstruction work, pruning, and land clearing.
