The Experience

I’m originally from north Italy and I go back to my family during Christmas and the month of January. I’d like someone to stay in my house and take care of my cats, clean the terraces, take care of the vegetables garden. We are on the Aeolian Islands on the north coast of Sicily.

I had an incredible experience at the home! Luca and his girlfriend are great people and my experience couldn't be better. The activities were as described and were light and not at all complicated. We had a few trips around the islands around Lipari which made it my even better experience! I learned about sustainability, nature and soil management. The island has a lot of activities to do! It was very worth it and I really recommend this experience in the home! Thank you so much for all Luca!! Grazie grazie!

Ohmigoodness!! This one of the best experiences of my life. Every day there was something new to learn and tackle. Lucca is INCREDIBLE! I learned so much from him, and he was the consummate host. This experience was better than anything I could've imagined, and I'm forever grateful for the experience. 😁

This was a truly great experience!! Luca was a wonderful host, and introduced me to so much about the geography and history of the islands. The work was really meaningful, preparing solutions to promote plant growth, pruning palm leaves to keep the trees in good condition, gathering fruit and making jams. And the island and apartments were far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. 100!+++++ :-)

Sicilia -> Isole Eolie -> Lipari -> the home sono bellissime! Luca is thoughtful and full of smiles ~ with lots of knowledge about the environment, cultivation, and the islands (and about cooking and baking and cleaning!) ~ all of which he likes to share. The experience was great, and it was a good mix between work and relaxing time to enjoy the surrounding beauty. It's nice to feel a part of the life there (he also has interesting and welcoming friends). Luca is devoted to his projects, which makes it motivating to work with him to help make the property as wonderful/fruitful as possible.
