Grottole is a tiny, beautiful town in southern Italy with approximately . This summer, Airbnb is sending four people to temporarily increase that number and learn how to cook and live like a true Italian in the process.
Airbnb's basically sounds like a dream come true. If selected, you'll get to live in Italy from June to August, stay in a home in the center of Grottole and immerse yourself in the local culture by taking language and cooking classes with locals. Make pasta with Rosa, grow local produce with Andrea and explore the beehives with Rocco, a hair stylist/beekeeper/saffron producer. All expenses paid!
You'll also volunteer for a local nonprofit called Wonder Grottole, whose mission is to revitalize the town's historical center. A month into the trip, the lucky four will become cohosts on Airbnb; your job will be to welcome guests to their room in the local community center or into a traditional home in the center of the village and show them around town.
In your free time, you can explore the town's castle (which dates back to the 10th century); hang out at Grottole's popular café, Bar Zolletta; or check out the wine cellars, where many local families still produce their own wine.
To apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, before Feb. 17, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. Central European Time (that's 5:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time).
