  Description

  Hello hello,
  
  My name is Zsuzsa, I’m from Hungary, and my husband is from England. We have two wonderful boys, 8 and 5.5 years old. At home, we speak English and Hungarian, but the boys also speak excellent Spanish and Catalan.
  
  We live in a beautiful countryside house about 2 km away from the village called Alaro.
  We love the vibe of the village, it is very international but at the same time also very traditional.
  Our neighborhood is serene, nestled at the foot of the Tramantuna Mountains.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  When we have some free time, we love to hang out with our friends, go for a hike, take a bike ride, or just chill out at the beach for a day. During the summer, there are so many fun activities happening on the island, and even in our little village, there's always something exciting going on that we love to be part of. Among the four of us, we speak four different languages, and we're always happy to share our own traditions with others. Plus, we're really eager to learn about different cultures and traditions too!

  Help

  We're searching for someone who is warm, friendly, and loves being around kids. Our children are big fans of football and swimming, and they'd love to have someone who can join in the fun. We need help in the mornings getting the kids to their summer camps in the village, which is just a short 10-minute drive away (we have a VW Polo), and occasionally picking them up in the afternoons. It would be great to find someone who enjoys cooking and gardening, especially watering the plants and mowing the lawn, as we might need a hand in the kitchen and garden from time to time.

  Accommodation

  Our home has the charm of a traditional Spanish finca from the outside, while being bright, clean, and modern inside. We're happy to offer a cozy bedroom with a double bed, AC, and lots of storage. The bathroom is shared with the kids only.
  
  We love to cook daily, and we aim to follow a healthy diet with minimal processed food. We don’t have any allergies, and we enjoy a balanced diet with moderate amounts of meat and fish, lots of veggies, and fruits.

  What else ...

  Our home is situated just 2 km from the village. We're happy to lend you a bike to get to the village, where you can catch a mini-bus to the train station, or you can take a scenic bike ride to the train station (6 km). If you're feeling adventurous, you can explore the island using public transport. There are plenty of beautiful beaches and hiking trails to discover here.
  
  We kindly ask that our guests refrain from smoking or drinking excessively. Our home is a peaceful retreat, perfect for those who want to relax, connect with nature, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We're not a party house, so our ideal guest would be someone who is sporty and has a calm and easy-going attitude.
  
  Please only apply if you have a driving license and you are a confident driver (Ideally 25 plus years old due to the insurance policy)
