We live in Nerja on the Costa del Sol in a row house with 3 small dogs. In the countryside nearby (about 12 km away), our horses (2 belong to us and our two friends, on whose land the horses are / there are 3 large dogs). Nerja is situated on the Mediterranean and is a typical Spanish village. The sea is within walking distance from us in about 20 minutes. Probably there are not daily work for 5 hours, but we want to share our favorite home with others. We are very free and hope the same of the helpers. One should have good riding skills and the driving license. Wir leben in Nerja an der Costa del Sol in einem Reihenhaus mit 3 kleinen Hunden. Auf dem Land in der Nähe (ca. 12 km entfernt) stehen unsere Pferde ( 2 gehören uns und 2 unseren Freunden, auf deren Grundstück die Pferde stehen/dort gibt es 3 grosse Hunde). Nerja liegt am Mittelmeer und ist ein typisches spanisches Dorf. Das Meer ist von uns zu Fuss in etwa 20 Minuten zu erreichen. Wahrscheinlich gibt es nicht täglich Arbeit für 5 Stunden, aber wir wollen gern unsere Lieblingsheimat mit anderen teilen. Wir sind sehr frei und locker und hoffen dies auch von den Helfern. Eine Voraussetzung sind gute Reitkenntnisse und der Führerschein.

Région: Lower Normandy

We are a Kiwi family living in historic Normandy, renovating our amazing 400+ year old farmhouse whilst perfecting our French and generally immersing ourselves in French life. We are returning the house to it's traditional majestic beauty by reinstating the thatched roof and exposing it's stone and oak features, whilst at the same time adding modern twists of glass, metal and bold colour, and the occasional 'kiwi twist'. We are a couple who have travelled and worked in many different countries and enjoy learning about different cultures. Here in France, we have a simple but good life enjoying the outdoors in our pool, jacuzzi, trampoline, kids play area, etc. We are in the countryside just outside an active village, our 6 year old son goes to the local school (a 3.5km cycle to the center of town), we're close to all the historic D-day sites, actually on the D-day 'route-de-libertie', the evocative Abbaye d'Hambye is 5 mins away, it's 40 mins to the famous Le Mont St Michel, and we have easy access to port and airport connections to the UK etc. We're in the midst of an extenstive ecological project to rethatch and insulate our chaumiere. This involves many preparatory phases such as paving and decking terrassing and drainage, exterior insulation, lime repointing and double glazing. Additionally we are in the midst of many other projects - the construction of oak spiral stairs and mezzanine extension; instillation of wooden kitchen worktops and repair of 300 yr old oak flooring; planting of a New Zealand garden; and several craft projects such as the polynesian/celtic inspired carved facing boards for the new thatch roof (a great project for anyone with a passion for wood carving / wood carver). We use natural traditional products where ever possible and have a simple organic vegetable garden and we are looking for enthusiastic generally capable people who would enjoy helping us in exchange for access to this fantastic part of France. We are of course happy to assist those wishing to improve their French and/or cultural understanding of France and assist you with access to tourist sights where we can.
