Villa an der Cote D'Azur, Südfrankreich
Beschreibung
We are a British couple ( three grown up chidlren) who live 6 months in France and 6 months in California. Our place in France is in the heart of an absolutely beautiful medieval village approx 4 kms from the Medierranean. We bought the house 3 years ago and we have been renovating the grounds which contain a large old established garden which was very neglected when we bought it. There is always a lot of work to do in the garden and we need help from volunteers with some experience of gardening. There are many lovely beaches within a few kms for swimming and sunbathing. We are currently signing up volunteers searching for a working holiday ( 2-4 weeks) on the Cote D'

During the rest of the year, we are interested in volunteers who can stay at least two weeks. Please bear in mind, that we do not provide meals - you will get good quality self catering accommodation and you will need to show us that you have your own health and accident insurance.

Rosie and Greg contacted us in January wanting to come to the south of France help in April and May. We arranged their visit at the time that suited them best and agreed to have their dog too. They asked to come earlier than had been arranged. Our manager went out of his way to get the accommodaiton for them with their own personal more
We planned to stay only a month and a half, but loved the place and the people so much that we ended up staying for 4.5 months! The work is always physical, sometimes pretty hard, but everyday theres somethign new to do which keeps it fun. Food is not included since you only work 4 hours a day, but the garden flat is great. It has an unobstructed more
Brittany and jeff were a hard act to follow. We were very lucky that they stayed with us for more than 4 months during 2011 and made very valuable contribution to the restoration of our garden . They were excellent guests, unfailingly helpful, truly conscientious and always cheerful and charming.
We spent two wonderful weeks on Mic and Nicky's beautiful property. The workload is very fair - 20 hours a week, and the accomodation is amazing. Shops and the beach are a walking distance away, or a short bus ride if you'd prefer. Those who we worked with were all as friendly and helpful as you could ask for. All of this made for an amazing more
Elan was an enthusiastic, conscientious worker who paid good attention to details. She was willing to work at a wide range of tasks including garden maintenance, painting, and cleaning and what god company. She was It was a I highly recommend her. Come and see us again Elan
What a pleasure to have Anthony and Jemma stay for a month at our place in Bormes Les Mimosa. Both of them proved to be hard-workers who tackled a range of simple to complex jobs with willingness and intelligence.They asked good questions, offered suggestions that were helpful and took pride in a job well done. They went the extra mile to pitch more
This was our first Workaway experience and we couldn't have asked for more. In exchange for 4 hours work Mon-Fri we received superb accommodation and great company. The work mainly consisted of gardening, painting internal & external walls & some windows, gardening, burning the dry brush, building a small stone wall, fixing some leaky windows and more
This was my first workaway experience, and I am grateful to have had such a positive introduction to the program! I spent almost four weeks at l'Orangerie working in the garden and helping out with administrative tasks. What a rewarding experience! The company was wonderful and the hosts were honest and fair. Excellent accommodations, with much to more
Thanks for the nice review Sarah. Our feelings about your stay were equally positive.
Sarah was an amazing, willing helper with all of
the french translating/communicating that needed
doing. She was also a whiz with the Livebox dilemma.
In the garden, Sarah was game to help with whatever
needed doing. She had great feeling for the plants
