Hi! We are Alain and Rémi. We own a beautiful 1932 log home on a mountaintop near the touristic village of Montebello, Quebec. The home was built by the same architects and craftsmen who constructed Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello, the largest log building in the world. We are also blessed with an amazing view over Quebec and Eastern Ontario. The village is located between Montreal and Ottawa, and is only 50 minutes to Mont-Tremblant. There are also daily buses traveling to Ottawa and Montreal. The Omega Park (a safari-like zoo of Canadian wildlife) is only a few minutes drive from our place. And at walking distance from our property, you'll find the Papineau Manor, a National Historic Site (near the Chateau Montebello), where lived one of the last Lords (Seigneur) of New France. We have 4 purebred Siberian huskies, who sleep in their private cabin and play in their gated playground. We are easy going, enjoy nature and like meeting people from around the world.

Área: Lower Normandy, France

I am a single Mum with 2 girls aged 7 & 8. We are bilingual, but normally speak English at home. We also have two long term helpers, Claire 23 and Mike 32, and a new arrival John 26, who is a chef. We have two spaniels and two indoor cats, and quite a few outside cats. I work 4 days a week at a business school locally and have 3 vacation rental properties, which take up a fair amount of my time too. Two are on site, and one is at the beach about 35 minutes away. They are all rented out for between 25 and 30 weeks a year and we try to make the most of them when they are not rented out. We try to go to the beach house every weekend, unless it is rented out. We live in an old stone house, which used to be a farm, we are surrounded by horses and cows. This area of France is the dairy capital of Europe. We are currently looking for people that can help with the building of our new apartment - which will one day be for helpers - so you need to be strong and preferably like kids, dogs and food! Now the structural work is finished we need help with everything for the interior - insulating, walls, flooring, plasterboard, fitting a kitchen & bathroom, everything you can think of pretty much - plus help keeping all the other balls in the air - our rentals, my kids, my real job and food on the table! We also have a veggie garden and fruit garden which always need help escaping from the weeds and picking fruit in season. Our dogs, two spaniels, also need rather a lot of exercise. We are in a rural location so a driving licence is essential, and a willingness to drive a manual car. I often don't have much time available so it is important to be independant and a self starter. Normally we all eat together as a family in the evening, and we do our supermarket shop together so you can choose your breakfasts and lunches. Bizarrely Normandy has a pretty active music scene, especially in the Spring and Summer.

Área: Basilicata

My name is Enrica, I am 27 years, pianist, and together with my two sisters manage our vineyard. We live in a beautiful spot of the Basilicata region, among the vineyards, wild animals and the sea on the horizon. I deal mainly with the sale of wine and the organization of events, but lately I'm also interested in our farm. I'd like to welcome foreigners to practice with the English language, or musicians to organize something together. Our company is great, you can help in a thousand different ways, you just want to have to learn and experience in the heart of nature. Mi chiamo Enrica, sono una ragazza di 28 anni, sono pianista e assieme alle mie due sorelle gestisco la nostra azienda vitivinicola. Viviamo in un angolo meraviglioso della Basilicata, tra distese di vigneti, animali allo stato brado e il mare sull'orizzonte. Io mi occupo principalmente della vendita del vino e dell'organizzazione di eventi, ma ultimamente mi sto interessando anche al nostro agriturismo. Mi piacerebbe ospitare stranieri per esercitarmi con l'inglese o il francese, o musicisti per organizzare qualcosa insieme. La nostra azienda è grande, si può essere d'aiuto in mille modi diversi, basta solo avere voglia di imparare e di vivere un'esperienza nel cuore della natura.
