Description
January in Aljezur?
Hello!
We are Elli (48 years) ,Valentin (11 years ) and Yuna (5 years). We live on a beautiful hilltop close to Aljezur and we always need some helping hands in exchange for a nice place to stay and fresh healthy food.
At the moment we are looking for 1 or 2 joyful people that would like to stay with us the second half of february. We need help with landscaping, planting, land clearing from invasive plants and cooking. it would be great if you like kids and don't mind to get your hands dirty. if you have some practice with chainsaw or brushcutter would be amazing, but there is no experience needed, motivation and dedication are more important.
We can host you in a beautiful clay house.
We have a stunning view all around, there is a pool and a sauna that you can use. The beach is about 12km away.
Happy to show you around and take you to town, the beach, the markets around. But you can also walk or hitch hike from here easily.
...and we have three cats, and 2 guinea pigs:))
Looking forward to hear from you!
