Descripción
We live in a beautiful quinta in the algarve countryside, with about 4 acres of gardens and paddocks, and a pool. We have 3 dogs of our own, and sometimes a few friends dogs in the garden. I have 3 beautiful gentle horses, who I ride often. I am 59 and English, and my husband is 75 and Irish. My goodness, that sounds old and we are NOT old, although since my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he has slowed down considerably

We are looking for an English speaking couple, To help with cutting back our garden, ( being able to handle a chain saw would be very helpful) and occasionally helping to look after the animals. You don’t have to be a horse rider, but you need to not be afraid of horses! There is often painting or woodwork to be done, or repairing stone work or fencing. A love of the outdoors and animals is a must ! You must be able to look after yourselves in the kitchen as we are often not around at mealtimes.
I would love you to help me with my french speaking if possible!
Please check my availability calendar. I do not have time to reply to people if I am not looking for help. Please respect this…. I try to be polite in replying to everyone, but it takes too long if I already have Workaways here.

We live in the countryside, an oasis of calm, but only 10 minutes to the village , Guia, which has many bars and restaurants, shops and a post office. A jeep or a scooter is available for you to use occasionally, as are bikes. We have a lovely pool, and the beaches are 15 mins drive away, or a 40 minute cycle. You must be confident and self sufficient, and happy to cook for yourselves. Sometimes I will cook for everyone, I love it, and used to be a chef!
You may ride the horses if you have previous experience, when there is a horse available. ( I have 5 ladies who ride with me. )
I run a small kennels and cattery, but the workaways are not expected to help in any way in this venture.
We love a long term stay…. We have made friends for life with many previous workawayers.
