Informationen
Beschreibung
We are a Swiss couple, Agnes and Beatrice, soon to be 60 years old, and are living on this beautiful island, São Miguel, since 13 years.
Our property is located in Ajuda da Bretanha, a little village, in the north-west of the island with direct sea view.
We rent 2 bungalows and 1 apartment on our 6'500m2 property.
Everything grows here, especially the weeds.
So we would be grateful for help, mainly weeding to prepare the garden for vegetable sowing.
In addition, we would like to plant more fruit trees and help would be great for that as well.
We provide a bungalow for our helpers. They have to cook and keep the cottage clean themselves.
We envisage working hours of 4 hours / 5 days a week.
We are open for a dinner together every now and then.
It is important to us that our helpers love animals and accept that our 2 dogs are also with us at work.
Are you interested? Then please contact us and we will be happy to discuss further details over Skype.

and once again a super-top workawayer...
Anouk spent the time from 21st march to 15th april with us. There was a lot of weeding, planting flowers and, above all, painting, painting, painting.
She did all the work perfectly, independently and without asking again. Often, because she got up earlier than us, she simply picked up the paintbrush and… read more

We spent 6 weeks with Agnes and Beatrice and really enjoyed our time there! They both are very kind, funny and helping.

Andrea and Laszlo - the best decision we could have ever made.
They stayed with us from 10 January to 15 February.
First they cut back all the hydrangeas. Then Laszlo pruned the trees (his speciality) and I weeded with Andrea for sowing.

Tami & Philippe - thank you for all the perfect work you've done. It's incredible what you've done during these two weeks.
Unfortunately you have to go home again - we would have liked to have had you with us for a while longer.
May be for another time - you will be always welcome.

Agnes and Beatrice are great hosts – I definitely recommend volunteering for them! They were welcoming and generous, and I loved having conversations around the wood stove with them in the evenings. You’ll learn a lot about Swiss culture if you stay here, and maybe put on a few pounds because the dinners are fantastic!

Simon spent six weeks with us. His main tasks were gardening works as weeding, digging etc. Further he often had to take care to our dogs.
We learned to know him as a willing, interested and good worker. He's polite, always on time and keen to do something. Not to forget his good cooking...
To all hosts we can really recommend Simon.

This is for sure one of the best places who can imagine: Ispent six weeks at this place. Agnes and Breatice are very kind, provide excellent food and accomodation. The work is definitively not too hard and you have a lot chances to explore the island with them or on your own.
A big "Thank you" for this six weeks.
