Informationen

Beschreibung
Hi, my name is Stephen,
I live in a small village in a lovely rural part of France just 30 minutes south of Poitiers.
I am restoring my village house which is over 200 years old, the restoration work is being sympathetically done, I am looking for someone with either building skills or good at DIY skills.

I would be pleased to have a French speaker as it would allow me to continue to learn the language, but everyone, no matter your language, is welcome, I'm a pretty chilled guy and easy to get along with

Your room is the best room in the house (see photo) and apart from the double bed there is a sofa & coffee table.
I was a chef for a while so the food is pretty good, I provide 3 meals a day with a beer or wine with the evening meal, fresh coffee is always on tap or tea if you prefer.
Previous helpers have enjoyed long country walks with Baboo, fishing, cycling, swimming, learning to play the guitar and improving their English.

If you don't have your own transport I can pick you up from the local train station at Lussac les Chateaux.

I live here with Baboo my dog & Lucky the cat.

I don't have a problem with smokers.

I'm not very good writing reviews, so I will be brief.

Great host, lovely pets, quiet area. He has Greek blood in his veins, so food and cooking is very important :) And chat, of course :)

Anyway, really great host. If I will be again in the area, definitely I will pay him a visit.
