Informationen
Beschreibung
We have hosted Workaways for many years - we love the interaction and variety it brings to our home. In November we need help with managing and the land, including picking and pruning Olive trees. To give variety we mix in a bit of maintenance and general gardening . Claire trained in permaculture and Andrew trained in forestry so we have skills to share- including knowing the best walks around the area. We have a beautiful Mastine dog named Beau who joins in with singing and chanting. We usually start the day in the Yoga studio with stretches and meditation. You will have your own en suite room and use of a fully equipped kitchen- the fridge will be filled with breakfast and lunch ingredients. There is a salt water swimming pool which is used year round. Claire normally cooks either a lunch or evening meal to share together.

We stayed with Claire, Andrew and their lovely dog Beau for nearly 3 weeks and just had the best time!
We felt immediately welcomed when we arrived. Our room was tidy and very cozy - probably one of the best accommodations one could hope for on workaway 🤗

Friso and Marlena are a perfect workaway couple. They fitted in well with the house- with us, the other workawayers and our dog Beau. They are organised, responsible, cheerful and willing. They kept time well , took orders and suggestions maturely and could work independently. They were sensitive to other people’s needs and were discreet around… read more

Francesco is a really lovely guy. He fitted in well with the other workawayers and went beyond the call of his duties keeping the shared kitchen clean for example. He is sensitive and spiritual as well as being a diligent worker. Do not hesitate giving him a place as a workaway . You are welcome any time Francesco.

Spending a month with Claire and Andrew for my first official Workaway set the bar very, very high for any future experiences.

Then we would enjoy a delicious meal… read more
