Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Maintaining the animals and vegetable garden is a learning experience but next to that we offer the great city of Valencia as a cultural experience. We live in the hills where it is cooler. Here you enjoy the beautiful surroundings when hiking with our dogs. In the afternoon we often like to go to the beach or city.
We have outdoor and indoor kitchens available for you if you would like to do some cooking.
People feel at home and relaxed when they are here and I am sure you will too.
Help
We have a very big plot. Chickens, pigeons, fish and dogs. There is also a vegetable garden. It all needs to be kept in order. Next to that there is the general household + we have a couple of building projects on our list. Something there for everyone we would say.
Please be aware that this location is remote. We cannot emphasize this enough and point out that there are bikes available to go to the town of Montserrat where there is a good public transport connection with Valencia.

Accommodation
You will be staying at the main house. It is big enough for us all to enjoy.
What else ...
The little town Montserrat is just down the hill. We have bikes available for those that like a challenge. It is a lively little town with lots of energy and activity. If you like hiking we have the best trails starting at our doorstep. But if you would like to zen and sit with our Japanese fish enjoying the calm and serenity that is quite allright.

Thanks so much for having me over in your beautiful hide away.
Unfortunately Monique was away when I was over but you really made me feel at home. Your homemade bread is the best and thanks for showing me around town.
Wishing you all the best - Georgi
