Description
Hi everyone,
We bought a stunning old Provençal villa in the South of France about a year back. It's got loads of character and a killer location, but it could definitely use some love. Since my partner is off for work most of the summer, I'm on the lookout for one or two people to come stay with me at the villa. You'd be a huge help with stuff around the house, especially fixing the pool and keeping our energetic puppy in check.
Whether you're a green-thumbed gardener, a DIY plasterer, a mason whiz, or just love hanging out with furry friends, we could use your skills. The house is pretty spacious, and the garden is even bigger, so there's plenty to explore and keep busy with. We are especially hoping to fix the pool and bathrooms this summer so any related skills would be awesome.
A little about me: I'm a French Canadian who made the move to the South of France five years ago. Before diving into yacht brokerage, I spent years travelling around the world and working in restaurants and on yachts. Summers are hectic for me, with work taking up most of my time. But I've got two adorable pets – a 3-month-old Malamute-wolf pup named Sierra and a cat named Kiwi.
If you're up for an adventure and don't mind lending a hand, we'd love to have you over.
Cheers,
Lindsay and Adrien
