    Description

    Hi, we are an Italian couple in our 40s, we fell in love with Provence and we bought a house with a big garden in Arles. We have a spare room with private access and private bathroom. We would like to share our love for this region with people who can help us to improve the house and the garden according to their skills. We are always happy to share food, stories, music and ideas.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    After having lived in Italy, the US and the UK we decided to settle in Provence because we literarily fell in love with this region. We are more than happy to share our passion with travellers, help them discover the most interesting spots (in our view), itineraries and gastronomy.

    The house needs a lot of upgrades as well as general maintenance. Masons, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and gardeners are needed!
    We need to build an outdoor kitchen, this implies some masonry (concrete slab and tiles), plumbing (installing the sink), electric work. Plus we need to renovate some old forniture.
    We also have a lot of work to do in the garden: cutting wood, garden design, pruning. General maintenance is also needed.
