Description
My mother choose Portugal and when she died me and my sister inherited a wonderful property ,but no money to maintain it.I still lived at that time in Germany and my sister here in the Algarve.The work was too much for her to manage alone,so she asked me to move to Portugal.
Than she left to take care of my father in Germany, where we are from and I had to do all my own.
I m working now here as a guide and fell in love with the Algarve.
The problem here living in the Natural park Ria Formosa near the sea is that its very humid and this mean we have to repair and renovate every year.Its a lot of work for me alone so I would love to find somebody very handy for february /march to help me to renovate our place.
Advantage to live in this beautiful place in the nature near the sea and islands infront of Olhao.
I love to cook for the helper and provide his/her own little studio to live in.
