  • Description

    Description

    We are a Dutch family with 2 kids (10 and 16) who moved to Spain in 2023. We have a big rural property of 5,5 hectare with an olive grove, fruit and nut trees,
    We're currently renovating the house, which has a guesthouse and a pool and working the olive grove to eventually make our own oil.
    It's situated in a calm rural valley between de town of Olvera and the village of Torre Alhaquime in the Andalusian mountains. .

    We're looking for people who can either help maintaining the terrain and plantation and/or can help me around the house.
    Experience is not needed, just motivation. I'm more than willing to teach how stuff works.
    So if you want to learn how to build stuff, or if you just want to be outside in the trees and on the field, that's all possible!
    Also we wouldn't mind some extra company to tell about and listen to all the stories we and you have to offer.
    If you're stressed, burned out, need to get away, this is also a very nice place for you. I would love to share my experience and maybe help you at there.

    In regards of accommodation we can offer a nice place to stay in the guesthouse which is a bedroom with own bathroom. Later on this will have a kitchen and small living as well, but that is still under development. Maybe you could help with that?
    We provide the meals but please note that I don't cook vegan.

    If you want to escape the busy life and want to retreat and you don't mind to a few hours per day to help me out, this could be a good match for you.

    We would prefer minimum stays of a week.
