  • Description

    Description

    Our house in the mountains of the Lavanttal Alps is looking for a friendly house sitter.
    There are no pets to take care of — only the garden, which includes two raised beds, and the lawn, which should be mowed with a petrol lawnmower.

    A few young fruit trees will need watering when the weather is hot.
    You will be staying alone in the house, and there are neighbours nearby in case you need any assistance.

  • Help

    Help

    The main tasks would be taking care of the young fruit trees and mowing the lawn.
    There are beautiful hiking trails in the region, and you can start directly from the house.

    However, you will need a car to get down into the valley, as there is no public bus service.
    So your own vehicle would be necessary.

    You will most likely be staying alone in the house.
    Further information and photos can gladly be provided by phone.
