Description
We have a small Anglo-Turkish business, we run four stone cottages for guests with private houses and either terraces or gardens
The houses are part of the historic village of Sirince near the Aegean sea and the world famous ancient site of Ephesus
We are a small husband and wife team and a loyal lady who has been cleaning the houses for our guests for years but we want to step back from greeting and helping our guests who are nearly all English speakers, you need to have a charming and helpful personality who enjoys people from all over the world and would like to settle in this village for a minimum of 5 months next summer . You must help out in all aspects of customer service and if you enjoy cooking that would be great!! First we will initiate you into all aspect of our village and you must be willing to help with watering the gardens, helping the guests and answering their questions.

A chance to explore the area and enjoy the many beaches, historic sites, local towns and village life in this lively village.
Help
Meet and greet, orientate guests to their rooms or cottage and the village. Help out with all forms of interaction with the guests, calculate bills, take payments, answer guest queries and periodic help with housekeeping when needed. First you will work closely with my husband and I to learn the ropes but we are looking for someone who would like to try this type of work, a people person who is willing to do all aspects of our work.

Accommodation
Historic cottage in its own private garden , a two minute walk from the busıness cottages. this fully restored house with views over the village and hills beyond has all modern amenities, air conditioning , two bedrooms and two bathrooms. If you are a painter or a photographer or a hiker or an archaeology enthusiast or need time to study that would be great as you will have a lot of time to pursue your own interests. Ideally we are looking for a couple who would lıke to explore and stay in this wonderful setting .As you will be the only workaway people here you must be ready to entertain yourselves and be ready to learn about Turkish rural life. The only meal you would be expected to provıde would be a breakfast on our outdoor terrace at Olıve House for our guests only.
What else ...
There are many walks starting from the village and a regular minibus service every 20 minutes down to the nearby small town from where you can access many ancient sites and lovely beaches.
