  • Description

    Description

    We are a family (myself David, my sister Dominique and our mom Maria) trying to manage a big piece of land just by ourselves.

    We host people and friends all year long but summer is too busy for us to manage and I (David) live in Spain so I can't be there so often.

    We are looking for someone to help us with cleaning, checking-in our guests and clean the swimming pool. That's it.

    We do not make any money from holiday rentals or anything. We simply host our friends or people that exchange their homes with us (with Home Exchange).

    Accommodation

    You will stay in small studio with your own bathroom and kitchen. It's small and it gets pretty warm during the summer. We can provide a fan because there is no A/C. You can even sleep in one of the bungalows while they are available, as long and you keep them clean and they are ready when our guests arrive.

    There is small camping site where you can park the car/camper/motorhome with a kitchen area, bathroom and barbecue. You are welcome to use the tennis court next to it but it's pretty old. Of course you can always sleep in the studio if you prefer.

    Can possibly accept pets

    We don't mind accepting pets as long as you clean up after them. We have two dogs in the farm (Any and Kika) and Amy does get along with other female dogs. This means you can bring your female dog but we will need to make sure they do not meet unsupervised.
