  Description

  Hello,
  
  We are Tom & Maartje (30) and live near the village of Apricale in Italy. We live in the middle of nature on one of the mountains at a height of 300 meters. It's a small village with a very cosy centre. From Apricale you can easily visit one of the many natural swimming pools, sea or bigger cities such as San Remo, Menton, Nice and Monaco. Personally we like the quetiness while simultaneously having access to all kinds of facilities and activities nearby.
  
  Our adventure in Italy started in September 2021. We both desired to give a different touch to our daily living and therefore decided to leave our apartment in Nijmegen (Netherlands). The place we live has a very good basis for living, but we want to further improve as everything has grown wild over the past years. Our place consists of 3 houses and a big garden. The garden is built up out of multiple terraces. We are looking for someone that can help/guide us with all kinds of jobs such as building new stone walls, gardening etc. We are both not very handy but eager to learn. So your experience is very appreciated.
  
  In return we can offer you a personal place to sleep, eat and shower. And you can always join us for dinner or borrow our bikes/car to travel the area :). Please let us know if you are interested. We are open to all kinds of ideas/suggestions!
  
  Cheers
  
  Tom & Maartje

  Accommodation

  You will have your own room (+/- 12 meter) with a bathroom (outside or inside). The room is seperated from our house so you will have really your own place. You can also use our facilities if desired.
  
  We prepare our own food everyday, you can always join us for dinner and breakfast or use our facilities to cook for yourself. Maartje also loves to cook, so any experience or new ideas are more than welcome.

  Apricale is just about +/- 15 km from the sea. The nearest airport is Nice and is only 75 min drive. You can also come by train to Ventimiglia. Please let us know what suits you best so that we can arrange transport
