We are looking for a down to earth couple or to come and stay on our finca for a short while and help us with gardening, maintenance and new DIY projects to make the place even better. You would stay in our stunning glamping dome, with its own private kitchen, garden and bathroom. You would also be able to use our saltwater infinity pool, games room, outdoor cinema, firepit and bar area

  We are looking for a couple (male and female) to come and stay for 2 weeks. Working hours will be 4-5 hours per day, Monday to Friday in the morning.

  Help

  We basically just want help around the finca. It could be gardening, or walking the dog, helping to collect fire wood, general maintenance around the property. Feeding the chickens, cleaning their coop from time to time. Basically what you would expect to be doing if you owned a large property with several outdoor areas. Help inside the house (cooking, some cleaning) is also required. You need to be committed and willing to help for a few hours a day without always being asked or told what to do (for example if you notice the pool terrace is dirty, grab the hose and wash it. If you see the pathway needs weeding or the plants need watering, just go ahead and do it etc)
  
  We can commit to hosting volunteers for an initial period of two weeks, after which point we can discuss an extension of stay should we agree that the arrangement is mutually beneficial.

  Accommodation

  In exchange for your help you will be living in your own private mini property on the grounds of our finca. You will enjoy a beautiful and huge geodesic glamping dome with stunning views, a private bathroom, private garden complete with kitchen and BBQ area. You would also have access to our large saltwater infinity pool, outdoor bar and firepit chillout area. We will provide a food allowance of 50 euros per week, as during the week we are not normally available in the evenings, so you would be preparing your own meals in your kitchen.
