Description
Welcome to the beautiful mountainous region of inland Valencia, Spain. Situated one hour from both Valencia and Alicante. We are Emmeline and David (English) and look forward to sharing our stunning location and rural activities project with you.
Five years ago we chose to swap our city jobs to do something completely different and much more enjoyable!
Now living in Spain since October 2018, along with our daughter, and our two acquired rescue cats. We are active, sociable, and enjoy a fairly healthy lifestyle.
When we bought our house it required a combination of repairs, restoration and renovation...and we still have lots to do to turn it into the stunning retreat we know it can be. We can offer lovely accommodation and gardens but need some extra helping hands. We have gardening, painting, more painting and lots of other tasks that we never find time to finish. In exchange we can offer full board and lodgings, plus the opportunity to do a bit of cycling, running, hiking, or simply relaxing.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This is an absolutely stunning area for anyone who enjoys rural activities, keeping fit, exploring castles and caves, natural parks, wildlife etc. We are keen cyclists and runners and love to make the most of the fantastic routes we have on our doorstep.
Help
There is lots of gardening work to do, tree pruning, painting indoors and outdoors. So a keen interest and willingness to help with any of these would be hugely appreciated.
