I chose Peter based on his previous excellent reviews and can guarantee that they are all spot-on and he does have an exceptional work ethic. I initially had a variety of smaller more handy-man type jobs lined up for Pete's one-week stay. But in the end he stayed two weeks and did a total transformation of my front garden, removing a rotten wooden… read more

We did some… read more

We had such an amazing time at this beautiful finca with Mandy and her two cute dogs, Jock and Fleur. Mandy really is a great host. She introduced us to her friends and gave us so many tips on where to go on the island. Mallorca has so much to offer and Mandy helped us find some of the spots not in tourist guides.
The tasks we were given weren't… read more
