Description
We, that's a single mom and her two kids, live in Asturias in Northern Spain.
We live in a little aldea in Northern Spain with our animals. The aldea is a 5 minutes car drive from the next town called Infiesto and 30 minutes from the mountains (national park) and the beach and the cities Oviedo and Gijon
We would appreciate help in the garden with child minding, cleaning, gardening and the horses. We have horses, people that have experience and love for horses are much appreciated. And plant lovers and handy people are very much appreciated as I would like to build a garden shade for sunny summer days.

Apologies for the late reference. I had a fantastic time here in lajares. The help varied depending on what was needed. For 1 month I watered the plants, helped in the garden, cooked breakfast for guests, set tables and cleaned up after dinner, taught yoga, and took guests running or hiking up the volcano.

We were very lucky to host Kim this spring.
She is a physiotherapist as well as a Yoga teacher. She has a very accurate understanding of the anatomy and needs of each student. She shared very passionately her preferred style of Yoga, Tri-Yoga, with our guests in group and private sessions. Kim is also very passionate about vegan nutrition.

It was a lovely experience to have Michael stay with us. If I was asked to name the main character trait of Michael it would be caring. Caring about our guests, the house, the Yoga and all the little things that made the life at our retreat center a bit smoother. Thank you very much MIchael and hope to have you over again. All the best.

We had Arek staying with us only two weeks unfortunately as he couldn't stay longer and we would have loved to have him more time with us. Arek is very tidy, clean and has a good working attitude. He sees many tasks before you even have to ask him. His pleasant personality makes his company very joyable and he was very nice with us and our guests.
