Description
Hi,
I'm Violeta, part of this large weird family.
We have a Andalusian farmhouse with a lot of gardening work, 1h from Seville.
We don't have the time, money and energy to do everything it should be done,
that is why we need some extra help.
Although we do not live permanently,
we love to enjoying and spend time here taking care of it.
It is ideal if you are looking to get away from society for some time,
since there is nothing within 5 km around.
It is in the heart of the Sevillian countryside.
It is very hot in summer (too hot), an enviable climate in winter.
But luckily we have the pool.
We offer accommodation in our house, basic but cozy (for us and we hope for you too)
surrounded by nature and sun.
This is a perfect place for those who love the outdoors, animals and the rural lifestyle.
This summer we are looking for help with the maintenance of the house,
but we warn you that it is VERY HOT, the house is cool,
there is a pool and you can choose your work hours as you want,
but it can be quite hard if you do not tolerate the high temperatures well.
We look forward to sharing our little rainfed paradise with you!

Mi nombre es Violeta y después de ser workawayer
pensé que sería buena ideaser host.
Mi padre y sus hermanos tienen este cortijo andaluz
demandante de mucho trabajo, situado en la provincia de Sevilla.
Aunque no vivimos permanentemente,
pasamos varias temporadas disfrutando este pequeño paraíso.
Está en plena campiña sevillana, es decir, mucho calor en verano,
un clima envidiable en invierno. Pero aguantamos el verano con la piscina.
Es un entorno remoto, y tranquilo.
Si buscas alejarte un poco (o completamente) de la sociedad por unos días,
es tu sitio, ya que solo hay algunos cortijos en 5km a la redonda.
Buscamos voluntarios que puedan ayudarnos con diversas tareas
como mantenimiento de casa, jardín y piscina.
También apreciamos cualquier idea para mejorar la casa.
Nos encanta hacer de bañeras viejas, jardineras.
Te alojarías nuestra casa,
Este es un lugar perfecto para los amantes del aire libre, los animales y el estilo de vida rural.
Este verano buscamos ayuda para el mantenimiento de la casa,
pero os avisamos que hace MUCHO CALOR, la casa es fresca,
hay piscina y puedes elegir el horario de trabajo que quieras,
pero puede ser bastante duro. si no toleras bien las altas temperaturas.
¡Esperamos compartir nuestro pequeño paraíso de secano contigo!Types of help and learning opportunities

It belongs to 8 siblings who are between 60 and 80 years old, very nice grandparents, that's how they define themselves.
My brother and I live abroad, so we can't go here as much, so it is our parents who are in charge of the maintenance and who enjoy them the most in their daily lives.
Although most do not speak English, they are always excited to learn about other cultures and share their own. Through conversations and daily activities (they love playing cards) you can immerse yourself in the authentic local culture and learn about the history and customs of Andalusia, they are very nice.
Although my brother and I will be there for whatever you need, to receive you and help you.

Es de 8 hermanos que tienen entre 60 y 80 años, abuelos muy simpáticos, así se definen ellos mismos.
Mi hermano y yo vivimos en el extranjero, por lo que no podemos venir tanto aquí, por lo que son nuestros padres quienes se encargan del mantenimiento y quienes más los disfrutan en su día a día.
Aunque la mayoría no habla inglés, siempre están entusiasmados de aprender sobre otras culturas y compartir la suya propia. A través de conversaciones y actividades diarias (les encanta jugar a las cartas) podrás sumergirte en la auténtica cultura local y conocer la historia y costumbres de Andalucía, son muy agradables.
Aunque mi hermano y yo estaremos para lo que necesites, para recibirte y ayudarte.Projects involving children

Es una casa bastante grande y amplia
Disponemos de varias habitaciones, por lo que podrás tener tu habitación privada,
pero dependerá de la gente que haya en ese momento.
Contamos con 3 baños, agua caliente con placas solares,
una cocina común totalmente equipada donde podrás preparar tus propias comidas
o colaborar en la cocina con nosotros.
En el exterior, tenemos piscina y amplios espacios al aire libre donde relajarte
y conectar con la naturaleza.
Tenemos una sala principal donde comemos, jugamos a las cartas y se fuma
(la democracia familiar estableció desgraciadamente que esa es la sala de fumadores).
El cortijo está situado a 5 kilómetros de La Luisiana, pueblo más cercano.
Sin embargo, podemos dejarte el coche si lo necesitas y cubrir cualquier necesidad que surja,
ya sea para hacer compras, explorar la zona o simplemente disfrutar de un cambio de ambiente.What else ...
We are currently having water supply problems in the farmhouse due to the desertification of the area, so sometimes we can run out of water for a few hours.
The farmhouse is quite large and needs many hands to be maintained. Unfortunately we, the nephews, cannot be there continuously because we live abroad and our parents need more and more help. It is a very beautiful place that we are very fond of and we do not want to lose. We would love to share it with other people so that they can enjoy it as much as we have.

Actualmente estamos tenieno problemas de abastecimiento de agua en el cortijo debido a la desertificación de la zona por lo que a veces podemos llegar a quedarnos sin agua por unas horas.
El cortijo es bastante grande y necesita muchas manos para poder mantenerse. Desgraciadamente nosotros, los sobrinos, no podemos estar allí continuadamente porque vivimos fuera y nuestros padres cada vez necesitan más ayuda.
Es un lugar muy bonito al que le tenemos mucho cariño y no queremos perder. Nos encantaría compartirlo con otras personas y que puedan disfrutarlo tanto como lo hemos hecho nosotros.A little more information
