Seeking a Skilled Helper in a Unique Seaside Paradise
Hi there! I’m looking for a reliable and skilled helper to stay at my place for a week, with the possibility of extending the stay.
The ideal candidate would have experience in woodworking, gardening, or indoor plant care, as well as an interest in contributing to a few light maintenance tasks around the property. Your skills will be put to great use in a place that offers not just a job but an opportunity to relax and recharge in a truly special environment.
Why This Place is Unique
Architectural Wonder:
My residence is a one-of-a-kind gem designed by Jacques Couelle, a visionary architect. The apartment itself is a masterpiece, blending charm and character with a sense of peace and serenity.
Stunning Sea Views:
Wake up to breathtaking views of the Mediterranean right from your room. The expansive terrace and large windows make the sea a constant companion during your stay.
A Gateway to Exploration:
Located in a picturesque area, the residence serves as a perfect base for exploring the beauty of the surrounding region. Whether it’s beaches, nature, or historical sites, there’s plenty to discover nearby.
Resort-Like Amenities:
My place offers the vibe of a boutique resort with proximity to the sea, and a fully equipped apartment where you can unwind like a guest on vacation.
What I’m Looking For
I expect about 20-25 hours of help per week, depending on your expertise. The tasks may include:
Assisting with light woodworking or small renovation projects.
Caring for houseplants or tending to a modest decorative garden.
Helping with general upkeep, such as minor painting or creative enhancements.
Who Would Be a Great Fit
I would especially love to host someone who has:
Expertise in woodworking or carpentry.
Professional gardening skills or knowledge of indoor plant care.
What You Get in Exchange
Free accommodation in a peaceful, Mediterranean-inspired space with incredible views.
A private apartment with a fully equipped kitchen for your use.
The chance to live and relax like a tourist in a resort area.
The freedom to explore the area during your free time.
I aim to create a balance where you’ll enjoy your stay as much as you contribute. Since preferences and assistance levels vary, we’ll discuss meal arrangements ahead of time to ensure a comfortable experience.
A Bit About Me
I wear many hats, from online headhunting to psychology and mindfulness coaching. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and listening to a mix of rock classics from various cultures. During the summer, my kids often join me here, adding a lively and warm touch to the atmosphere.
Additional Information
Firstly I can accomodate at my place for one week initially, with the possibility of extending the stay later. This is due to my own travel schedule, as I often need to leave and cannot promise long-term accommodation upfront.
Health insurance for the duration of your stay is required.
Please let me know about any dietary preferences, allergies, or restrictions.
Couples are welcome, but we may need to discuss food arrangements separately. I may not have much to do for the couple but it depends on the skills.
If you’re interested in this opportunity to combine work with relaxation in a truly unique setting, feel free to reach out with any questions.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I've got a bit of a diverse range of interests – singing in different languages, exploring art and history, diving into international politics, delving into psychology, meditation, and pondering over philosophy. So, you can always count on engaging and intriguing conversations around here.
If you're into singing and a bit of light-hearted merrymaking, we could totally harmonize together. I've got musical instruments lying around, including a keyboard. However, it's important to mention that my work keeps me occupied, as I'm often freelancing and quite busy. That being said, you'd need to be comfortable with your own company and enjoy your time even when I'm caught up. This spot might just be the perfect match if you're a fellow freelancer who's all about work and travel.
Help
What kind of help almost always welcome:
1. Different type of repairings. Woodwork (cutting, polishing, painting) and putting the tiles.
2. Gardening (we have around the apartment area to make it more plants and flowers) and make them happier:-)
