    Description

    We are a married couple, 61, live in Mallorca and renovate our beautiful ecological finca with ecological building materials like clay and lime.
    For the moment I would like to welcome strong hands who can help plastering walls with lime and clay, also doing biochar and cleaning the surroundings of the farm so we have in and outside work to do. We also have some woodwork which needs to be done.We also need some help with household like dishwasching, cleaning, etc.
    We live far away from the tourist hustle on the countryside in a magical peaceful environment.
    To the see are about 25 min. to drive.
    The next village Petra is about 3 km away. There is also a train station. Bicycle is available.

    We live here self-sufficient with own water and solar electricity.

    The house is very rustic and only partly finished. We go step by step creating nice corners in and around the house.
    you will enjoy your own room, a shared bathroom.

    We are non-smokers ourselves and there is no smoking in the house.
    We also don´t want you smocking pot or other drugs around the house, this is very important to us!
    We are fish-vegetarians we can also offer a vegan food. Meat is not welcome...

    We have two cats that has to be taken care of if we are absent.
    Bringing other cats or dogs is not possible because of the cat.

    We are speaking spanish, german and english.
    Internet (WLAN) is available.
