What's this?

Details

Description
I have a large garden to maintain. The house is in the countryside, bordering vineyards, pleasant surroundings and 10 minutes from the entrance to Bordeaux. We can reconcile life in the countryside, work in the countryside, and tourism around (Bordeaux, St-Emilion, Arcachon ...).
I'm not at home everyday (because my job) so you have to be independant!
I don't cook much, but I can cook simple things, and above all buy what you want so you can cook!

J’ai un grand jardin à entretenir. La maison se trouve à la campagne, en bordure de vignes , cadre agréable et à 10 minutes de l’entrée de Bordeaux. On peut donc concilier vie à la campagne, travail à la campagne, et faire du tourisme alentour (Bordeaux, St-Emilion, Arcachon...)
Je ne suis pas à la maison tous les jours à cause de mon travail, il faut donc être indépendant et autonome
Je ne cuisine pas beaucoup mais je peux cuisiner des choses simples, et surtout acheter ce que vous voulez pour que vous puissiez cuisiner !

Philipe was a really nice person. Although we did not get to see him very often, due to his work, the time we spent with him was really good! He always asks what you need and want to eat or drink. Pierre is a really attentive guy.
The work we did, mainly was gardening but as we had all possibly needed tools, the tasks were ok! Thanks for this… read more

Oups j'avais oublié de laisser un feedback. Pourtant, c'était très sympa avec Cecilia. Nous avons bien partagé autant que je le pouvais, n'étant pas toujours disponible. Elle a bien trouvé à s'occuper dans le jardin et la maison. Tout était très propre quand je suis rentré. Cecilia est courageuse pour les travaux du jardin et c'était un très bon… read more

Très désolé pour le feedback tardive. J'ai passé un très bon sejour chez Philippe.
Il a un grand jardin ou on trouve beaucoup a faire. C'était amusant de courir après le mutton, la chevre et le agneaux qui franchissaient souvent la clôture pour explorer son jardin ou le jardin de son voisin :)
Phillip était tres patient avec mon Francais basic. Il… read more

We had a short visit at Phillipe's but it was relaxing and enjoyable. We spent some time working trimming shrubs mostly, which we enjoyed. He was out of town for most of our stay but supplied us with plenty of food and wine, which was delicious. We had a good evening together when he returned, he is a very nice guy.

Philippe is a very calm and nice man, so it is almost impossible to get a bad experience out of staying with him. He lives in a nice place, and the work is very fair. He also knows a lot, so you shouldn't be bored going to his place.

At that time there was some work to do in the garden, mostly weeding, pruning and some painting.

He speaks very well English and his kindness will make you feel at home.

I had a lovely week at Philippe's place. He is very attentive, he went out of his way to make me feel welcome and often asked if I needed anything from the supermarket. We spoke a lot and he helped me out with my French. We also went up to Saint Emilion on the Sunday, which was a nice outing.
He is a busy man, often out either due to work or sport… read more

PhiPhi!! You are genial man! ;)

At first we spent one week at Philippes place. He just bought a beautiful house with a quite big garden, which needs some attention and love. Mainly the work consists in garden maintenance like weeding, mowing or cutting. However if you search on own initiative you can also find other kind of work. There is always… read more
