    Description

    We are family from the Netherlands and we moved to our finca in Spain in februari 2021. We are Ybo, Chantal and our children Sarah (2012), Senna (2013) and Jins (2017). We have a large property of 48.000 m2 meters in a beautiful valley in the mountains near Tàrbena. For our guests we have a nice wooden chalet.
    We have 2 dogs, a cat, a pig, 3 guinea pigs and 5 chickens.

    Around our house is always work to do like mowing, pruning, painting, picking algarobas, olives in the seasons, maintenance jobs, occasionally watching our kids, etc.

    In December/January we are also looking for somebody or a family who wants to look after our land, animals and the vegetable garden while we are away.

    We especially welcome families with children more or less around the ages of our kids to come, but don't hesitate to contact us if this is not the case.

    Our house is situated 10 minutes by car from the village of Tàrbena and 45 minutes from the coast. Coming by car is a must, also for getting around, since there is no public transportation in the neighborhood.

    You can stay in our wooden chalet with 2 bedrooms (sleeps 5), kitchen, bathroom, living area, a/c, heating and a great view! Normally for a couple or family, we agree that the total amount of hours to work is about 30 hours a week, which can be done by one or divided by both of the adults. We don't offer food, but you will have your own place with kitchen where you can cook.
    In case you come alone, we can also agree that we do offer food and that you work 25 hours a week.

    We don't smoke and ask you not to smoke inside (our house and also not in the chalet).
