Description
***DISCLAIMER: We're looking for somone(s) to join us ASAP (June 2026) ***
Hi!
We are Elo and Dario, a couple in our early 30’s with an 8 month old baby. Dario is a sound designer and Elo is a photographer, and two border collies animate our day-to-day!
We love hiking and adventures all around, board and video games, being creative together, meeting new people and exchanging ideas.
We live in a house, in a village called Treyvaux (bus stop to Fribourg 8 mins away). The lake de Gruyère is 5 minutes away, the mountain peak “La Berra” 10 minutes away, and there are plenty of beautiful nature spots all around - we’d be happy to tell you all about them. And when it gets too hot, we jump in our swimming pool! -

Help
Our house has been squatted over the last few months so we are looking for help to put it back in its shape.
Help could include:
-cleaning (windows, floor, furniture, etc.)
-gardening (taking out weeds, trimming, taking care of the grass, etc.)
-sanding, oiling wood
-moving things around the house, helping us carry things to the dumpster
-small DIYs
Other help might include preparing meals and/or taking the dogs for a walk if the feeling with them is good :)
PLEASE READ BEFORE MESSAGING US:
-We prefer hosting 2 people at a time (couple or friends)
-Last minute usually works better for us
-From experience our ideal length for stays is around 10 days, with 2 days off
At the moment we would prioritise someone skilled with: various DIY projects skills, wood working, gardening, and/or general maintenance/cleaning -

Accommodation
We offer a comfortable private room with a double bed and a private bathroom. The kitchen is available to make your own breakfast (provided) and we usually share lunches and dinners together.
In the village (8 mins walk) you will find a supermarket, a bakery, a nice restaurant, post office and a butcher. There's also a bus stop there that will take you to Fribourg train station/center in about 25 minutes. -
What else ...
The village is quiet and peaceful, sheeps, cats and cows are neighboring the house. We really love living in the center of Switzerland and being so close to big cities (Fribourg, Bulle, Bern and Lausanne, easily reachable with the great public transportation system).
Nearby cheese and chocolate factories/museums are a must-see, and leaving without having tried our typical dish “the fondue” would be almost a crime! -

We had to urgently leave another workaway that was going badly and they so kindly offered to host us with another volunteer for a few days !
They made us feel at home and were very thoughtful !
We would gladly come back and stay even longer this time :)
During this time she mainly helped us with some gardening, maintenance and cleaning tasks, which she all did very thoroughly. She was focused, understood and followed guidelines, and did the work efficiently.
During our absence, she stayed in touch and … read more

The days we spent with Brian and me were fantastic. Elo and Dario are extraordinary people with a wonderful personality and a big heart. They are super friendly, easy to get along with, hardworking, and passionate. I could write many more positive aspects about them, but this message would be so long that no one would read it!
