Description

I live not far from the village of Biot, which in just up from Antibes. I generally need help with the garden, but also sometimes also with the interior, jobs like painting and general house maintenance. I have a cat, so must not be allergic to animals.
There is a bus at the top of the road, 15 minutes on foot. The bus to Antibes is about 20 minutes. Lots to see in the area on days off.

We had a great time staying with Christine, helping on her amazing property. We did approx 5 hours work a day in the garden preparing it for the summer, it was a good workout, counting as our daily exercise 😉 The food prepared by Christine was incredible and plentiful! We had lots of time to explore the local village of Biot, and to head further … read more

Christine has described her place perfectly - it is very comfortable and very tranquil. She also gives you a very nice room and fantastic meals! (I put on weight!) Christine is easy to work with - I worked in the garden and sanded down and oiled some teak furniture ready for the summer season. She lets you get on with it and if you have knowledge … read more

Kirsty and I had the most amazing time staying with Christine for 3 weeks. Biot is a beautiful village and the location of Christine’s house allows for easy access to the town centre (via bus near the house, or walking for 20 minutes approximately). Christine’s house is very well kept and we felt comfortable as soon as we arrived. Christine is … read more

I stayed with Christine for one week in September. Christine is a very nice person, who offers lovely food and delicious meals. When I arrived, she picked me up by car from the train station in Biot and she brought me back there when I left. Christine has a beautiful and tidy house with a beautiful garden. During my stay I had my own bedroom and … read more

This was my second Work Away experience and I had the most magnificent two (ish) weeks! Christine is a kind and generous host- working along side me in the garden and sharing life stories or giving me a tour of Antibes and it's history. Christine's home is both beautiful and comfortable, the room I stayed in was luxurious with a private bathroom … read more

Gry came to help for one week at the beginning of Oct. It's 6 weeks later and sadly I need to say goodbye to Gry!! She has been an enormous help with the house and garden. She's highly experienced, and does such thorough work, better than any gardener that I've had. When I picked her up at the train station she had a huge smile on her face, which … read more
