Description
[Workaway note: please contact this host in French]
We are 2 friends, BENOIT and FAICEL as well as an adorable Boxer dog NESTOR, loving old stones, eager to create our respective living space and to share in B&B the beauty of the places, the organic cultivation of plants and the breeding of different animals.
Our experience in hospitality:
We ran a boutique hotel in Djerba, Tunisia, the only one on the island with 15 rooms and a great restaurant where people from show business, sports and politics came.
We took over the hotel in 2005 with zero customers and when we stopped because of the Tunisian revolution, the hotel was always full.
Great experience...
The castle is 1200 m2.
With 6 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, small decorated chapel
Several dependencies are to be added:
1 private apartment attached to the castle,
1 building with 1 floor (for creation of gîtes and another private apartment),
1 tobacco shed, because tobacco was produced in the region.
Cowshed, orangery, guest house, large reception room to be restored of 100 m2....
Need: train a person in a few days, so that he can take care of animals (supervision, feeding) and a little gardening and storage
Nous sommes 2 amis , BENOIT et FAICEL ainsi qu'un chien Boxer NESTOR adorable, aimants les vieilles pierres, désireux de créer notre espace de vie respectif et faire partager en B&B la beauté des lieux, la culture bio des végétaux et l élevage de différents animaux.
