  • Description

    Description

    We are a fun loving, easy going English couple with various skills and experiences.
    We are looking for help around the house and help with our renovations (nothing too complicated just an extra pair of hands really) and help with the plants and rural garden.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live in a quiet area only a 5 minute drive from a small and beautiful sea side town, if you don't have transport you could stroll to the beach about 45/60 mins and the lane is fairly flat, or we have two bicycles available, however, if we are going in the same direction then of course we would take you!!
    As individuals we have traveled extensively during our time together, we love to meet new people and share stories and we are happy to pass on our life and work experiences as well, and of course there is always help with English language on a daily basis.
    We are great believers in giving and helping anyone in need and encouraging others to try new things and think and act for themselves in both a work environment and also in the family home.

    Help

    We have just bought a large house with an connected annex, close to the small sea side town of Castell de Farro. There is a small plot of land at the back of the property that needs some attention and inspiration!

    We have started updating the property inside, but there is a lot of digging and clearing at the rear of the house as it was empty for several years and over that time there have been land falls from the land behind. We also have a basement that we really need help with as well, it was used for animals and storage but we need the pens to be broken down so that we can use the space!

    We hope to find people who are adaptable and willing, but definitely need for them to be motivated.

    We are always open to suggestions on the help needed, we work well together and also with others, we appreciate extra help and input, but take nothing or no one for granted.

    You will have your own private space either in the annex apartment or the top room in the main house, there are three shower rooms, one in the annex and the other two in the main house, however there is only one working shower in the main house so we would all have to share that but gladly you will have working toilets at least!! :)
    You will have your own kettle and toaster in your room with crockery and cutlery so that you can relax over breakfast, and your meals will be provided in the main house with us.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The beautiful little town of Castell de Ferro is a bustling town and is known for its long beaches and clear waters of Andalucia. There are several bars and restaurants, shops and local supermarkets etc, however, we go to a larger town at least once a week to shop, so you could spend some time exploring the area. There is also a good bus service.
