Help
We need a single volunteer or a couple willing to help us keep gardens, terraces, and housework- Winters are slow so when there are no guests we ask for help with the internet, help to promote our place, and maybe help to carry things, remodel or build something.
( 4 hours of help per morning, free afternoons and weekends, or mutually arranged as you feel convenient. We don´t provide meals, but there are little neighborhood shops with supplies half a block away and a kitchen and common spaces you are welcome to use, there are terraces and lots of garden space with nice views.Languages
