Description
Hi workawayers, we are Jeanette and Bob from the UK who retired to this quiet little village in Central Portugal. We are looking for help with our large garden, clearing ,weeding etc. There is an old swimming pool on our land we are hoping to make into a natural swim pond, so if you have any experience with this would be helpful but primarily it would be helping in the garden. The accommodation we can offer is a small self contained studio house with single bed, sofa, tv, internet, shower room and small kitchenette. We have two very friendly dogs but are not adverse to your own furry friend joining you, as long as they get along with other dogs. We would like someone to stay for a minimum of 3 weeks but the longer the better.
We are in a rural area so own transport would be desirable or you can bring your own van and park on our land with electric hook up.
The centre of our village is only 100 metres away with supermarket, bar, restaurant and atm. All we ask is a couple of hours a day helping in the garden 5 days a week.
Beautiful area for hiking and 20 kms to the beautiful city of Coimbra.
Please be aware we are unable to help with Visa.
