Description
*** We haven't took workdays for the last few years, sorry to all those unanswered messages we had, sorry !!! ***
We are small hotel located in Andalusia, southern Spain in a pretty white village called Jimena de la Frontera. Jimena is surrounded by the natural park "Los Alcornocales", where you can enjoy beautiful walks down near the river. Runned by an artist, it has 13 bedrooms and a tapas bar. I´m looking for help to start in March 2022 for a minimum of 2 months, it would have to be the right person so I would like to do Skype interviews to make sure of that. A small description of whom would be the right person: The workway should have intermediate spanish. (which means able to understand and speak spanish), very friendly, very relaxed, person whom likes to spend time alone. Your job is mainly to wait for guests, help when needed (events, breakfast, cleaning ).

Jimena is 1hour train trip from Ronda. a 35 min drive from the Mediterranean sea and 45 min from the beaches of Tarifa.

Help
Up to now most of our workways have been students and wanted time to read in a very relax atmosphere spending a lot of time in the hotel. This has worked out perfect for the hotel needs. So basically I´m looking for someone who spends a lot of time in the hotel and and then works in the evening in our Tapas Bar (sometimes it can be quiet and othertimes it can be busy). By no means this doesn´t mean that the person will not be able to have lovely walks and enjoy the surroundings . I´m looking for someone who is intelligent, independent, enthusiastic, optimistic, smiley, likes a laugh, friendly, welcoming. I would like to emphasize that Jimena is a very quiet village, (there are no shopping centres) but for those who enjoy nature, incredible walks in our natural Park, roman, arabic and phoenician remains, those who enjoy reading, studying, meditating, playing music, arts this is their perfect place !
Speaking spanish is a must, medium level or more, as many of our guests are spanish.
Your room will be the same standard as the hotel. Please don´t contact us if you just want to come for a holiday.
