Description
We are Clara and Mario, a couple that bought a property 2 years ago in the countryside in San Vicente (Alicante, Spain). We share our home with three lovely dogs: Chipi, Kamala and Coco! ❤️ (we cannot accept volunteers with pets as Kamala is not friendly with other dogs).
We have a space with a lot of potencial, and we need some help because there is a lot of work to do, specially outdoors, in our 2k meters land.
We'll provide to our guest (or guests if they're a couple or if they're fine with sharing the bed!) a remodeled and full equipped room, as well as the access to the house that is already remodeled and ready to use.
We'll also provide a complete breakfast, snack and lunch (with vegetarian option), and the kitchen is ready to be used if you need to prepare some brunch or dinner. We want you to have your own food also please. Dinners are not covered so you need to feed yourself well and feel good.
The house is in a small rural neighborhood that is surrounded by nature and mountains where you can go for a walk everyday and enjoy sunrises and sunsets.
Come and join us! 🌈Types of help and learning opportunities
