Description
We are a Swiss Family who moved to Costa Rica in Sept. 2021. We bought a big Finca (35ha) and are still in the beginning phase of our project. We noticed that plans and visions change all the time, so we are going with the flow. At the moment we live in a small mountain village 5 min. away from our land. Every couple has it's own little house. We all have dogs. We have 3 horses and a pony in a wonderful stable. There is a cat that and 3 dogs who love to cuddle . We are spiritual, "conspiracy theorists", not vaccinated, vegan, open minded, non smokers, like to do sports and live together in alinment with nature.
Please only apply if you are UNVACCINTED with Covid, due to an alergic reaction to Graphynoxid.

- help in the garden / greenhouse

What else ...
- Samara beach is 60 minutes away with the car

Taking the horses for walks (and sometimes even riding them) was our girls' favourite activity. Those horses as well as the dogs and cats are extremely friendly animals, absolutely… read more
We enjoyed the time with them and are grateful for the help and support they offered us.
Thanks a lot!
This place is truly special, and I can highly recommend it.
They are such kind-hearted people with so much warmth, making you feel welcome and comfortable from the very start.

Everybody can be happy to host her:-)
She learned quickly, always in good humor and as well happy to spend time on her own.
Our dogs loved her and she has a big heart for the animals. She kept our household clean and neat and quickly we felt, like she would be a member of the family
