    Hi people!
    We have a beautiful house with land and gardens but we need some help! We can offer you a double room and bathroom and homecooked food. We have 3 donkeys, 3 dogs, and a kitten, so it would help if you love animals!!
    Our place is remote and surrounded by the most beautiful nature, we have a river with natural waterfalls and pools for swimming, mountains for hiking and cycling and beautiful sunshine
    We need some help with basic DIY and painting inside and outside. It would be good if you have some decorating experience, can clean up, and are happy to work alone sometimes. The work will include painting (sometimes up a ladder, but not too high!) Some basic DIY repairs, maybe some help in the garden with the strimmer, pruning trees and also, the donkeys need to be fed and hugged twice a day too!
    There will always be someone around but it would be good if you can work alone sometimes. Up to 4 hours a day.
    There will be food provided for breakfast and lunch and dinner will be cooked for you unless you want to cook for yourself.
    Please get in touch and we can meet on whatsapp!
