  • Description

    Description

    We have a rural smallholding In two hectares of olive groves, raised permaculture beds and lovely gardens with a salt swimming pool. We live in the small finca and the your room is around a Jasmine filled courtyard with your own kitchen/ dining room/ lounge. There is a yoga studio for everyone's use. Andrew and Claire are both osteopaths and naturopaths. We are both very capable in all areas of gardening and maintenance but extra hands are always needed with everything. If you are good workers we can teach you skills.
    We are looking for a couple to share a room. Duties will include gardening, decorating, chopping firewood, cleaning the pool- whatever is needed. You can have privacy, join in with meditation and cook your own meals or eat with Claire and Andrew sometimes. Andrew loves walking and paragliding. Claire has many hobbies including perfume making, cooking, pottery and loves to share skills.
    If you speak Spanish, we would love to practise with you.
