    Description

    We have hosted Workaways for many years - we love the interaction and variety it brings to our home. In November we need help with managing and the land, including picking and pruning Olive trees. To give variety we mix in a bit of maintenance and general gardening . Claire trained in permaculture and Andrew trained in forestry so we have skills to share- including knowing the best walks around the area. We have a beautiful Mastine dog named Beau who joins in with singing and chanting. We usually start the day in the Yoga studio with stretches and meditation. You will have your own en suite room and use of a fully equipped kitchen- the fridge will be filled with breakfast and lunch ingredients. There is a salt water swimming pool which is used year round. Claire normally cooks either a lunch or evening meal to share together.
