  • Description

    Description

    I’m looking for a Workawayer who could stay between 25 May and 18 June (flexible dates) to take care of my animals, water the garden and vegetable patch, and look after the house while I am away.
    A driving licence is essential due to the rural location.

    The priority is:

    - caring for the cats and dogs
    - feeding the chickens
    - watering the garden and vegetable garden
    - keeping an eye on the house and enjoying the place responsibly

    This is a peaceful countryside farmhouse surrounded by forest and nature, ideal for people who enjoy animals, quiet life, and simple rural living.

    There are no complicated tasks or heavy work. I’m simply looking for a responsible, calm person who feels comfortable living independently in a rural environment.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Travellers will enjoy a peaceful stay in a traditional Catalan farmhouse surrounded by nature and animals.

    This experience is ideal for people who want to disconnect from busy city life and experience a slower and simpler rural lifestyle. You can learn about Catalan culture, local traditions, food, and everyday life in the countryside.

    I speak Catalan, Spanish, English, and Italian, so cultural exchange and conversation are always welcome.

    You will also have the opportunity to experience life with animals, gardening, and a more self-sufficient way of living connected to nature.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The farmhouse (17th century) is located in the north of the Bages region, surrounded by forest and nature. It is a peaceful and beautiful place, ideal for people who enjoy quiet countryside life.

    The person staying here will have their own private room and will mostly have the house to themselves while I am away, taking care of the animals, the garden, and the house responsibly.

    The farmhouse is 5 km from Navàs. From Navàs you can take a bus to Manresa, and from there a train or bus to Barcelona.

    It is an independent stay, ideal for responsible and autonomous people who feel comfortable living in a rural environment with animals.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Volunteers will have a private room with a double bed in a comfortable and peaceful farmhouse. The house is warm and simple, ideal for people who enjoy nature and a quiet environment.

    In your free time you can enjoy walks in the forest, relax in nature, or visit nearby places:

    Navàs (5 km away)
    Manresa (easily reachable by bus)
    Barcelona (about 1.5–2 hours by public transport)
    The mountains and the beach are both around 1 hour away by car

    This is a calm rural environment, ideal for people who enjoy disconnecting, nature, animals, and simple living.

    I enjoy meeting open-minded people and sharing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere at home.
