  • Description

    Description

    Hi, I'm Valentina, originally from Italy but currently living in Faial, a small island in the middle of the ocean, belonging to the Azorean Archipelago (Portugal).
    I'm an architect but since I moved here I had different jobs mostly during the high season (summer). Because of that I usually travel on winter and I would like to find someone who could take care of my house while I'm abroad. I live in a small house in Cedros, it's cozy and needs just daily, easy maintenance.
    I also have a cat and a dog, the dog Theo will be traveling with me this time and the cat Luna is very independent, so not much work from her.

    Cedros, and in general Faial is a very quiet place. Perfect for people who work remotely, writers, artists.. there's a close connection with nature and a lot of places to trek, walk, have a swim. Winter time is even more quiet than usual and sometimes the weather is windy and rainy, that's why the house is cozy and has a nice fireplace to keep us warm.
