    Description

    Somos un oasis verde, antiguo, espacioso y preservado, ubicado en el corazón de una ciudad en rápido desarrollo.

    Actualmente buscamos una o dos personas altamente responsables, con iniciativa propia, mínimo un 70 % de dominio del español y experiencia o interés genuino en tareas prácticas como jardinería, mantenimiento general, carpintería básica y cuidado de espacios naturales.

    El rol consiste en encargarse del cuidado integral de la propiedad a cambio de alojamiento. Las tareas incluyen: jardinería, limpieza y mantenimiento de la alberca, cuidado general del terreno, compostaje, limpieza interior y pequeños trabajos manuales (como reparaciones o decoración), siempre en coordinación con los anfitriones.

    Dado que administramos la propiedad de forma remota, valoramos especialmente la autonomía, la comunicación clara y la capacidad de tomar decisiones responsables sin supervisión constante.

    La higiene y el respeto por el entorno son fundamentales. No se permiten productos químicos, ya que el agua residual se reutiliza para regar las plantas. Por ello, todo lo que utilices (jabón, champú, pasta dental, etc.) debe ser biodegradable, y sus envases deben ser reciclables o llevados contigo al terminar tu estancia.

    No se permite el consumo de alcohol, drogas ni tabaco. Tampoco se admiten fiestas ni regresos nocturnos después de las 11 pm.

    Nuestro espacio está alineado con principios de vida vegana, generación mínima de residuos y respeto equitativo entre humanos, animales y naturaleza. Por coherencia con estos valores, no se permite la entrada de productos de origen animal, ni alimenticios ni cosméticos.

    Valoramos especialmente conectar con personas que apoyen la descentralización digital y estén familiarizadas con herramientas y plataformas alternativas a las de Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.). La comunicación se realiza a través de canales descentralizados o privados, por lo que agradecemos tu comprensión y adaptabilidad en este aspecto.

    Cada voluntario es responsable de su propia seguridad. No asumimos responsabilidad por accidentes, robos, enfermedades ni imprevistos durante la estancia.

    *️️️️️️️️️Check-in: de 11:00 a 16:00 (lunes a miércoles)
    *️️️️️️️️️Check-out: de 9:00 a 11:00 (miércoles a viernes)

    We are an ancient, spacious, and preserved green oasis located in the heart of a rapidly developing city.

    We are currently looking for one or two highly responsible individuals with initiative, at least 70% proficiency in Spanish, and experience or genuine interest in practical tasks such as gardening, general maintenance, basic carpentry, and caring for natural spaces.

    The role consists of taking care of the property in exchange for accommodation. Tasks include: gardening, cleaning and maintenance of the pool, general care of the grounds, composting, interior cleaning and small manual jobs (such as repairs or decoration), always in coordination with the hosts.

    As we manage the property remotely, we particularly value autonomy, clear communication and the ability to make responsible decisions without constant supervision.

    Hygiene and respect for the environment are essential. Chemical products are not permitted, as waste water is reused to water the plants. Therefore, everything you use (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) must be biodegradable, and its packaging must be recyclable or taken with you at the end of your stay.

    The consumption of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco is not permitted. Parties and late nights after 11 pm are also not allowed.

    Our space is aligned with the principles of vegan living, minimal waste generation, and equal respect between humans, animals, and nature. In keeping with these values, animal products, whether food or cosmetics, are not allowed.

    We particularly value connecting with people who support digital decentralisation and are familiar with alternative tools and platforms to Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.). Communication takes place through decentralised or private channels, so we appreciate your understanding and adaptability in this regard.

    Each volunteer is responsible for their own safety. We assume no responsibility for accidents, theft, illness, or unforeseen events during your stay.

    *️️️️️️️️️Check-in: 11:00 to 16:00 (Monday to Wednesday)
    *️️️️️️️️️Check-out: 9:00 to 11:00 (Wednesday to Friday)
