Description
Hello, we are a family of 4 (plus two dogs and one cat) living in the Western Algarve just outside the village of Barao De Sao Miguel. We are looking for some help with painting the exterior of our villa and some general maintenance. We will provide a caravan for you to live in (outside shower and toilet) and a weekly food budget in exchange for 5 hours a day work (Mon-Fri).
The villa is quite rural but not too far from some amazing beaches (great for surfing) and countryside. We have bicycles for you to use and can give you a lift when possible.
Would suit an individual or couple.
