Description
I would like to welcome you to help me working mainly in the garden (hedge cutting, weeding and more) for one or 2 weeks this autumn.
I’m also looking for help with a small plumbing task in one of my cottages.
Usually, work from morning to 2, 5 days a week, but I am flexible and wish you to be so too.
A positive attitude and some skills please!
Owns Bedrooms and bathroom
A great opportunity for you to explore the beautiful Cote D'Azur
(If you are vegetarian of vegan I'm afraid I can not cater for you)
I prefer to invite helpers with revues from other hosts!!!!!
Large villa on the Cote D'Azur just 15 minuets from Nice airport.
I have had some wonderful help from WorkAway in the past! Delightful surroundings and good weather!!
You must be trustworthy and kind but fun to be around!!! Tidy is also important in general!
Vence is lovely and all my WorkAwayers find friends in the area close to Nice, a bus ride away.

I don't always have time to look at this website so a phone call will get my attention as I always answer or call back!! I do not need help in June July August

Lynn called me from Spain asking if I had availability for a few days, I really did not need anyone but she was so charming on the phone I agreed to help her out, she was on her way to Italy. Lynn stayed with us for over 6 weeks, thankfully!
Lynn is one of the best you could ever host, she made some beautiful cushions for my 2 very large sofas and… read more

I have just had the most amazing time with Asa. My previous arrangements were cancelled and, with nowhere else to go, Asa very kindly let me stay for a few days. I actually ended up staying for six weeks! We hit it off from the start. She is very kind and sociable and nothing is too much trouble. Asa likes her helpers to have initiative, think… read more

Paul such a hard worker and a delight to have around, he is enthusiastic and has can do attitude with great attention to details, As any host knows it’s so great to have help that can work on his own and see what needs doing even before I had the time to ask or noticed the problems. The bonus point is he has his own car that he was happy to use in… read more

I have just spent a very pleasant 10 days in the gracious company of Åsa at her beautiful villa above the super little town of Vence, Cote D'Azur.

There were a range of things to do to prepare the villa for the summer and it was very nice to be given broad direction and be left, entrusted, to get on with the process as smoothly as possible.

David came to stay and help out for just 10 days. What he achieved in the time in just amazing! He can take to task anything , with us he removed and replace broken tiles on our roof and cleaned the entire roof from years of growth and rubble and cut over 20 huge branches of our pine tree that overhanged the roof! I can’t recommend him… read more

What an amazing workaway experience. Asa took me in at the last moment She was very kind, easy going, and friendly. I enjoyed spending time with her and Charmy the dog during and after the workday and had lots of laughs throughout my 12 day stay. The food was wonderful along with the wine. I really enjoyed the work, but I especially enjoyed her… read more

We have been with Åsa for a month and didn't really want to leave. We have worked a lot of odd things in and around her beautiful house and got rewarded with good food and wine. We didn't miss anything and would come back any time.
Too bad that we couldn't fit Charmy, her sweet dog, in our luggage.....
All the best for you Åsa and thank you for… read more

We’re to start with amazing Asa and her beautiful villa. I had the most amazing time here so much so the original month planned turned into 2. From the day I arrived Asa opened up the house to me and treated me as family, so much so the work never actually felt like work, more like I was just helping family out. The house was great I had my own… read more

Asa is an amazing woman, very hard working, honest and generous, my husband and I had a brilliant time with her - basically, if you do the work and share your time she will take you to her heart, I think! This was our first Workaway experience and we were very impressed but then she and her husband are very special people - I hope we can meet them… read more

Asa saved my trip from disaster, for which I am most grateful.

I was on my way to Nice for a 10 day workaway stay near Nice. The host called me on the phone and said "project canceled. You can't come here. Find someplace else."

I sent out several SOS requests to hosts In the area, and Asa responded. She could take me in for 4 days. It… read more
