  Description

  We, Julie and Mark, have a varied background, ranging from horse riding instructor, Squash professional to founding/managing partners of an international HR technology start-up
  Past experiences include property self-renovation projects or working within the construction industry. Having seen amazing local derelict properties, steeped in history, we decided to renovate such a house, which has taken us on a path of renovation, followed by proving serviced accommodation i.e. well being holidays
  We have several possibilities for accommodation within a small village of 400+ people. The town is surrounded by mountains, incredible wild life, to fresh water wells. Depending on your appetite, we can offer raw food ( Julie is a true vegan), to typical Spainish dishes
  We are very flexible to how we work together

  Types of help and learning opportunities

  DIY and building projects
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Julie and I do attempt to interact with all colleagues and we are usually doing actual hands on work along side. This automatically creates a bond and having gained a number of years experience in Spain, we can answer or explain how things are done locally
  Being a family of 3 ( Max is 14), all with different diets, evening can mean many saucepans on the stove, but we are comfortable in proving various food choices
  Obviously, we don't know it all and we are happy to learn from our guests. This doesn't just apply to construction, but also to our business created for the wellbeing of people i.e "". Here we offer a whole range of services such as yoga, walking, food etc.
