Description
Welcome to our unique villa, situated at the lakeside in Luzern / Switzerland. There is large garden, better a park in a protected area, lake access, boathouse, beach - but the mountain view just beats it all.

On the compound is also a Bed and Breakfast on an extraordinary location.

We would welcome a motivated and experienced person or couple to help us getting the park, forest, garden and beach ready for the summer (ideally with experience in carpentry, painting, etc.) . We would like people with an eye for what needs to be done and care for detail.

Anne was an amazing host! The work she gave us was flexible and not too demanding. She also recommended places to visit around Luzern during our stay- such as Pilatus where she even took time out to drive us there early in the morning!

Thank you so much… read more
