    Description

    I am a retired teacher living in a beautiful tranquil part of Central Portugal with my two senior dogs who are loving and playful.
    I need some help around the garden and occasional pet sitting
    The property is located between Tabua and Oliviera do Hospital about 45 minutes from Coimbra. I have a small house with a separate, self contained living space suitable for a single person or couple.
    There is a large garden with various fruit and olive trees and stunning views of the mountains and the Portuguese countryside. The house is in a small village. It's very quiet and peaceful and the neighbors are really friendly. I would appreciate help with clearing and maintaining the land and stetting up a chicken coop. There are many river beaches, hiking routes and areas of historical interest in the local area.

    What else ...

    The property is within walking distance of a small mini market. The main road with public transport links to nearby towns is less than 10 minutes walk away. This would be an ideal opportunity for an individual or couple who want to get away from it all, connect with nature and enjoy some uninterrupted peace and quiet in a beautiful setting
