    Description

    We are a little family of three generations, along with two sheep, a dog and a cat - and maybe soon a few hens :) We are looking for a French person / French family to help us with projects in our small finca near the sea , in the province of Cadiz. We have gites, a dance / sport / activities studio and we would need general / maintenance help, but also to help my 5 year old (who loves to tinker) to practise his French by doing projects together, for example building a tree house, making a vegetable garden, building a henhouse, playing sports together etc ... (He understands everything, but he just needs a little encouragement to speak!)
    Our small finca is located on the edge of a seaside resort near Cadiz, in the south-west of Spain. It is a wonderful place for lovers of the sea, sport, and nature. La Barrosa beach is 5 minutes away (they say it is one of the most beautiful in Spain), we are surrounded by beautiful walks and cycle paths in the pine forests, the tennis club is right next door, as well as golf, surfing, and horseback riding.
    Could be suitable for a couple, a man who has some experience with children, or even a family with one child. We would need about 4 hours of help per day, 6 days a week (flexible). You would have your own small house / apartment and therefore would be completely independent. Access to our swimming pool which is open all year. We are very open to ideas, so please don´t hesitate to contact us and we hope to welcome you very soon !!

    Nous sommes une petite famille de trois generations, ainsi que deux moutons, un chien et un chat - et peut être bientôt quelques poules :) Nous recherchons une personne française / famille française pour nous aider avec des projets dans notre petite finca près de la mer, dans la province de Cadiz. Nous avons des gites, une salle de danse / sport/ activités et nous aurions besoin d´aide générale / entretien, mais aussi pour aider mon petit de 5 ans ( qui adore bricoler) a parler en français en faisant des projets ensemble, par exemple construisant une cabane dans les arbres, faire un potager, construire poulailler, faire du sport ensemble etc...(Il comprend tout, mais il a juste besoin d´un peu d´encouragement pour parler!)
    Notre petite finca se trouve au bord d´une station balnéaire près de Cadiz, au sud de l´Espagne. C'est un endroit merveilleux pour les amoureux de la mer, le sport, et la nature. La plage de La Barrosa est a 5 min ( on dit que c´est l´une des plus belles de l´Espagne), nous sommes entourés de belles promenades et pistes cyclables dans le pinar, le club de tennis est juste a coté , ainsi que le golf, le surf, et l´equitation.
    Pourrait convenir a un couple, un homme qui a un peu d´experience avec les enfants, ou meme une famille avec un enfant. Nous aurions besoin d´environs 4/5 heures d´aide par jour, 5 jours par semaine ( flexible). Vous auriez votre propre petite maison / apartement et donc seriez complètement indépendant. Accès a notre piscine ouverte toute l´annee. On est tres ouverts aux idées, alors n´hesitez pas a nous contacter, et on espère pouvoir vous accueillir tres bientôt!!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Ideal for lovers of tennis, golf, horse riding etc, as all the clubs are within a few minutes walk! The beautiful beach of La Barrosa (10 mins cycle - we have bikes you could borrow) for wonderful walks, surfing etc. Gorgeous cycle rides through the pine forests.
    La Barrosa has several cafes / bars etc - obviously it is much busier in the summer, but there is normally a bit of life all year round. It´s definitely not the place to come in winter for lots of nightlife though!
    There is a small supermarket a few minutes cycle away, and a bus into our nearest town ( 20 min away) where you will find everything you need, including a great fresh produce market, and clothes markets etc.
    The beautiful city of Cadiz is just over half an hour away - wonderful, authentic Spanish atmosphere! Magnificent Seville 90 min. Traditional ¨white villages¨in the nearby hills. Tarifa or El Palmar for great kitesurfing.



    -----

    Ideal pour les amoureux de tennis, golf, equitation etc, car tous les clubs sont a quelques minutes a pied! La belle plage de La Barrosa ( 10 min en velo - nous avons des velos que vous pouvez utiliser) pour des promenades magnifiques, le surf etc. Belles ballades a travers les pinars.
    Vous trouverez des cafes / bars a La Barrosa - bien sur beaucoup plus de monde en été, mais il y´a un peu de vie toute l´annee. Cependant ca ne serait pas vraiment le bon endroit a venir en hiver pour beaucoup de ¨nightlife¨!!
    Il y´a un petit supermarché a quelques minutes en velo, et un bus pour aller a la ville la plus proche ( 20min) ou vous trouverez tout dont vous avez besoin, y inclu un tres bon marché de produits frais, vetements etc.
    La belle ville de Cadiz est a peu plus d´une demie-heure - magnifique atmosphere authentique espagnole! Seville a 90 min. Les ¨villages blancs¨traditionnels dans les collines autour. Tarifa ou El Palmar pour le kitesurf.
