Description
We (0,5,36,47), our 2 dogs and our cat live in the countryside, 2km from a tiny village by the sea, where I run a little guesthouse business. We have a lot of trees to fertilize and prune, and a tiny vegetable garden, but plenty of land. At the moment we could have some support mostly with cutting branches and moving logs (preparing for the winter) , cleaning and painting some walls, renewing wooden boxes for the vegetable garden, fertilizing trees, pruning trees, sanding and painting furniture, playing with the dogs, cooking, shoping, babysitting, tidying up, caring for the chicken, etc etc etc :P
With two kids life has changed, so we dont host so much because hosting adds to the chaos, but i’d like to give it a try again : ) -

Accommodation
Volunteers have a little house for them alone, 300m from our place, so its better if you come in 2 or enjoy spending some time by yourself. At the moment the best deal for us is 3hours work, 5 days/week, with no meals, or 4 hours work 5 days/week and we provide food for one daily meal.

What else ...
The village is accessible by bus.
Best way to enjoy spare time here is just reading a book, relax on the beach, getting creative, visit local historical sites, go for long walks, surfing/body boarding/SUP, renting a kayak, biking, snorkeling, etc -
