Pablo has provided approx. 2.000m2 with internet, it still works! Chantal has brought the household into the 21st century in terms of organisation and design, and all this with the most energetic support of her 2 girls.

Work is simple,… read more

When we arrived at Alex place, everyone was nice. Alex is very open-minded, kind and funny guy. The workaway - group was a cultural mix and they all got along very well. We all had much fun together. The kids loved being around the house, the Hotel and the people. They could be with the dogs or just swing and play in the big garden.
