Hannu stayed with me all winter, very reserved even tough he stayed inside my house and not in the depandance. Worked very hard and has left my garden impeccable, he was so good I have asked him to come back next year. It is a pleasure to have someone so discreet but who works so hard. I strongly recommend him, please dont ask him for the winter… read more

I spent the winter in a super comfortable place, three and half months in Linda's house. Did take care of the garden, cut branches, and fix the trees and bushes. The garden is full of fruit trees and did give lots of pleasure, did enjoy the fruits and very refreshing Limoncello we made.
Linda loves cooking and and she created very delicious meals.… read more

Gli abbiamo fatto visitare Santarcangelo, il Castello di Montebello e abbiamo fatto una scampagnata nella nostra casa in montagna dove abbiamo passeggiato nel bosco.

What a wonderful family. Anna and Matteo are very nice and respectful people, and the kids Giulia and Giacomo are so sweet. And Matteo is a master chef.
I did spend with them two nice weeks. Would have been great to stay longer, but unfortunately did not have enough time. I did work in the garden, and did install mosaics in the bathroom.

We had only one week together but Hannu managed to do my whole task list. And he did it both efficient and with quality. My garden looked so good the last day! He´s a modest person, nice and caring and it´s rewarding to have someone your own age to talk with. So I can really recommend Hannu!

Hannu is a quiet and respectful person. He helped with the gardening, trimmed a massive hedge and painted my kitchen ceiling. The work is perfect and meticulous. Then he went to help my elderly parents.
Thank you for your help both in my house and at my parents.

Hannu was here for a week in August and painted the house with the traditional Swedish outdoor "rödfärg" paint. He's independent and planned and did the whole job himself, I just needed to provide him with the material, and the result was great. He preferred to work long days and take the remaining days off to explore some sites on the island. We… read more

Hannu came to help me for four days in the country side and then stayed with us in Helsinki for another week in the beginning of this year. There was a little bit of misunderstanding about one thing int he beginning, that turned out to be just and only that - a misunderstanding. During his stay, Hannu turned out to be a very good hearted person… read more
