Descripción
Hi! We have been Workaway hosts for 4 years now and have had many successful experiences. We are a family of three (Roddy and Claire) and our 19 year old daughter Evie (away at University in Valencia during the week). We also have three dogs and four cats, and are living in a small villa with a private pool and sun terrace on the side of a mountain in the Spanish countryside. We are British (we speak English and Spanish) and have lived in the area for the last twenty years. The nearest village is a short walk away, and three larger towns (including a lovely beach) within a fifteen minute drive.
As a family, we enjoy good food, films, music and travelling. We love meeting new people, getting to know about other cultures and learning about life around the world.
We have multiple jobs, and the summers are especially busy for us (our work trebles in the summer) so we are looking for an extra pair of hands to help out with various tasks. In return, we can offer you a friendly, family environment and plenty of entertainment with our large collection of pets.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We are offering a chance to stay at our mountainside villa, use of our private pool and sun terrace and an opportunity to explore the local countryside.
We can introduce you to the British or Spanish culture, depending on your preference or a mix of the two. We speak English at home and have a reasonable level of Spanish.
We are happy to help you practice English and have had plenty of practice with this, having hosted Spanish students during the holidays for the last fourteen years.

Ayuda
We work several jobs between us (pool maintenance business, magazine advertising sales & marketing and graphic design work) as we live by the mantra of ‘work hard and play hard’. We are out of the house for the majority of the day.
This is why we would welcome some extra help around the house.
As you can see from out past reviews, we treat our volunteers as family, taking you out and introducing you to local events, sightseeing and friends and family gatherings. We eat together in the evenings and enjoy long conversations and playing games.
We are ideally looking for a couple (partners/friends) preferably with own transport or over 25 with a license so you can explore by yourselves.
We love meeting new people and welcoming them into our house.
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Español: Intermedio
Alojamiento
We have a double bedroom where we can host 2 Workawayers with a shared bathroom.
We are happy to provide breakfasts (for example toast, cereal, fruit, eggs, yogurt) and simple lunches (for example various types of bread and sandwich fillings, Spanish omelette, salad, pizza, pasta, jacket potato and fillings) and evening meals all together.
Algo más...
If you have your own transport then this is a wonderful area to explore. Sadly public transport is very basic, there is a bus service to the bigger towns though. If you are over 25 with a full driving licence then you can use one of our cars in the afternoon or evening when its not needed, on the condition that if you damage the car then you pay the excess (sadly I have to be upfront about this due to an incident last year). However we don't want you to feel you have to leave the house, during your time off you are welcome to use the house as your home and enjoy the pool etc.

Sasha is lovely, very sweet, caring and happy to help.
They made me feel like home from day one and I had my own room with AC.
We hit it off immediately and went down to business. They would stop me when my time has ended but I enjoyed what we were doing so I would go on longer. I learned very important skills… read more
