Descripción
Hello! I live in an amazing part of France with two dogs in a big countryside french farmhouse. My daughters are away studying and my son only here on occasional weekends.
I am very interested in handyman/handywoman or anyone that likes gardening, knowledge of pool fonctionment. I would like independent, self starting people with experience in life!
I have been living in this house in this part of the south west France for many years, gradually renovating and restoring as I can. I do many things, and have also completed a similar project in restoring an entire house close to Bordeaux.
I live with Suki , a 5 year old beautiful German shepherd cross and Aslan her son , 1 year old and adorable and they both need love, attention and walks!
I am working on improving my main house as it is so big and overwhelming to get this done all by myself! Any help with this will be very much appreciated. I also have many projects in the garden such as pruning, felling trees, burning off areas, creating outside spaces, outdoor living. I am experienced in building, electricity, plumbing, architectural plans so can offer lots of things to learn.
It is a 15 century building with old stone walls, fireplaces, lots of potential and charm so I am looking for motivated and dynamic people that can try their hand at any type of creative DIY tasks, organising, tidying, cooking, gardening etc
Current projects
- Huge organisation of main house
- Changing doors and window, fixing shutters.
- Help with Suki, Aslan, walks and company.
- General cleaning, gardening.
- Would love a native Italian speaker to help me learn Italian, I am fluent in French and English,
I often go to Bordeaux and am happy to drop you there for visiting the city.
I prefer longer stay workawayers to build better relationships so ask a minimum 2 week stay but in summer sometimes it works out for shorter stays.
Looking forward to hearing from you! ;)

Alojamiento
In a 15th century building, 60cm thick stone walls, fireplace and wood burning stove to heat in winter. You will have a private room and a shared bathroom. We are working on the main house and renovating the bathroom and main living areas but the house is big and plenty of space to get away from the working area when needed!
Food included during your stay.
, I follow a healthy low carb diet, mostly vegetables bought from farmers' markets when possible and avoid processed foods. I do also eat meat. ;-) Anyone liking cooking is welcome as well! I provide you with food for 3 meals per day on your working days or when at the house. When we go on outings, visiting etc on the weekends which are not obligaratory, you should cover these costs yourself. -
Algo más...
Saint Emilion is 15 kilometers away, a Unesco classed village. There is a bicycle path that goes for 100's of kms from just down the road, traversing vineyards and fields, and going all the way to the sea. Underground caves and tunnels in the vicinity. Note that we are in a rural area, closest bus stop 7 kms away.....
