  Description

  We are a London-based family of 4 (plus our French Bull Dog, Rio, so 5!)
  Roxy is 5 years old and loves Flamenco. Cozy is almost 2 and just cool and chilled. So far!
  We have excitingly bought a 1950s Finca set in an Orange Grove, backed my mountainous views and only 10 minutes walk from the best beach on the Valencian coastline. It's a bit of an undiscovered gem - there's also easy access to local towns/ supermarkets/ malls/ cinemas/ drive-ins and the best car boot you'll ever find!
  
  We are both creatives and are looking to create a beautiful vibe. I love yoga so creating a Yoga Shala out of the Car Port for example with bamboo roof cladding would be a fab job we could do with some help. We want Ibiza Mykonos Aesthetic. Homey, Raw Materials but slick and stylish.
  
  We're interested in making this place as holistic as possible, with a Feng Shui take on how you can transform your life through space planning and energy flow.
  We are looking people who are vibey, love music and are up for becoming part of the family for the summer or periods of the year, with or without us.
  We are here in the school holidays at the moment. If it works well, we would be happy to have you stay for free after we leave in exchange for continued upkeep while we're away.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  If you're into watersports or hiking or cycling theres plenty of free time to do what you enjoy here. It's heaven. There's also the chance to get creative with us and share skills - my husband wants to build a skate ramp so this is exciting if you love skateboarding!
  I love art projects like mosaicing walls etc so there's lots we're going to be cracking on with and can learn from each other.
  Plus the additional bonus of yoga sessions. I practise everyday when i can around the kids.
  If you're more wanting to help with the kids - Roxy and Cozy are magic - easy and fun to hang out with, go to bed easily and love the sea. Rio our dog is also magic so lots of fun to be had with them.
  We would love to learn more Spanish so a bonus if you're Spanish! We'll help with your English!
