    Description

    I am a purchasing coordinator during the week and aspiring farmer on the weekends. This property was managed by my great grandparents as a small island farm. My grandmother and her sister kept it as a flower garden and citrus orchard. Lot of surrounding nature was taken over by nature itself. So I spend my weekends trying to restore this to its former glory :) Property is located on a gorgeous island of Koločep just outside of Dubrovnik.
    YOU MUST - have adequate travel insurance or be prepared to pay for any medical/dental emergencies.
    Accommodation - spare bedroom.
    There is a spare bedroom with 1 single bed and pull out sofa that can accommodate two. Bathroom, kitchen and other areas are shared. Bed linen, towels and beach towels are available.
    You will need to provide your own body shower gel and all other toiletries such as hygiene, hair products or moisturizer, sunscreen etc.
    The kitchen and bathroom must be kept clean and tidy at all times.
    Cleaning products are available.
    Tasks:
    Regular household tasks
    Garden work weeding, weeding, weeding and some more weeding. Hey did I mention weeding?
    Occasional watering of the young trees during the summer.
    Animals: On the property we have a dog, goats, chickens and bees. Tending the goats and chickens should be something that you are comfortable with no previous experience required. As for bees no need to work with them however beware that if you are allergic we are located on the island 2 km away from the village doctor and 30-45 minutes by the boat to the mainland.
