Description
We are Ian and Katie, 58yrs young and married and we own a 7 bedroom winemaker's domaine/former monastery which we have fully renovated from a crumbling wreck in parts to a beautiful home. We try to make improvements wherever possible as this is a very old building and needs constant care and attention. Consequently we require help with painting and gardening and maybe some building/carpentry if you have the skills. The house has incredible 360 views of over a hundred miles of stunning vineyards and mountains. There is a garden and pool (12x6m) which you are very welcome to use in your free time. We have 3 cats if you're missing your pets and Katie has a gorgeous chestnut KWPN which she is happy to let you ride if you know what that is! We are within 25 mins of the beach and 10 mins of Pezenas.

Next door there is a working winery where you could perhaps arrange to get some wine-making experience if that is of interest. We don't actually make wine - we are more interested in the drinking part! We also speak fairly good French and are happy to help you in that area.
Aide
We are looking majorly for painters, both internal and external and someone not afraid to climb a ladder. Any know-how in the garden would be a real bonus and a carpenter, plasterer or tiler would be a dream as we are looking to build cupboards, dressing room, units for sinks, new bathroom, etc.

He is simply fantastic! He has twice the energy and drive of people half his age. And what a variety of skills! Among the many projects he helped us with, we now have seven new sets of shutters, two beautifully repaired and painted barn doors and THE most stunning linen cupboards we ever dreamt of… read more
We are seriously going to miss these happy, easy-going, smart young men. Their attitude to work is fantastic as is their willingness to take the initiative.
Wishing them both so much love and luck in their future adventures and hoping very much to see them again.
Bon voyage y'all !! 😍
