Programa detallado
Option 1: 🏡 Help at Our Little Mountain Restaurant (El Tozu)
📍 Tozu village - 5 km from our house
We run a cozy 5-table country restaurant nestled in the mountains, and we’re looking for help with:
🔹 Playing and supporting our lovely 6-year-old boy 👦 (he's full of energy and improving with his little tantrums)
🔹 Cleaning, tidying, general maintenance 🧹🛠️
🔹 Peeling hazelnuts? Yes! 🌰
🔹 Helping with an old house renovation (very old house: holes, spiders, but also a piano, fireplace, kitchen & electricity!) 🕸️🔥🎹
🛏️ Accommodation: Private room in an apartment above the bar.
🍽️ Food: Meals at the bar when we’re around, or groceries provided for you to cook your own food in the apartment kitchen.
📆 Low season: Bar is usually closed Mon–Wed.
🚗 Note: Tozu is 5km up/down mountain from our house.
Option 2: 🏕️ Off-grid Mountain Life & Eco-Restoration
📍 Our very isolated home – 4x4 needed!
Want a wild, off-grid experience? We're restoring an old stone house and growing an organic veggie garden! 🌿🪨🍅
We need help with tasks like:
🔧 Rebuilding dry stone walls
🌾 Weeding, digging, planting, watering
🌱 Expanding the garden
🪚 Managing firewood, stream clearing, chainsawing (if you know how)
👩🍳 Housework, cooking, helping with the kids & homework
🛏️ Accommodation: Warm caravan near the house (note: no WiFi in the caravan, but house has it)
🍽️ Food provided
🌄 Activities nearby: Hiking, climbing, caving — ideal for nature lovers! 🧗♂️🌲
💌 If you’re open-minded, flexible, and ready for a rustic, enriching adventure — we’d love to welcome you into our home!
See you soon in the mountains! ⛰️💚
