Description

We provide water, WiFi and we cover the first weekly 40 kWh of electricity consumed in the guesthouse (which is for your private use only). To give you an idea: that is more than half of what as we consume in the main house, four times the size, with a family of four people... It should be enough, but if you use more than that, we will ask you to pay us back (price +/- 0,3 euro / kWh, the guesthouse has a separate counter)

The Experience

We are a busy, 5 person family, open to welcoming some help with gardening, cleaning, housekeeping, maintenance, painting, ... We enjoy cultural exchanges: we have hosted hundreds of visitors in home exchange, Ukranian refugees. We are generous by nature, and we expect the same of people staying with us. For this position we prefer single travellers as we don't have enough work for couples. Exceptions can be discussed.
