The experience

Our project focuses on creating a place where we host themed stays for a week for a group of 7 to 9.

Our house is a big structure that we are slowly renovating.
Update 25/05/25: during the next 3 months we will be:

- lots of woodwork (furniture and small DIY objects)
- garden landscaping
- creating a new space in the 20m3 cave we excavated in april 2025.

Program Details

We do not expect that you are a professional in any of the tasks (plastering, plumbing, woodwork, electricity, ....).
However, we expect you to be a fast learner, a hard worker and a good person :) Above average.
We will work with you daily and serve as a guide.

As stated before, during 2025Q2, we will be working on common spaces of the house.

This will involve various tasks and skills.

Activities & Shift

Depending on the season, we usually start at 07:00 and work until lunch at 12:30-13:00.
You are a grown up so you know better if and when you need intermediate breaks.
Working shifts are modulable depending on the needs, the weather, and many exterior factors. Therefore we expect you to be flexible (it works both ways :)).

We will provide you with the basic working equipment.
