Program Details

The main focus of our project is helping us in restoring and renovating parts of the house.

We're looking for enthusiastic helpers who are open to lending a hand with tasks like painting, sanding, building, or general maintenance.

If you’ve got experience — or just an interest — in woodworking, general construction, tiling, plumbing, or anything along those lines, even better!

Overall, it's a unique and evolving home where you'll have space to breathe, connect, and be part of something creative.

Activities & Shift

You'll be staying in a private room located in the downstairs apartment of the house—(part of the area we're in the process of renovating).
The room has a comfortable double bed and a stunning ocean view. It’s a peaceful and cozy space.

The shared kitchen, shared bathroom and shared living room are located upstairs, which you'll share with us. (the floor where we live).

The house also features two terraces facing the ocean. One is already completed and perfect for enjoying your mornings with a coffee or practicing yoga, reading, relaxing, or simply soaking in the view.🌊

The second terrace is under reconstruction, but it’s already showing its potential and adds to the charm of the place.
