    Description

    Hello! We are Angela, Michiel and our newborn daughter Sophie, we live in the nature, in the beautiful mountains of the Alpujarras, Sierra Nevada.

    We are located at 1500 m2 altitude, with several beautiful towns nearby, which are quite known for their beauty and authenticity in the region.
    Literally on the feet of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada with beautiful hiking paths, mountain bike paths, waterfalls, paths along the small rivers called ''Acequias'' which is the most ancient watering system, heritage of the Arabs.
    It is important that you like to be in the nature, and that you like to spend time alone, or in silence. Nevertheless many social life is occurring in the neighborhood.
    With a car, life is much easier here. If you want to come with your own camper, it is also possible.

    We ask for a minimum of 4 weeks, and if we like each other, it is possible to stay longer. Couples or 2 people who can share the bed, are very welcome.
    Ideally we would like 4 months from July until November.
    The deal would be 3,5h a day, 5 days a week. We are flexible on how you organize the hours along the day.
    We offer basic vegetarian food for you to make your own meals.

    We are also interested in support in cleaning our house once a week, it is not essential but it is highly valued since we are now more restricted with the family unit.

    IMPORTANT: no dogs allowed. We have 2 cats and like to respect their territory and tranquility.

    Together we speak fluent English, Spanish, French and Dutch.

    Looking forward to welcome you to our home.

    Let us know when you have doubts or other questions.

    Thanks!



    ¡Hola! Somos Angela, Michiel y nuestra hija recién nacida Sophie, vivimos en la naturaleza, en las hermosas montañas de los Alpujarras, Sierra Nevada.

    Estamos ubicados a 1500 m2 de altitud, con varios pueblos hermosos cerca, que son bastante conocidos por su belleza y autenticidad en la región.

    Literalmente a los pies del Parque Natural de Sierra Nevada con hermosas rutas de senderismo, senderos para bicicletas de montaña, cascadas, senderos a lo largo de los pequeños ríos llamados "Acequias", que es el sistema de riego más antiguo, herencia de los árabes.

    Es importante que te guste estar en la naturaleza y que te guste pasar tiempo solo o en silencio. Sin embargo, en el barrio se está produciendo mucha vida social.

    Con un coche, la vida aquí es mucho más fácil. Si quieres venir con tu propia caravana, también es posible.

    Pedimos un mínimo de 4 semanas, y nuestro ideal serían 4 meses desde Julio a Octubre incluidos. Es importante que primero nos gustemos mutuamente.
    Preferiblemente parejas o 2 personas que puedan compartir la cama, son muy bienvenidas.
    Pedimos 3,5h 5 días a la semana de trabajo y ofrecemos alimentos vegetarianos y todo lo básico para que puedan cocinar. Somos flexibles en cómo quieran organizarse las horas de trabajo a lo largo del día.

    Idealmente, nos gustarían 4 meses desde julio hasta noviembre.

    También nos interesa apoyo en limpieza de nuestra casa una vez a la semana, no es imprescindible pero se valora mucho ya que ahora estamos más restringidos con la unidad familiar.

    IMPORTANTE: no se permiten perros. Tenemos 2 gatos y nos gusta respetar su territorio y tranquilidad.

    Juntos hablamos con fluidez inglés, español, francés y holandés.

    Estamos deseando darles la bienvenida a nuestra casa.

    Hacernos saber si tenéis dudas u otras preguntas.

    ¡Gracias!
