Program Details
Hello!
I would be happy to have help at the villa for art around a week. This would be for the Autumn/ October time. I still have to firm up dates that I will be there for.
The property is situated outside the picturesque hill side village of Glossa, on the island of Skopelos. Which is part of the Sporades archipelago in the Northern Aegean .
The first Mamma Mia Film was based here, so the Mamma Mia church is close by.
Skopelos is one of the greenest islands and though it’s not a massive party island, there is plenty to do especially if you appreciate nature and island life. It offers a lot of possibilities to have outdoor experiences such as hiking, mountain biking, swimming, exploring beaches, running, Yoga etc. The island and area around is lovely, you can find beautiful beaches.
The type of help I could do with is
gardening, painting and general maintenance , cleaning, cooking and organizing the linen .
For accommodation there is a spare bedroom and bathroom in the villa and at present, I can host up to 1 person.
Just so you know , I am almost vegetarian though I sometimes include fish in my diet to, so I would prefer a person with a similar diet, not much meat.
I am interested in arts, crafts and sculpture, Also design and making…it’s what I do when I can. I love being outdoors, and I lead an active healthy lifestyle most of the time and I’d say I’m friendly and open minded.
In my free time I enjoy cooking, eating healthy, meditation, yoga and creating .
I see this as an exchange, a place where one can lean into the local culture and where I can learn something too.
Skopelos has a lot to offer especially if you like the outdoors and Island life.
If you think this sounds good for you I am looking forward to hearing from you! Don't hesitate to ask any questions you have."
Activities & Shift
The help is mainly maintenance and gardening, for the end of the season this will be reorganizing the linen, with possible repairs. Cleaning, a deep clean under the beds etc, working out side which includes gardening, pruning and clearing some land.
If there is time painting walls inside the house.
So generally it is looking after the place!
Generally it’s the shifts start at an agreed time like 8.00 or 8.30 for five hours.
Rules
Being and person who respects others peoples property I expect people that come to respect the property and be clean.
