The experience

German-speaking caretakers for Gabriella's Garden on Crete wanted

For October and November 2026 I am looking for a reliable person, a couple, or two good friends who would like to become part of Gabriella's Garden for a few weeks.

Gabriella's Garden is not an ordinary hotel. It is a special place by the sea on Crete, where art, nature and hospitality come together.

Program Details

That's especially important to me

You should speak German so that you can communicate well with my father. He also lives on the property and is happy about friendly people around him.

Your tasks
take care of the chickens and rabbits
check on my father daily
keep his kitchen tidy and support him a bit in daily life
occasionally clean guest rooms and keep things in order
handle small tasks in the garden
simply be present and create a pleasant atmosphere

It's not about working eight hours a day. What matters more is that someone is there who takes responsibility and contributes to the place.
