Place is beautiful and so are the people. It is isolated, so having a car is ideal. It is a huge property. A keto diet is offered. Food is delicious. Only one meal a day is cooked at dinnertime and the amount is rather small. You have access to what is available in the kitchen throughout the day. I left early due to my input not being considered a fair trade. Aside from regular duties I had projects that were beyond my abilities. Most of the work is outside. Unnoticed work will not be acknowledged. Ceremony time is considerable and will not account. I would recommend to the right person.
