    We are a small guesthouse hosting groups of friends, families or retreats for week-long stays in the summer. It is an exceptionally beautiful place, has an interesting history, and attracts lovely guests. English speaking and EU citizenship is needed.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You'll get an idea of life in a very rural, very un-touristy and very beautiful part of Greece.

    You'll interact with our guests, who are generally either groups from the UK or an international mix.

    We eat our meals all together and you'll get an idea of how a small, friendly hotel runs, as well as anything else you'd like to learn about from the huge variety that goes on around the estate - from bee-keeping and yoga to fixing old cars!

    Help

    We're looking for help from June through to September, from someone who can stay for at least two months but ideally for the whole period.

    The main jobs are:
    Cleaning guest rooms on changeover day (hoovering and bathroom cleaning).
    Light cleaning of guest rooms on other days.
    Washing and ironing of bed linen.
    Assistance laying the table for dinner and clearing it up.
    Help in the vegetable garden.

    Hours are fairly flexible (except on changeover days), but would be approximately 9.30am-1.30pm and 6pm-10pm five days a week. We'll pay Greek minimum wage for every hour worked.
