Amy and Matt are very kind and attentive. The assigned tasks are related to maintaining the garden and helping around the house (housekeeping), nothing complicated, and the schedules are flexible. The house they provide is super lovely and comfortable; you have everything you need to feel at ease (kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine). The region is very beautiful and peaceful, and there’s a lake nearby. The city center is just a 10-minute bike ride away. It was a very positive experience, and one I would definitely repeat.

Very cool place, the property is big and often needs very boring repetitive tasks but I think the work was fair for the exchange. I will say if you have a fear of bugs this place is NOT for you, also a VERY dusty property. Overall the hosts are super flexible and nice I would note extra that they do not provide meals and the groceries in this town are very expensive and so are the limited restaurants. If you are looking for a quiet space to clear your head this is a good space. If you want an exciting experience or a communal one I would look else where. Also the if you I enjoyed my stay!

Amy and Matt were very kind and welcoming, and staying in their guesthouse was a unique countryside experience. The area is peaceful with nature all around and a lake nearby, though it’s a bit isolated and transport is limited. Their dog is adorable, and the family was lovely.

The work was straightforward (gardening, housework, laundry, cleaning) and we had plenty of free time. Things were sometimes a bit disorganized due to renovations, and Wi-Fi is weak, but overall it was a positive stay. I’d recommend it for those looking for a quiet countryside experience with flexible, kind hosts.

Amy and Matt were great hosts. I enjoyed my time connecting with nature, helping with some painting, cleaning, and maintenance jobs around their beautiful farmhouse and garden, and even spent some quality time with their very cute Bichon. It is quite rural, so beware of spiders. But overall, it's a great opportunity if you're looking for an escape from the city in rural French life. There is great olive oil and wine, and the environment encourages lots of walking. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is a great stay with quite a bit of flexibility of working hours and tasks.

I really enjoyed my time here. Amy and Matt were both lovely and friendly. They were great at giving jobs that matched your skills and what you want to be doing. For me that was outside in the gardens. The location is great, a good place to slow down and enjoy life. The town and lake were great to explore and both easily accessible by bike.
The wifi got fixed on my last day there so everything is back connected.
