Finca Martina

If you like to be surrounded by nature and countryside then Finca Martina is the place for you. The views by day and by night are stunning and it can be incredibly peaceful. If you're interested in the outdoors, walking, hiking, or just relaxing, you can do it all here.

We have lived here for nearly 5 years and have accumulated two cats and two dogs, two chickens and a donkey! The bunk room volunteers use has its own private external entrance, so you can be independent without disturbing us. We're easy going and happy to trust you to get on with what needs to be done and giving you peace and privacy too.

There was an ant infestation throughout the 3 weeks we were there with no help provided until the last few days after asking for numerous help for the matter, James was lovely but Paul was not, unhelpful we weren’t offered a lift once to the town and forced to walk an hour in the heat whenever we did our shopping, incredibly vague about tasks and then complained that we weren’t spending enough time doing work when we weren’t assigned enough to fill out our 5 hours of work, would not recommend for younger people

We offer all of our volunteers lifts into and out of town for shopping as our reviews show, Adam never asked for this.

Ants are always attracted by food and we tried to explain this to Adam. We gave Adam various remedies to try and help him.

We ask volunteers to clean their room before they leave us, which Adam didn't do. While we were cleaning the room the cause of the problem was obvious, there were food crumbs on the floor attracting the ants.

There are now no ants there.

It is really important to us that our volunteers feel comfortable throughout their stay, part of that involves mutual trust.

Sadly with Adam things did not work out and we had to ask him to leave early.

A finca fica em uma região lindíssima! Acordar e ver as montanhas todos os dias era muito bom! Com certeza você precisa estar com algum outro voluntário, o trabalho é tranquilo mas é bem solitário. A vila de Casarabonela é charmosa, e para visitar Málaga precisa ficar atento os horários de ônibus para ir e voltar. Duas semanas são suficientes.

I spent two weeks with my partner at Finca Martina. We just met Paul, who made us very welcome. Our tasks were basically to keep things clean, organize and clean the two rooms they rent out to guests. We also did some gardening and picked some olives. It was easy to fit in around our remote jobs. The property is very beautiful, it’s quiet, and the nearby village is really nice. Overall, I would recommend it to other volunteers.

I spent 3 weeks here with my partner and loved it! Paul and James were very welcoming, always happy to answer any questions or give suggestions.
The property is a bit isolated however the village is easy to get to and it was easy to get into Malaga for day trips if you wanted.
The work was a nice change of pace from doing daily chores to some maintenance work.
Overall I'd highly recommend this work away!

My partner and I spend 3 weeks here with James and Paul, during that time our work mostly consisted of daily tasks (make sure the place is neat and tidy) as well as occasional guest checkout clean and tidy tasks. Besides those we also did some painting, digging, and stone wall building. There was a lot of down time during the hot period of the days and Casarabonela is quite a small town so I highly recommend that you have something to keep you busy when you're not doing tasks (work, study, etc). The hosts James and Paul are super lovely people, this is a perfect place for a new world packer!
