Muy generosa y predispuesta. Estoy muy agradecido con ella y su familia. Fue una experiencia hermosa. Un abrazo lissetteeeeeeee

The experience was a bit like living with a host family. I helped picking almonds in the morning and had the afternoon free. The region is very rural and has a lot of agriculture. There's not much that you can do there, which you should just be aware of. You might be able to visit a city nearby but that understandably depends on the family's schedule. Rafael and Mateo are nice and very open but do argue with each other and their mother like teenagers do. I am vegan and therefore helped quite a lot in the kitchen, as agreed upon before, and Lisette definitely was open for that.

This was my first volunteering experience and Lisette and her childreen made me feel welcome from the very beginning. The work was flexible and easy to manage – I mostly helped with the almond harvest – and Lisette is very fair with the hours, leaving plenty of free time to relax. The finca is off-grid and surrounded by beautiful nature, which makes it very peaceful, and Lisette even took the time to show me some of the nearby cities, which I really enjoyed. I'd recommend this experience to anyone who wants to help out with flexible tasks while enjoying family life and being close to nature.

Thank you so much for this positive review, Leonie! It was a real pleasure having you around and spending time with you. The temperature was sometimes a challenge, but we made it work. So that was good. I am looking forward to staying in touch with you. Big Spanish hugs! 😉😊🤗

Lisette was an amazing host and I will forever cherish the time I spent on her Finca. Each day brings something new, so be prepared to go with the flow of what is required to live on a finca. As a vegetarian, Lisette was very accommodating and I ate very well. There is also a nice balance of work and downtime, where you can get to know her wonderful family and owners of neighboring fincas. I wholeheartedly recommend this volunteer experience to anyone willing to put in the work because it is so rewarding.

Liesette is absolutely lovely! The finca is her house and she has two teenagers, we spent time together as she makes you feel part of the family. The work was well instructed and easy. Loved the pancakes breakfast and being spoiled haha It's far from cities but it's such a beautiful place, really peaceful! I shared the room with the other sweet volunteer, it was cozy! It was a enjoyable time, thank you Lisette S2

My time at Lisette's finca was a truly wonderful experience. Lisette is an incredibly caring and attentive person who always makes you feel like part of the family. Her kids are very creative and love spending time cooking together, which made the experience even more enjoyable. During my stay, Lisette had a specific project in mind that she wanted to accomplish, and I'm glad we were able to finish it on time. I really hope she gets to see the results of the vegetable garden very soon!

I had an amazing time with Lisette and her family! The Finca is beautiful, and the work was easy and reasonable. After contributing to the daily tasks, there is plenty of time to relax, and most evenings are spent watching movies with the kids. Katja was also really helpful, and I had a lot of fun working on the almond trees with her! The only downside to the position is that there isn't much privacy in the home and sometimes it can get a little awkward being in the middle of family affairs. That said, it wasn't a dealbreaker for me and I'd still be happy to come back!

Thanks for your feedback!
I always try to make volunteers feel at home, offering 1 of our 2 bedrooms while 1 of us sleeps on the couch. Living closely in a family home can have its challenges, and I’m grateful for the flexibility from volunteers.
As a single mom with two teenagers, things don’t always go as planned. I didn’t feel this was an issue during your stay, so I was surprised to see it mentioned here. Next time, please feel free to talk to me.
Thanks again and see you!

I had such a wonderful time with Lisette and her two beautiful children! Not only did I enjoy spending time with them and their four charming cats, but I also loved being surrounded by nature. This experience allowed me to reconnect with myself, learn so much about rural living, gardening, and becoming more self-sufficient. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking to feel at home in a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you, Lisette, for your kindness and hospitality. I will always cherish my time in Maella and the memories with your lovely family!

I've had precious moments at the farm. It's a magical place to be in touch with nature and oneself. Also the nights full of stars are amazing. There is a good variety of veg, fruits, etc. She is aware to live in a sustainable way. Lisette and the kids have been very kind and caring. I always felt I was part of the family. The tasks were easy & flexible. We had deep talks, prepared and enjoyed delicious food (Mateo and Rafa really enjoy cooking), we played games, sang along and had a great time at Maella. All these memories will always be in muy heart.
