It is a very beautiful place, full of charming places to explore. But in reality there are several aspects that can be uncomfortable, for example, for me and several companions, we arrived at the place and we didn't know what to do because no one waited for us at the entrance and we didn't know where to go, no one explained anything to us about the place or where. We were going to sleep, when, in my case, I managed to get to the room, they did not have clean sheets and there was no one from the place to ask, almost the volunteers themselves tried to help with that but they dont know about that

The people there were nice and the castle was Beautiful. But it was too far away from “the civilization” there was only one bus a day to the next town/village.

My experience at the eco village was truly amazing. It is a very calm and relaxing place. The working hours were always respected and often even cut short. Everyone met you with a lot of greatfulness for the work that you were doing. Once you get to know the people of the community, they are most of the time very open and kind.

The eco village is a great place for anyone interested in learning about ISKCON and people who enjoy spending time outdoors. The surroundings and the castle are beautiful! Due to our packed schedule, we didn't have as much free time to explore as I had expected. Also, the next town is pretty far and there's only one bus per day. (that's why I can only give 3 stars) But it is a good place to meet many new people:)

The eco village community was super inviting and grateful throughout my stay. I learnt so much about their practices, about farming and about different parts of the world though other volunteers. I would have loved if tasks were chosen at the start of the week instead of chosen daily just to add more structure to the week. Crash courses would also bode well for understanding the culture. Activies and tasks done as a group would also be amazing with strengthening bonds between volunteers. Overall I had a great experience and loved my stay there.

This was a unique and fun experience, and most everyone here was kind and welcoming. Do research about the Hare Krishna before coming, but you don't have to get involved with the spirituality aspects. You have to be covered from shoulders to knees, which is pretty strictly enforced. The work hours were respected, and there is plenty of good food so you will never be hungry! There was often no toilet paper or hand soap in the guest bathrooms, but conditions were otherwise perfect. Beautiful grounds, and towns within walking distance.

My experience in NM upon arriving was a challenge, it is a little far from the city, the culture, the food and even the language are different from mine 😅 however, as I got to know the beautiful place and each of the people who live in the eco village, I realized that we are very similar, people with principles and values with a common goal, they care about your well-being, if you need something or have questions, they will be there for you, Nitai was one of They, always looking out for us, Giri, Batiste, the Director, everyone. Always kind and nice to us! I carry them in my heart🥰 Thank you NM!

La ecovila fue una experiencia agridulce. Por una parte, conocer a personas de varias partes del mundo fue de lo mejor. Me llevo grandes amistades de por vida. Fue una práctica de intercambio muy rica y propicia para practicar de nuevo mi inglés. Trabajé con Nayana (limpieza del castillo), Sybil (recolectar los cubos de basura y llevarlos a la carretera), Chandni (servir comida) y la persona encargada del Dining Hall (limpieza de sillas y ventanas); personas muy amables todas ellas. Cada experiencia me ayudó a desarrollar habilidades para ser un adulto funcional. Mi agradecimiento siempre.

Nitai, the supervisor, is very kind, attentive and gave me all the support I needed. Every morning we are given tasks and we can 'choose' what we prefer to do that day. Tasks are well explained and working hours respected, as well as days off. I helped with gardening, in the woods, cleaning and washing dishes. Everyone there was extremely welcoming and they appreciate . Keep in mind that there is a large religious presence (Hare Krishna), so this is the place if you want to learn more about the subject, otherwise, make sure you will feel comfortable with that. :)

The castle is located 1h from Chatearoux, in an isolated area but surrounded by nature. Working hours were respected, as were days off . The activities were basically housekeeping, gardening and wood. The supervisor responsible (Nitai) for organizing the tasks was super attentive and always tried to adapt it to what you wanted to do that day. Meals were not always nutritious, considering the work done. Regarding the project, the Hare Krishna movement is strongly present, providing an opportunity for anyone who wants to learn and be in contact with this religion :)
