Staying with Helena was an excellent experience. She is an extremely kind, generous, and attentive host. She provided all meals and a warm, very comfortable place to stay. The tasks were simple and enjoyable, such as walking her lovely dogs, Rufi and Pluto, and helping with small daily chores. The food was always delicious. Helena's hospitality truly stands out, and we highly recommend her as a Worldpackers host.

Helena was the best host I've had on Worldpackers so far. From the first day, she made us feel very welcome and was always well organized with daily tasks and fixed working hours. The work was fair and simple, such as walking the dogs (Rufi and Pluto <3) and cutting firewood. She respected our personal space and was always willing to help, whether by giving us rides or lending us the car when needed. She also prepared delicious lunches, which made the experience even better. The house is very comfortable, and the overall experience was excellent. I highly recommend Helena <3

Helena fue una anfitriona de maravilla!! Nos fue a buscar a la estación, nos cocino al menos una vez al día MUY rico y variado. Ademas nos daba a elegir los alimentos para el resto de las comidas. (Lógicamente los gustos personales debe pagarlos uno.) Las actividades fueron pasear a los perros y pintar una puerta, retirar las malezas del jardín, y Ulises realizo tareas eléctricas. Ella siempre se mostró muy respetuosa de nuestros tiempos y espacio. También nos invito al festival de la Sopa en un pueblo cercano, nos encanto! Y compartimos un Asado Argentino🙌🏽. Estamos muy agradecidos Helena ♥️

A senhora Helena é hospitaleira e divertida, além de ser excelente cozinheira, sempre nos proporcionando ótimas refeições e momentos agradáveis com bons vinhos. Tem consciência ambiental e muito conhecimento sobre alimentação saudável. As tarefas eram simples como pintura, manutenção, jardinagem e passear uma vez por dia com seus cachorros. Fazíamos tudo na parte da manhã e tirávamos o restante da tarde para descansar, ver séries e/ou andar pelo pacato vilarejo, onde é possível colher uvas e figos pelas ruas. Nos dias de folga podíamos utilizar o carro dela para visitar cidades próximas.

Figos, uvas, pêssegos, maçãs e oliveiras faziam parte do nosso dia durante a estadia em a casa. Nossas tarefas foram: passear com os cachorros, pintura, jardinagem, organização, limpeza e presença. Tive a valorosa oportunidade de poder ter contato com a natureza em a casa e a senhora Helena, com sua generosidade e clareza, tornou nossa experiência mais amigável e confortável. Aprendemos sobre a cultura local, alimentação e tempo presente. Obrigada por nos receber! Helena, Cheetah, Rufi e Pluto estarão para sempre em nossas memórias com muito carinho.

Helena is a wonderful woman who made my first volunteering experience unforgettable. She cooks delicious and different lunches every day, and her home is cozy and welcoming. I fell in love with her sweet cat and two lovely dogs. Our tasks included walking the dogs, painting, gardening, organizing, and other DIY projects. I really enjoyed my time there and learned a lot. One thing to keep in mind is that the house is in a very quiet and remote area, so there's not much around. It's the perfect place if you're looking to disconnect, enjoy nature, and have a peaceful routine.

Helena was amazing, super friendly and welcoming. The communication was great, she explained the tasks very clearly and we had great conversations over lunch. The tasks were very reasonable and working hours very good too. Helena is also an amazing cook, we ate something new everyday, and the food was very good and healthy. 100% recommend.

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing! Helena was a wonderful host, very kind and communicative. The tasks were well explained and she was always available to help us with any questions. We loved the mornings walking the dogs through the nature. We had everything we needed in the apartment, which was very cozy. Helena made delicious lunches, we tried many different foods and during those lunch moments we were able to have very nice conversations. I recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys nature and a peaceful place.

Helena was an easy going host and the accommodations provided were very comfortable and private. I'm a down to earth person so I appreciated her down to earth personality. I only stayed 5 days and I helped with the dogs, the yard and bringing Helena to a medical appointment. She was so kind to let me use her car as the home is very rural with not much around for being a tourist. Helena provided any food I wanted and made lovely lunches. I enjoyed my quiet stay at her home.
