Chateau Duviella
We are a very sociable, family home, with many volunteers, children, dogs which makes for a fun and relaxed environment. We do all work hard during the day, which makes the relaxation time even sweeter at the end of each day.
Volunteers and guests are treated respect, each volunteer is given a list of projects and task for them to do during their stay with us and it is their own responsibility to manage their own time. We provide a comfortable home, good food and relaxed company and in exchange we ask for your motivation and time.

About the experience in: Landes, France

Staying at the Chateau was a great first volunteer experience. Faye and the family are so sweet always made me feel welcome. After dinner we sometimes played card or board games making it feel like home. The tasks were layed out at the beginning of they stay and you can always ask questions for clarification and Faye walks you through specifics.

My time at Chateau Duveilla was wonderful! Faye and her family are the kindest souls who make you feel at home instantly! The tasks are very well explained and the work is difficult but rewarding.
When the weather allows, there is some nice scenery for bike rides and the games room offers a space for volunteers to play ping pong or darts. I especially enjoyed the home cooked meals and the comforting albeit slightly crazy family dinners!
Thank you for such an amazing time at the chateau, I highly recommend :))

I enjoyed getting to explore the local area with the students and kids and play fun English games. Thank you for taking care of me this week!

Faye and her family were wonderful hosts! Faye explained how she wanted each task to be done at the beginning of the day and if I had any questions she was always willing to answer. Since some days the tasks were very quick to complete I would help another volunteer so we could finish them quickly and enjoy the free time. I loved all the time I spent at Chateau Duviella: working, petting Scratchy, riding the bike around the little town, having dinner together and chatting and then learning to play chess in the games room!!

La host fue muy linda y su familia igual, no te va a faltar nada, las habitaciones de los hombres son muy cómodas pero hace mucho frio en ellas en la mañana, el trabajo (mínimo en el ámbito de jardinería) es mas duro de lo que uno espera pero no es molestia si disfrutas del trabajo duro
