La Masia Alt Penedes
We offer volunteers the opportunity to be within easy reach to the small town charm of Spain but completely immersed in nature and only 1 hour from Barcelona city.
We are a husband and wife running a rural tourism venue at our 17th century masia. We have three lovely dogs we like to take on long strolls through the vineyards. We enjoy the simple pleasures of country living, open fires, home cooking and most of all the peace and quiet with a sprinkle of birdsong.

Had a great experience here. If you are looking to get away from city life and stay somewhere immersed in nature, then this is the place. Very calm and beautiful place to reset.

Our stay at La Masia Alt Penedes was so magical. We worked on very tangible and creative projects - specifically gardening and landscape design, we worked 2 weddings which was fun and I did some social media stuff which was a breeze because the grounds are so beautiful. I can’t recommend this stay enough. The region was beautiful and Sophie was very social able and went out of her way to be friendly, generous and show us some local restaurants. We also loved the puppies :)

Was lovely to have you both. I am sorry about the ant problem but great idea from Chris until the bug guy comes with his magic potion. It should be sorted soon. Hope you have fun travels in the south x

La experiencia fue hermosa, la Masia es un lugar soñado. Con mi novio ayudamos a renovar una zona del jardín y fue muy agradable ver el antes y después. Sophie siempre nos trató con respeto y amabilidad, Michael nos llevó a conocer caminos y recomendó lugares a donde ir. Hay transportes públicos para poder manejarse y conocer lugares independientemente.
Recomiendo este voluntariado y espero que podamos volver muy pronto <3

Este tipo de experiencias son las que le dan sentido a esta app. El trabajo fue acorde a lo que esperábamos, principalmente orientado a la jardineria pero pueden requerirse otras tares de mantenimiento. Tuvimos todo lo que necesitamos durante nuestra estadia y el lugar es un sueño, rodeado de montañas y vegetación. La Masía es preciosa y se puede disfrutar del lugar y de los caminos que están cerca. Desde Pontons se puede ir por el dia a Barcelona o a las playas de la zona. Sophie y Michael son muy simpáticos, tienen buen humor y estan abiertos a charlar de todo. Nos fuimos con ganas de volver

Sophie and Michael were very welcoming. The caravan was comfortable and the fridge was always well stocked with a variety of foods. The place and the work were as described.
Taking part in the photoshoot was definitely the highlight of the trip, along with some authentic Spanish experiences like learning how to cut a Jamón.
We had no previous gardening experience, but Sophie taught us a lot about various aspects of caring for the gardens. The natural pool was fabulous, and we loved hanging out with the dogs, Paco, Lady, and Rufus.

Emma and Marc came to volunteer during the hottest month of June I can remember so much of the outdoor work had to be rescheduled to cooler times of the day and the couple were happy to be flexible with working hours. They were great participants in the photoshoot and fun to spend time with socializing and playing board games.
