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.

About the experience in: Pontons, Spain
Argentina
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.

Sophie and Michael were very welcoming and hospitable hosts. We were able to use the gardens and swim in the fabulous natural pool when there were no guests.
The work was hard, but Sophie took good care to make sure we were staying safe in the heat and not spending too much time in the sun.
We had a great time taking part in the photoshoot and hanging out with the other people involved in the shoot. The three dogs, Paco, Lady, and Rufus, were really sweet as well. The place itself is really beautiful, and I definitely recommend this experience for people who love spending time in nature.

This was my first volunteering experience and it couldn’t have been better. The place is incredible, with a deep connection to nature that made every day special. Sophie and Ruby were amazing hosts, they made me feel welcome from the start, always kind and easy to connect with.
The team we formed was great, and I learned a lot about setting up event scenarios and decoration. Watching Sophie create the photoshoot concepts and being part of it was a unique experience that helped me grow personally and professionally.
Thank you all for such an unforgettable opportunity!
