The guest house, The name itself reflects the experience you will have here. I lived 100% in the present, and if you yearn to live in the moment, it wasn't difficult to feel that here. From the first day of getting to know the place, I already felt at home and welcomed. I learned a lot, both from other people and from my own self-awareness. I unlocked my English and rediscovered myself. Thank you all, enjoy the journey 🤍

To be honest, I am shocked from my volunteer experience at the guest house!! The memories I made here were the best of my life. I made so many friends through other volunteers, staff, and guests. You have to explore this location for yourself!! I felt like family the first day I arrived, and I will never forget this place; it holds a particular place in my heart. I am so grateful for everyone at the guest house; thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your team. If I could explain my experience in one word, it would be: BLESSED

The Villa is a space that connects you to your tribe, whatever that is. The environment and energy of the Villa itself,the employees , Villa guests and volunteers is a very harmonious flow of integrated connection.Its easy to make it your home away from home. I especially loved their activities that always created an opportunity to mix and mingle with different people from all over the world. I learnt so much including becoming a barista and bar assistant . The place is central and close to many tourist activities. Perfect is what I think it is. Thank you Moritz and your team.

My experience at the guest house was beautiful. The place became a home for me and during the three months the whole crew felt like a family. I can totally recommend this experience as the task and shifts were also very reasonable and the work is a lot of fun as well :) thank you the guest house for this amazing time!!
