The Experience

Necesito ayuda con la finca y la casa en las siguientes actividades: limpieza de la casa, de caminos y finca; sembrar, plantar, recoger & quitar malas hierbas (esto es en huerta y podríamos decir que es el trabajo principal); limpiar el bosque y encontrar los olivos y las cepas de vino que queden vivos; cocinar. Siempre necesito ayuda en todas las labores de la finca... pero sin estrés! :)

Where do I start from? It was my first time volunteering, and I truly enjoyed my stay here. Ivan and Paola are super nice, they took care of me like I was their younger sister. And Paola's dishes were really delicious. The work wasn't too difficult, and working schedules were flexible. And the dog, Asia is really a gentle one 😍. I also had time to explore the beautiful city of Ourense. A bonus point- I learnt how to ride a bike here. Special thanks to my fellow volunteer- Philippine for teaching me. Thanks once again for the nice times🙂, I definitely recommend volunteering here!

I had the best time at Ivan's and Paula's place. They make you feel at home from the moment you step into their home. The property is located in a remote areas (12Km from the main city), but you have a bus stop close by, as well as a bike to go explore the beautiful surroundings. I enjoyed the work. For me it was general maintenance: weeding, picking up fruits, leaves, making compost... The house is a typical old Spanish house, it's no 5 star hotel but it's cosy, and you have wifi for digital nomads and your private bedroom. Ideal for people who wants to be in the countryside and the nature.

Unbelievable! This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing! Ivan is so kind and always will help you if anything, Paola's dishes were delicious and Asia is the best dog i even knew! The work was ok, sometimes a bit hard but sometimes easier couldn't be. I spent an incredible month here with another volunteer…. The nature of Galicia will make your soul sing and the most important, that this place makes people closer and happier, that's for sure. And will make you miss time spent here every day..!

Our stay on the farm was overall very pleasant. The working hours were rather short and the dog, Asia was a very sweet one. We had a lot of freedom regarding our free time. However, it was quite cold at night, because we came here in late October. We feel like we should also note that the hygiene conditions in the house could be improved, as there were mice in the kitchen. Nevertheless, Iván was very welcoming towards us.

Es verdad que había un ratoncito en la cocina que acabamos con el lo más rápido que pudimos
La casa estaba perfectamente limpia e higiénica cuando ellas llegaron... Pero como ellas, aúnq se lo repetimos varias veces, no limpiaron en los 15 días que estuvieron... (ni el baño después de ducharse) pues cada día estaba la casa un poquito más sucia, que ya se soluciono el mismo día que ellas se fueron

We appreciate the experience and the time we spent with Ivan's family. We were very welcomed and ate very good food with Paola. Unfortunately we had to leave sooner than expected but Ivan tried to help us the most he could. We are very grateful for the time we spent together.
