I had such an amazing time staying at Michele's bnb. I had a unique experience as Michele and her daughter were on holiday during my dates—but that didn't matter. Michele was very attentive and helpful even over the phone. Always being clear with tasks and communicating with care. I truly felt welcomed and appreciated. The work was simple and versatile, never a boring day. The apartment itself is beautiful and a credit to Michele and Stacey. Neighbors and friends of Michele were also always there to help. It's clear Michele is used to taking Volunteers due to her kind and respectful attitude.

My stay with Michele was fantastic! From the very beginning and throughout the entire time, I felt incredibly welcome and respected. The house is beautiful, and with two dogs and three cats, it feels very lively. At the same time, your privacy is fully respected, so it's never a problem if you want to take some time for yourself. The tasks are very simple and manageable—there's no expectation of perfection; rather, it's about learning new things and gaining experience. So if you want to enjoy nature in southern France and take some city trips, this is the perfect opportunity!

The tasks were quite simple as they mostly consisted of household chores and they were very respectful of my time. The town itself is beautiful and surrounded by nature, but with that said, it had VERY limited shops nearby; Which is why it was a bit hard considering you only get breakfast and they barely cook. My room was okay but the rest of the house was rather unkept and unless you can ignore mess and dirt, it's not the most ideal situation. When I mentioned these things to the host, it felt unaccepted but I hope they improve for the next volunteers.

This experience is great for anyone who wants to find calmness and peace explore a very unique part of France and likes nature! The host is very helpful and understanding and always respects the hours and days agreed! You have your own private room and Michelle provides breakfast and snacks! The village is very small with only 3 restaurants and a mini market but you can use the bicycle provided or walk to explore the surroundings it's very safe! There are also buses until 18.00! The work included painting the walls cleaning the house and making breakfast for the guests! Amazing experience!
