I had a wonderful time at the Vila ! Victor and Tais , but also the team are really nice. They speak English very well so it's easy to have a real conversation. The tasks weren't difficult at all, even if you don't know how to do it, they will always explain it to you ! I felt really confortable there, everything is so well organised , it's one of the thing I most appreciate. Thank you so much for everything you've done for us 😁

This was an incredible experience even in the Brazilian winter (that isn't really one). Victor and the whole team are so nice and understanding, they made me feel very confortable. I liked the fact that everything was organised and clear, they were no surprises. I did many different things and learn't so much, I was never bored. This week really allowed me to reconnect with nature and empty my mind. Thank you for everything, I will never forget this experience.

Victor and the team at the project were some of the kindest, down to earth people I have had the privilege to meet during my travels. A truly unique, character-building, fun experience where you will learn lots about sustainability, bio-construction and environmentally friendly practice! The work can be physically tough but very rewarding. The project does an amazing job with its volunteers and gives them freedom to look after themselves and the space which I truly appreciated. Thank you Vila! I can recommend this to anyone looking to get in touch with nature and be educated.

My partner and I spent two weeks at the project, and we had the best time. Victor, Cate and Isa were so lovely and we really enjoyed our time with them. We learnt a lot about bio construction and sustainable living. When travelling, you are constantly moving around, so it was so great to just slow down and immerse ourselves in nature and a different lifestyle for a couple of weeks. We couldn't have asked for better hosts and we would highly recommend this experience! Thank you Victor and the team for making our time at Vila so special. Best wishes for the future, you will be missed! X
