If you're lucky to get approved to volunteer in the farm you probably gonna have an amazing time, just like me. There I could make a lot of friends, enjoy the amazing landscape and delicious food provided. Maria do everything she can to make all the team together as a family and making sure that everyone is having a amazing time. I highly recommend if you're looking for a comfortable, fun and beautiful place to be in, and also learn a lot working in the farm, kitchen or stables.

I got to spend an incredible summer , with all it's authenticity of rural living in a community. The people were just like a family, the exchange of cultures from all around the world was unique and hard to put in words. Connectivity to nature was like a soul-vacation, I personally grew by living in the community. The only bummer was I didn't feel like a part of the team in the stables, only caused by one guy who had no interest in me as a person. Unfortunately he was in charge of delegating the volunteer work. He ignored me despite I was putting in effort with my Spanish.

The best volunteer experience ever!! Maria and Adrian were extremely welcoming and made us feel a part of the nido family. The hours of work are respected and doesn't feel like work at all. Overall an amazing experience, could not recommend this enough.

Well I don't know how start. I feel like words can't describe my wonderful time I had at the farm. It was extraordinary! Every second there so perfect I wanted it to last forever ❤️ I experienced so many new things and I'm really grateful for them. Maria has created a special place, the Nido, where I felt like at home. It's true when I think of them as my family. Thanks to my volunteering experience I discovered new things about myself. I feel more confident and courageous than before. I really recommend everyone this place ❤️❤️❤️ Love you Maria !
