Program Details

Worldpackers are expected to be respectful of the shared areas of the house.We are a small agritourism so we might have restaurant guests, therefore the house has to be always presentable. Help in the division of meals is also expected. Apart from this and basic cleaning rules, we are very flexible and relaxed! We can share with you our beautiful house and give you bikes and maps to explore these glorious surroundings. Also be mindful that you might have to share a (large) room and toilet with another volunteer so tell us if you have any preference or ask us if there is someone else already.

Activities & Shift

Managing an agricultural household is no easy job, believe us! We would like to be more precise on the task you could be doing, but they change with months and weeks! We know for sure there will be some cleaning, painting, wine bottling, jam making depending on when you come. If you are studying, working or have some necessities we can adapt to your schedule.

Rules

One rule is about the cleaning of your own room. We ask you to keep it in good order and clean it weekly. Another rule is to help in the household at mealtime, extra from the daily hours. This is because cooking for 5-6 requires a lot of energy!
