My stay at the home was a delightful surprise: five weeks filled with a perfect blend of work, laughter, cultural exchanges, serenity, and learning. Soeren's detailed explanations and tireless contributions enhance the beauty of the home. Chef Claudia's culinary delights added an extra layer of enjoyment, making every meal memorable. Claudia's attention to detail during my stay made the experience truly special. The place itself, surrounded by nature and meticulously cared for by Soeren, with Claudia's special touch. And Catalonya is in my heart now.

Being able to contribute to Sören was an incredible experience for me, in which I was able to learn more in depth about a sustainable environment in Catalonia. I spent great days with Cláudia (Chef without equal) and Sören, who has a clear and objective vision of what needs to be done and is available to explain as many times as necessary. I recommend the place

Life changing experience!!! Sõeren is a hard working man with a lot of knowledge, and one of his best qualities is that he has the empathy and the patience to teach you how to do the different techniques needed for the projects. He is someone who's willing to listen and consider the new ideas proposed to him. Claudia's great heart and details (great cheff)are present throughout the whole project, including each small detail of it. During the three weeks I had the honor ti participate in this project, I learnt to see the world and my life in general in a different perspective.

Working at the home with Sören and Claudia was an absolute blast. They have a beautiful property and a clear vision of what needs to be done to get their the home up and running. Sören was an excellent delegator and provided clear direction on what work needed to be done. They are very fair with your hours and respect your off time. Claudia would make lunch on work days and they provided fruits and veggies to make your own breakfasts and dinners. the home is in a small town but there is bus access to Arenys Del Munt and Arenys Del Mar with train access to Barcelona from the latter.
