My time at the home Duveilla was wonderful! Faye and her family are the kindest souls who make you feel at home instantly! The tasks are very well explained and the work is difficult but rewarding. When the weather allows, there is some nice scenery for bike rides and the games room offers a space for volunteers to play ping pong or darts. I especially enjoyed the home cooked meals and the comforting albeit slightly crazy family dinners! Thank you for such an amazing time at the home, I highly recommend :))

Faye and her family were wonderful hosts! Faye explained how she wanted each task to be done at the beginning of the day and if I had any questions she was always willing to answer. Since some days the tasks were very quick to complete I would help another volunteer so we could finish them quickly and enjoy the free time. I loved all the time I spent at the home: working, petting Scratchy, riding the bike around the little town, having dinner together and chatting and then learning to play chess in the games room!!

I've spent really good time in the home! Faye is a wonderful warm person. All the tasks were well organized and instructions very clear. Food and accommodation were absolutely great. Each day we had dinner together and it was delicious and nutritious. There is a gameroom available for volunteers so we could spend our free time playing ping pong or darts which was fun. Its the perfect place to relax slow down and spend long lazy days out in the sun surrounded by nature. There wasn't really much more to do besides bike rides or reading which for more than 3 weeks could get a bit boring.

I had a really nice time at the home. The house is full of charm and the surrounding nature quite peaceful. Faye is a great host, very attentive and respectful. I especially appreciated her cooking vegetarian variations of dinner for me every day. Work is clearly structured, everybody gets their own to-do list, which is is nice because it allows for clear communication and flexibility regarding working hours. At the same time it could make the experience feel a little too transactional at times. Although that is surely just a matter of personal preference. Overall big recommendation :)

Staying at the home was a great first volunteer experience. Faye and the family are so sweet always made me feel welcome. After dinner we sometimes played card or board games making it feel like home. The tasks were layed out at the beginning of they stay and you can always ask questions for clarification and Faye walks you through specifics.

This place has an amazing location, there is a lake pretty close and you can see the Pyrenees, not to mention about the atmosphere of this old-fashioned building. The tasks were nice and pretty demanding, sometimes I felt them too much. Faye and Ben are kind and the food was delicious. I really liked that I could cycling and playing ping pont and darts with the other volunteers in the game room. P.S. I MISS YOU SCRATCHY

I've had a very good experience at the home, Faye is a very kind, respectful and charming host, I also enjoyed meeting other volunteers, sharing fun moments and enriching cultural experiences, the room was spacious and warm enough, the bathroom was shared with other volunteers and I was free to prepare my own breakfast and lunch meals, everything was explained at the beginning and Faye also answered any questions I Had, we've shared good and fun conversations on diner time, the workload and and tasks met up with what's described.

This experience was quite enjoyable. On the one hand, the family is always willing to listen to you and attend to your concerns or needs. Thus, the tasks and working hours are comfortable and challenging but you always feel the gratitude given by the host. And on the other hand, the meals cooked by the host are gorgeous besides being a space for interaction with the volunteers and family. If you are looking for an experience of cultural exchange and disconnection but connection with nature, this is a very good opportunity.

My experience at the home was fantastic. Faye and her family are welcoming and always enthusiastic to chat about the day. The tasks were challenging but rewarding and the schedule made these tasks easy to complete. The meals in the evenings cooked by Faye was a highlight each day and made finishing the tasks for the day even more rewarding. Overall I believe this volunteer experience is one of a kind and the best I have done so far without a doubt. Thankyou to the home!
