Yannick, Laetitia and Noa are welcoming and make you feel like one of the family. They are forthcoming and generous with their knowledge about permaculture, sustainable living and herbology, encouraging you to learn and ask questions. Especially good if you're looking to learn French as this is often spoken around the home. Tasks are varied and interesting, the animals are lovely (especially Amarela the goat). The experience is very remote, there are beautiful walks around. There is a cafe in the local village (15 minute walk) but anything else is difficult to get to without a car. Thank you

I am so grateful for this experience. From the very first moment you feel so welcome and included in the family. You will hear lots of exciting stories during the meals together and there is plenty to laugh about. The food is incredibily tasty and healthy. The work varies and is always doable and fun. The animals are all super lovely and I recommend it if you want to spend time in nature. I learned a lot about farm work. They have a very respectful approach to their animals and nature and you learn about a sustainable way of living. Thank you so much for everything!!

Laetitia, Yannik and Noa are a great family with a respectful and patient approach to permaculture and farming. They are very open and welcoming, and have been very generous with their time and knowledge. I came to this experience to take a break from the city and connect with nature, but I left with so much more! The work was fun and fulfilling. It could become physically challenging at times, but nothing that a good night sleep can not fix. A special mention to the food: so delicious and nutritious. This was my first WP experience, and I'm really thankful that it was at the farm.

Work is physical but very approachable by everyone and the tasks vary every day so you don't get bored, also the working times are respected every time. In conclusion I will recommend this experience and enjoy your time in this farm.

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing. The hosts are incrediblely welcoming. I felt at home right away. I got to spend time with plenty of animals and got to learn a lot about farming. Also learned how to live in a sustainable way. Got to meet other volunteers who were very nice. Laetitia and Yannick are incredible people and I would recommend this farm to everyone. The only thing I would mention is that the farm is a bit isolated. However, the hosts will take you on some tours on the weekends to visit nearby cities and/or parks.

This was my first world packers experience and it was lovely. Some of the work is quite physical but there is a lot of different jobs to do to change it up after hard work. The people are lovely and we had many nice meals and good laughs together. Be aware that you are in a very small town, if you want to go to the next bigger city you would need to get a ride from the hosts. Overall definitly recommend, thank you for everything! :)

This was one of the best months i have ever had! The work is physical but definitely doable as they make sure that there is enough variety. I arrived with almost no knowledge of gardening, animal care etc but they were very patient with me and they explained everything from the beginning till the end. I learned so much during my stay, about way more than only farming as they are very interesting people. They are a very genuine, accepting and funny family. We were laughing all day long and i felt really welcome from the first day. I would recommend this host to everybody who gets the chance!!

J'ai passé un séjour très agréable chez cette famille! Je me suis sentie accueillie dès le premier jour. Ce sont des gens généreux, drôles et sincères. C'est très agréable de travailler avec eux, le travail est bien expliqué et les horaires sont respectés. Les repas pris tous ensemble sont délicieux et on ne s'ennuie pas avec leurs histoires et anecdotes! La ferme est un peu isolée, mais il y a de très beaux endroits pour marcher. Je recommande vivement cette expérience!

J'ai passé un excellent séjour au Portugal, accueilli chaleureusement par une famille extraordinaire. Le lieu où se trouvait la famille était tout simplement magnifique, entouré de paysages sublimes. Ce séjour m'a offert de très beaux souvenirs et partager ce quotidien m'a réellement enrichi. Je recommande vivement cette expérience à quiconque souhaite s'immerger en pleine nature et dans un mode de vie durable.
