Valerie is a calm and easy-going person; she and her family are very friendly and organized. the hostel is a truly incredible and peaceful place where you can hike in the mountains, explore the Calanques, and also enjoy the beaches. Your house is only a 10-minute walk from the center where there are several restaurants. It will be a pleasure for me to return soon, not to mention the friends I made during my stay.

Valérie and her partner are very nice,polite and respectful. Good wifi, but no proper area to work remotely. You work 3 days to get 1 free. Tasks aren't complicated, but can be heavy if the hostel is full in the day off of the 2nd vonlunteer, so you have to do it all by yourself. You stay in the same dorm as guests and there is no reception, so you gotta receive them and some bother you in your free time asking for help/info. Kitchen is small: 1 stove (no oven or microwave), fits 1 person at once, the mini fridge gets easily full - I think volunteers should be in the dorm with the big kitchen.

First volunteering experience and it was great. Valérie was super nice and supportive, everyday she texted us with the daily tasks (light work) which lasted between 3-4 hrs. the hostel is a very beautiful town with nature all around, the house is located within 10mins of most places in the hostel. During low season the dorm is very calm and lonely, when high season start the dorm is always full. I will forever remember my stay with Valérie!

Valerie is an amazing host. First of all, she accepted my application instantly. 🤭 She is very kind, polite and treated me with respect. the hostel is simply beautiful. For those who like the sea and hiking, it is perfect. The property is small. If you are the kind of handy person who knows how to da little bit of everything and add something different to the property other than just cleaning, you will be welcome. There is only room for one volunteer. I hand-sewed curtains for the bunk beds myself. Now you will have privacy in bed. 🤭
