Sarah and Andrew were great. They were very kind to us during our stay. We worked on a variety of projects with them from digging a trench, working in the garden, and closing down the pools for the season. Hours were laid out very clearly and they supported our adventures on days off. Would highly recommend staying with these great hosts! Food and company was exceptional

My partner and I stayed for two weeks in October and it was fantastic! Sarah and Andrew were so hospitable and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The hours and tasks were exactly what was agreed upon. We loved spending time learning in the garden and kitchen with Sarah and doing some renovation work with Andrew. We were very well fed and the accommodations and location were great. There are lots of towns, villages, and cities nearby to visit. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Huge thanks to Sarah and Andrew, missing you guys already!

I had an incredible experience that I would definitely repeat, accompanied by Sarah and Andrew, who are very kind and polite people. Their patience and love for what they do motivate you to improve every detail. I enjoyed learning about recycling and gardening, things I will put into practice. Connecting with nature was undoubtedly something magical, from planting a seed to listening to the sound of the birds. The place is so welcoming that it captivates you and makes you want to return. If you want a quiet place to learn and showcase your skills, this is the right place. 🪴🪏💕

I have had a really good and nice experience with Andrew and Sarah, who were very patients and always looking for something to do in their lovely house, there is many things to do so you will never feel bored here, also was nice to learn and put in practice some things like painting, repairing, doing pool maintenance or even growing and gardening. I liked to try every plate from the vegetables that were planted in their garden, which is a healthy and self-sustainable way to eat. I would highly recommend them 100%! 😁

From the moment we met Sarah and Andrew we felt immediately welcomed into their home. Our jobs consisted of cleaning, gardening and cooking and each were enjoyable and educational. Each day Sarah helped us cook delicious and healthy meals straight from the garden and provided us with anything extra we needed. Outside of working hours we were able to use the pool or explore the nearby towns. Sarah and Andrew's hospitality combined with the beautiful location of the home made this the perfect world packers experience. We would love to come again!
