I spent two weeks with my partner at the guest house. We just met Paul, who made us very welcome. Our tasks were basically to keep things clean, organize and clean the two rooms they rent out to guests. We also did some gardening and picked some olives. It was easy to fit in around our remote jobs. The property is very beautiful, it's quiet, and the nearby village is really nice. Overall, I would recommend it to other volunteers.

I spent 3 weeks here with my partner and loved it! Paul and James were very welcoming, always happy to answer any questions or give suggestions. The property is a bit isolated however the village is easy to get to and it was easy to get into Malaga for day trips if you wanted. The work was a nice change of pace from doing daily chores to some maintenance work. Overall I'd highly recommend this work away!

I had an excellent experience on my first volunteering trip. the guest house is situated in a beautiful, tranquil region, offering stunning scenery—a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Paul and James were welcoming and always treating us with respect and attentiveness. My volunteer partner, Olivia, was great company during the workdays; we had fun together and delivered outstanding results. The animals at the finca were also excellent companions during our downtime, especially Leo, a gentle dog who was always by our side.

We had a great time volunteering at the guest house. James and Paul were very welcoming and very helpful regarding visiting the local village Casarabonela, doing grocery shopping etc. We did a great variation of different tasks and their cute dog Leo always followed us around. Would 100% recommend!
