There's no review I could write that could encapsulate how incredible this experience has been. I am 21 years old, freshly graduated from school, but I'd say I learned more from Danielle than most classrooms have taught me. The work is rewarding, the location is serene, and to get to know Danielle is a privilege. I'll think about her and this experience for the rest of my life. You'd be doing yourself a great disservice to pass up this opportunity- the farm is a unique paradise.

My time with Danielle was amazing! The place is beautiful and the tasks were super chill. Danielle has this amazing savoir-faire that comes from a life full of adventures, and she's always happy to share it and introduce you to the culture. I love meeting people like her. Every corner of the house has a story or a fun memory — it's such a special place :)

I looked for a vacancy at the last minute and found this place and I couldn't be happier with the choice I made. Danielle is an INCREDIBLE person! Super caring, polite, humorous, cheerful, cooks amazing and full of intriguing stories... I loved meeting her! Django is the same as his mother! Very good humored, great taste in music, very intelligent, polite and showed me a lot of interesting places close to home. The house is very beautiful, full of history and great energy. From the bottom of my heart, I'm very happy to have met them and to have been able to help with the house. Gratitude!!

It was a very good experience. Danielle has a lot of knowledge about different things, she is funny and a very good cook 😊 the place was very comfortable and the visits to the different places near by were so worth it. Definitely a very nice experience in the countryside . You need to go by car if you want to want to go to the towns but there is castles and beautiful views that you can see if you go for a walk or a run. Loved my first experience as a worldpacker
