We had the most amazing time staying with Danielle! We enjoyed the work set out for us- was not too demanding and we were able to complete it at our own pace in the sun! Just bear in mind the schedule does fluctuate and is mostly manual labour. Danielle is a lovely lady with so many incredible stories to tell and welcomes you so warmly into her home. She is a wonderful cook all the food is very healthy and organic. We are already missing our stay and hope to return again someday! Thank you Danielle!

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!!
