The Experience

We seek help to renovate an old wooden house. we already Insulationed it with straw and clay coat and then plastering with cob (a mixture of clay, sand and straw). We'll renovate by planing or standing the floor and inside walls. There will be two people with good experience coming from time to time to help us in the project. Helping hands will come from Samuel, an all-rounder to organize and instruct, from friends and volunteers.

We are glad we got to know such beautiful human soul. Paul was helping out wherever he could and he was despite his 18 years very independent, experienced and caring.
It is really nice talking to Paul and you feel like you have a friend around easily!

I love this place! Samuel and Julia are amazing, and they have a wonderful home. The hosts took us to a festival where there was a lot of delicious food, and to a pizza party. I saw a community of friendly, helpful people, and children with a lot of energy and strength to climb without fear. I learned how to make grapefruit juice. Every day is amazing. You can connect with nature and see truly happy animals

Host's are more than welcoming to all guests, the farm gives a great opportunity to conect with nature and rest your mind, the amount of work in not overbearing and its great to explore what the region has to offer, I've found some hidden gems there

Staying with Samuel and Julia was amazing and very inspiring. My friends and I spent time together in a wonderful atmosphere. We made delicious grape juice, worked in the garden and helped repair the roof. Julia and Samuel are very flexible. We spent our afternoons by the wonderful lake, which you can easily walk to. We are all very grateful for the opportunity for close contact with nature and playing cards together in the evenings.
