At the community, you can make friends with over 100 other international volunteers, you can improve your humanistic skills (farming, cooking, animal care, etc), and you can come to truly understand a simpler, focused, and more real life. From the (sometimes challenging) work, to the endless conversations, to the craziness of the shared kitchen, you feel tired, but accomplished after each day. the community is a special community, and if you like learning and meeting other travelers in a busy but tranquil environment, the community will provide a wonderful experience for your life.

I really enjoyed this experience, I left one month ago and it still hurts not being there. They create a project that is able to make connections. I really love it!

Dear Giulio,

It was a real pleasure having you with us! You were a great help in every area – in the kitchen, in the garden, in the café, and even later on the construction site. We especially appreciated your positive and friendly attitude, which made working together so enjoyable.

Thank you for all your support – you’ll always be warmly welcome back!

Best wishes, TEAM Michaelshof

No words can describe how nice volunteering in Sammatz was. One of the best experience I've had so far. The hosts are very sweet and they will make sure you feel comfortable with the work that has been given. The food was also excellent and I really enjoyed the cake time every afternoon. If you are looking for spending time in nature while having fun surrounded by beautiful people coming from all over the world, this is the place to be!

Viviane was such a great help during her stay with us! She jumped in everywhere with lots of energy – from daily tasks to spontaneous rides, and especially in our café where she did an amazing job. She’s super reliable, organized, and always kept a positive attitude.
100% recommended – anyone would be lucky to host her!

Merci beaucoup, dear Viviane, for being so warm-hearted, flexible, and always ready to help – we wish you all the best!!

This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have chosen a better place! In Sammatz you get the chance to work in a variety of areas and learn a lot from each one of it. I spent most of the time on the construction site, and it was really fulfilling to be part of the Tiny Houses project, to gain hands-on experience and to share special moments with such an amazing team and leaders. I learned so much from both locals and volunteers from all over the world and I'll never forget the incredible connections I made here. I really look forward to coming back ☺️

It is difficult to put such a magical experience into words. I am still emotionally reeling from saying goodbye to so many amazing people! Sammatz is truly an incredible place for meeting people from different places, and forming wonderful friendships you will cherish for a lifetime. The other volunteers are what makes the experience so worthwhile (I miss them already!), and the members of the community that run everything are so patient to explain things (even if like me you are very forgetful and ask multiple times, thanks again Sara for your patience haha). I hope I can come back sometime ❤
