This was my first experience, and Ilona made it truly wonderful! I couldn't be more satisfied and happy with it. She is an amazing woman, teacher, storyteller, and artist. During my 10-day stay at her lovely farm, I learned so much and gained numerous new skills. I worked with plants, wood, construction tools, and various materials and techniques. Ilona also gave me a tour of the farm and some nearby places. Her passion for nature and her extensive knowledge about everything you need to know are truly inspiring. My stay couldn't have been better for a first experience. Thank you so much Ilona

If you're looking for a break from everything, I don't know if there's a better place than this, as it's in the middle of a forest where you can easily see deer, beavers, foxes and lots of birds, but even if you don't see anything, just being there will enchant you. Mrs. Ilona shows you how she grows her crops and how she tries to live in harmony with our world and always tries to do her best for her helpers.

It is a strong but enriching experience, it takes you back a few good years, you get in touch with nature 100% and you learn too much with the Host.
