Our experience at the home was very good , we spent an excellent three weeks with Mary and Jeremy. They were always very kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The place is truly beautiful and peaceful, and the tasks were simple and easy to carry out. We're very grateful and hope to meet again someday

I had a wonderful experience helping Mary and Jeremy with their project. Our tasks were very manageable, the hours were flexible, and we enjoyed seeing the impact of the completion of our projects. We were highly encouraged to take trips to nearby towns and immerse ourselves in the culture and rich local history through being given plenty of recommendations, free time, and the transportation to do so. I can't recommend this opportunity enough.

Thank you to Mary and Jeremy for welcoming us into your lives in the beautiful French countryside! Culturally, we felt that we could really immerse ourselves in the area thanks to our hosts taking us on outings and Jeremy's history lessons. The tasks asked of us were exactly as in the description and we were given all the tools and time necessary to complete these tasks. The flexible workday gave us plenty of free time to explore, though we spent most of our time enjoying the amazing property. Mary and Jeremy truly cared about us and our experience and made sure that our needs were tended to.

Our volunteering experience was absolutely perfect and unforgettable. From day one, Mary and Jeremy were incredibly kind and attentive, always willing to help and make sure we were comfortable. The place is beautiful, with stunning landscapes that make every day special. The tasks were easy to complete allowing us to enjoy and explore the near villas. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making our stay even more rewarding. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a volunteering in a wonderful setting with exceptional hosts. Thank you, Mary and Jeremy, for everything!
