I had a wonderful time in the project. The place itself is truly magical, and it felt like a home away from home. Ruby and Dimi are really friendly hosts, and the working hours were flexible, enjoyable, and always well coordinated with Andrew 😊 I met such lovely people and had a great time there. I'll miss all the animals, especially the dogs. It was definitely an unforgettable experience and I hope I can come back next summer 💕

I had a really great time at the project! It's the perfect place to reconnect with nature and to meet people from all over the world. Ruby and Dimi are very friendly and also the rest of the project team. The house is beautiful, it seems to be in a fairytale! Perfect to improve english and your cooking skills (they buy the food for you but you have to cook by yourself and with other volounteers, really funny!) Hope to see you again, thank you <3

I could not have imagined a better experience than from what I had at the project. Right off the bat, I felt right at home from being surrounded by warm, friendly, and like-minded individuals. I will forever treasure all of the delicious meals, fun nights, and incredible people that I got to meet. Work was totally doable, and the property is insanely beautiful- where you could sit outside all day and not be bored. Thank you the project for being such an inviting home, and I hope to be back again!

The work was very appreciated, the food was amazing and the dorm was very cozy. I would definitely recommend the project! Thanks to the whole team! :)
