Staying at Corral the guest house was an amazing experience, the modernist house has such a special and relaxed energy. We took care of the house and garden, as well as cooked some great meals with food from the garden. Our hosts was nice and welcoming and our rooms were cosy as well. I get to learn so much about gardening, sustainable living and slow life in Catalunya. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys peaceful life and wants to try life on the land. Thank you for everything!

This was my first volunteer experience and it didn't disappoint! The house is beautiful, there is a huge variety of interesting projects to work on, and Fai and Xavi are lovely and super accommodating. I was also pushed out my bubble as far as speaking Spanish. I speak Spanish, not perfectly, but I definitely have more confidence speaking now than I did before. Overall super great experience

I can't stress it enough but we couldn't have asked for a better experience as our first volunteering gig!! Fai and Xavi are amazing hosts, always super friendly, clear, respectful and open to collaboration. The work was fun, well explained, we had freedom to make choices and da little bit of everything!! the guest house is a place out of this world, as well as the surroundings that we got to explore and know better thanks to the expertise of our hosts. We only wished we could've stayed even more. Thanks a million!!

What an amazing experience! Fai and Xavy were such welcoming, respectful and fun hosts. I really enjoyed the family style lunches made with almost entirely food from their land. The hours were exactly as agreed upon and Fai tried to make sure people somewhat enjoyed their daily tasks. The work was straightforward and sometimes fun (picking and pressing wildflowers)! The house and area around it was absolutely stunning. It was really nice to slow down, appreciate the land and be more mindful about how we consume and engage with the natural world. Thank you times a million Fai and Xavy!! :-)

My time at the guest house has been wonderful. Fai is so nice, and patient with my little knowledge of Spanish. She made us feel very comfortable and gave us varied tasks every day. Volunteers make lunch each day for everyone and I really enjoyed doing that with ingredients from the garden and such :) the house and surrounding area is absolutely stunning, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to slow down for a bit and connect with nature.
