Anca and Joseph were very welcoming hosts. During our stay, we took part in a variety of tasks—from cooking traditional paella and gardening to housekeeping and teaching their wonderful children. While some instructions were occasionally a bit vague and required clarification, overall it was a great experience. They also gave us great advice on things to do in the area, which is a beautiful town. If you appreciate nature, community, and architecture, I would highly recommend this experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here and felt very welcomed by their beautiful family. We took turns doing homeschool in the mornings. The kids were delightful. Then we took turns gardening and cleaning where we were directed. We were provided with a yummy home cooked lunch on our working days and were allowed to help ourselves to breakfast and dinner however we found ourselves eating cereal a lot as there was often not much meat/ingredients to cook with. We are very grateful to Anca and Joesph for having us stay. They were very accommodating and helped us with booking trips and giving advice.

Anca and Joseph opened their home to us and we will forever be greatful for our experience there. They have three kind and energetic children. I stayed for three weeks along with two other friends. The hosts made a point of letting us know we should enjoy the property. We all had lunch together each day and it was wonderful to experience Spanish culture and cuisine. In terms of tasks during work hours, at times these were not clear, likely because we were all English only speakers but that lead to some confusion. Overall though, we had a great stay and we wish Anca and Joseph all the best!

I spent a great month in Aranjuez with Joseph's family. They are very welcoming and make sure you have everything you need and feel at home. I had a really nice private room and volunteers are part of the family and participate in family life. The work was mostly teaching the kids and gardening and sometimes helping in the house, so it never got boring. The house and the finca are big and beautiful. You can take the bike (20 min) to town Aranjuez where there's a train to Madrid centre in 45 minutes. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the lovely time!

The time I volunteered at the farm was really great. The place where I stayed was very cozy and comfortable, and the family was very open and welcoming to those participating in the volunteer program. The children are extremely smart and love to play, and the parents are good people who always strive to maintain a friendly and transparent relationship. I worked a bit in the garden and taught the older children, which was a very cool experience for me.
