Quiet and peaceful is what better describes the place. I was on my own doing all of my duties and that gave the chance to do it rapidly to go enjoying a little more of Aix and Cote D'azur. There's everything you need at home and if something is missing they provide it inmediately. It is a very comfortable place where you can relax when work is done. There's lakes and river close by to enjoy even more. You are provided with bikes so you can go easily to town to get your stuff same as to go to the lakes.

Upon arrival I had to walk 1hour a half from the train station to the property. The property we stay at is the only thing that was okay about this place. i hardly even spoke to the host as they didn't care. Mat knows how to make people very not welcome I dont' know why they accept people. The wifi does know work at all and when I was sat next to there house using it from outside I was asked to leave that area. When looking at the reviews they seem good but is definitely not true

You had to walk from the station as you turned up without warning and no one was available to collect you. We always are happy to collect the volunteers when their arrivals is planned.

My stay with Amy and Matt was really good. The workload was harder than I expected, but the experience was good overall. It's important to note that food is not provided. The area is very beautiful, and having a car can be very helpful.
