A family home in the lavender fields of Provence

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.

The experience was good for me because I was looking for a quiet place and I like to be by my own. I would not recommend if you're expecting to socialize with people. The house is not so close to the center but they provide bikes, what makes the shopping easier… it's about 15 min by bike. Amy picked me up and brought me back to the train station, she was really nice! The place is amazing with beautiful sunsets everyday. Basically they need help with the house. The tasks were clear and easy for me.

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.

This is an amazing experience that is recommended for more independent volunteers who can take care of themselves and work on their own schedule while still getting the necessary tasks completed. It would be best for those who don't need a lot of socializing or inclusion in organized activities. The facilities are great, town nearby, and the owners Amy and Matt are super easy to work for!

My experience was good, with a good balance of work, peaceful rest and days off. The hosts are nice, flexible and give clear instructions of the tasks. The house where we stayed is very confortable and private, and I enjoyed getting to know other volunteers that stayed during my time there. The place is kind of secluded, so it is a bit hard to visit other towns without a car, you can do it by bus but there are few during the day. The hosts provide bicycles so you can go to the town and lake close by. At first I worked mainly in the garden, it was hot and tiring, but the job is rotated.

My experience volunteering here was really positive. My friend and I had our own room and bathroom, which we really appreciated. The tasks were exactly as described, mainly cleaning and gardening, and Matt and Amy explained everything well. The work schedule was flexible and coordinated with Amy, which made it easy to manage. It's easy to get to the lake and the supermarket by bike, but visiting other towns requires taking buses, which have limited schedules. Since it's in the countryside, be prepared to see plenty of spiders, haha!

My experience at the home went definitely well. The place is very quiet and peaceful, in the middle of the french countryside. My room was very spacious and cozy and the hosts have always been kind, respectful and very flexible with the schedule. The job - mostly cleaning for me - was fair and in my free time I got the chance to explore a lot of the surroundings. I would absolutely recommend it!
