Frank is an amazing host, and a funny and amazing person overall: he's gonna make you feel part of the family from the beginning. Diandra is super sweet and caring, very welcoming as well. You're surely gonna meet good hearted people there. I had a great experience, perfect to reconnect with nature and enjoy peace, not to live some greek experience and party. The place is fantastic, the yurt where you'll sleep is super stylish: if you don't mind leaving city comforts behind you're gonna be fine. The food is extremely good, best bread and apple juice I've ever tried :) Absolutely recommended!

This is a great project for anyone who wants to get in touch with nature and learn about living sustainably. The mountains are beautiful and it's a great place for fresh air. Frank is a great host who was communicative and respectful of my dietary restrictions and religious requirements. Just note that the closest bus stop has to be driven to. And in the colder months there is no heating except in the main trailer. Great program overall. I learned a lot about construction, permaculture, and sustainability.

My month with Frank was incredible! I learned a lot about permaculture with Diandra, which allowed me to complete a beautiful land art project! Every day, I did different things, so it wasn't boring, and Frank is very funny, even though sometimes I didn't understand everything because of my English. Frank's pizzas are truly incredible, as is his cooking in general! I learned a lot about different cultures and had a great time with the other volunteers! This experience allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I would love to come back to follow the project's progress and see you again :)
