This was my first volunteering and it was great. I felt super taken care of. The work is usually different everyday wich makes it very dinamic. Is a place to relax and enjoy a lot. Theres a lot of hiking and climbing around and cool places to visit in the free days.Eliana is a great person, she gives a lot, and even more when you are putting your effort in anything.

I loved my time here, both the neighboring towns are beautiful and the house is a very comfortable place to stay with an amazing view. We had so much fun making homemade pasta and tiramisu and going to karaoke, I felt very taken care of and safe and would recommend this stay to anyone but especially women who are traveling solo as I had such a truly wonderful time.

I had a wonderful three weeks here. New tasks were always explained before, and the work time was flexible. I met beautiful volunteers and local people. Eliana is a very nice host who wants to know the volunteers and give them an opportunity to find new friends at this place. She tries to help them discover their special skills. She always said, "I accept everyone I can. I don't try to find the person for the job; I try to find the job for the person." It's a place that welcomes you with open arms and heart. Thank you!🙏❤️

I really liked this experience! Eliana is a really nice person. I had to leave the volunteer job earlier than the date we agreed, due to some personal motive and she supported me, and helped me to search transports to go back to my city. The experience was really nice, it's a beautiful place to stay, with a really beautiful view of the sea. The tasks sometimes were a little bit hard for me, but she was flexible and sent me to do other tasks that weren't that hard for me. I really recommend this experience!

It's difficult to know who to recommend this experience to. On one hand it seems perfect for inexperienced travelers, given Eliana's specificity on how to perform each and every task with little value given to input. That being said, it's also tough to recommend to amateurs given the use of heavy machinery that is dangerous and would be better in the hands of skilled professionals. Loose chainsaw and mower blades could cause great bodily harm, leaving aside the loose-handled tools, rusty nails and falling tree branches. The place is quite unclean, but she does try to cultivate social activity.

Hi Alan nobody used the chainsaw apart me and the only machine is used by volunteer is the brush cutter that is not an harmful one, as we use mask and protection. Moreover I'm always near volunteer as you said "Eliana's specificity on how to perform each and every task" to avoid any accident (never occured since 4 years and more than 600 volunteers.). If your input was to make roll a tyre from the top field down to the end Lucking not falled on the head of an other volunteer... well Im happy to "with little value given to input".

The landscape is beautiful! The house is close to the beach and the next towns and the terrace has a incredible view. The host Eliana is a very nice person and one feels absolutely welcomed by her. The work is nice and always different, so you feel useful while doing it and dont get bored. Also its only 4h a day and never more, so you really have a lot of freetime to discover the surrounding area or just relax in the sun while having fresh eggs from the chickens which live around the house or enjoy delicious locally caught fish from the fisherman Marco.

Disfrutanos mucho del lugar es un paraiso, las vistas desde la casa son increibles. Los caminos para llegar caminando a la casa son de montañas y mucha veces se transforma en senderos. En cuanto a las tareas realizamos son de mantenimiento de la casa. Eliana es una gran persona y te hace sentir comodo en todo momento. A nosotros nos dio un poco de tristeza que los anteriores voluntarios no cuidaron la casa de invitados y que no valoren la confianza que Eliana brinda a cada uno, a fin y al cabo ella nos regala esta experiencia y hay que valorarla ayudando a mantener el orden y limpieza

La experiencia con Eliana increíblemente agradable. Estoy muy agradecida por la amabilidad y el cariño. Aprendí muchas cosas, descubrí muchas cosas que podía hacer. Eliana es una mujer realmente maravillosa, gracias por los consejos. La vista que se tienes es incomparable. Recomiendo 100%❤️

Eliana es una persona muy gentil y amable, nos hizo sentir bienvenidos y estuvo al tanto de nuestra necesidad de conseguir un trabajo viendo la forma de ayudarnos. Pero debo mencionar que la casa donde nos hospeda se encuentra bastante sucia, hay reglas de higiene, orden y convivencia pero al parecer pocos se preocupan por seguirlas y ella no hace mucho por asegurarse de ello. En su cocina donde nos ofrece el desayuno también se encuentra sucio, y lamentablemente Eliana fuma bastante adentro con todo cerrado. Las tareas en general son fáciles, pero también se hacen algunas un poco peligrosas

Hi, I didnt wrote a feedback because I do not consider you worldpackers as you came only because you didnt had a place to stay from one job and the other (and you do not have the volunteer attitude), 4 days is not enough, Concerning the volunteer home you are right, but all the volunteer that they were there should have cleaned. There is written both in this page than in the home. I wrote rules and I cannot stay behind every day a home that is not mine and that is rented for making you more confortable. I'm a smoker and i feel free to smoke in my part of the house where volunteers do not should enter if they do not want. Remember to read more carefull the pages for examples you didnt bring your own gloves as requested on the page and also garden and cultivation work are hard but not dangerous and absolutely not the job for you
