The Experience

The kind of work we will be doing in the upcoming months are things like rebuilding some stonewalls, clearing and arranging paths, creating some terraces, creating gardens, building an outdoor kitchen, repointing walls… ...soon we will probably change the roof tiles from one of the cabins. ...soon we will plant some trees 😊 and make a garden.

Efrem and Ilja were among the kindest and wisest people I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. The work was flexible, and fairly simple, but kept us busy throughout the day. Our accomodation was clean and exceptionally comfortable. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

Thank you Ilja and Efrem for such an incredible and tranquil 10 days. They are the most caring, generous, kind and easy-going people. Our tasks were fulfilling and simple, consisting of general cleaning , cooking meals, hanging out with their adorable baby and gardening. We had plenty of free time. We slept in a very comfortable caravan in their beautiful backyard. We highly recommend this opportunity for anyone with a passion for nature, simple-living and self sufficiency, as well as anyone who is open-minded and wants to volunteer for a wonderful family!

Una experiencia hermosa con la famila la casa ☺️! Desde el primer momento, nos hemos sentido super cómodos! Como en casa! 💜 Colaboramos con diversas tareas en contacto con la naturaleza. El entorno es ideal para hacer muchas caminatas y paseos, entre bosques, arroyos y pueblitos. Muchas gracias por todo!! Y ojalá nos reencontremos nuevamente!!

La pasamos muy bien con la hermosa familia. Nos sentimos como en casa en todo momento. Por esa razón nuestra semana paso volando!! 😂. Hicimos algunos trabajos en el bosque y jugamos y nos divertimos con el pequeño tárim. Los alrededores son muy lindos para hacer caminatas. Super agradecidos de habernos recibido y esperamos volver a encontrarnos en alguna parte.

Ilja, Efrem y Tárin fueron unos anfitriones de lujo. Muy cálidos, amables y flexibles! Nos explicaron con paciencia todas las tareas y estuvieron dispuestos a resolver nuestras dudas. Nos hicieron parte de su familia durante nuestra estancia, llevándonos a lugares hermosos y presentándonos a sus amistades. Ilja cocina DELICIOSO cada día, y el pan de Efrem es algo que extrañaremos. El pequeño Tárin es muy alegre y enérgico, ha sido un placer jugar con él. Las tareas fueron muy físicas, como pelar troncos o limpiar escombros de una cabaña, están muy bien. Sin dudas volveremos!
