The Experience

We need a help while we are away for work. We planned to leave around the 20th of November for more or less a week.

Common areas are living room, kitchen, loundry room and patio.

A very nice experience. Lupa and Fiera are easy to care for. Lupa loves to play and Fiera lives in her own world, coming to the house to ask for food and to sleep. Francesca and Gabri are very good and attentive to everything you need. Good meals and good conversations. Recommended. Thank you.

The days in Castagneto were very peaceful and the sunsets were beautiful from the balcony. The house is lovely and has two cute cats. The chores are very calm and respectful. Francesca is an extremely kind and admirable person. I will miss you! I hope to see you again in Brazil! 😂♥️

I am truly grateful to Mariana, she is a very sensitive person, someone you can trust in. I hosted Mariana during this summer and she hepled me with house chores and amazing healthy cooking while I was working.
Never say thank you enough, she made me open my mind on many aspect of life. Hope to se you soon in Brazil. Abraços

Mi experiencia fue más que increíble! Francesca es una persona que te hace sentir como en casa, siempre está pensando en cómo ayudarte y hacerte pasar un buen momento. El pueblo es bellísimo, es como estar en una película y las tareas son sencillas y siempre se respetó el acuerdo! Vine en busca de un voluntariado y me voy con una linda amistad y un lugar al que me gustaría volver sin dudas ♥️

Experiencia totalmente hermosa! Fran nos hizo sentir cómodos desde el primer día, fue siempre muy generosa con nosotros. Es una persona muy amable y Gabri también. El pueblo está rodeado de naturaleza y las vistas y sus atardeceres son de película. La casa también es hermosa y nuestra habitación súper cómoda. No podemos estar más felices con este voluntariado! Comemos muy rico, pasamos tiempo con los gatitos, paseamos mucho y compartimos con hermosas personas. Recomendamos muchísimo esta experiencia! Gracias por todo Fran :)

Recomendamos este lugar ya que la experiencia fue INCREÍBLE. NOs recibieron con mucha alegría y cariño, nos enseñaron muchas cosas del lugar, recorrimos y estuvieron siempre al pendiente que estemos cómodas. Ambos son personas muy agradables y divertidas. Sin duda volveríamos, no sólo por el lugar que es hermoso y muy tranquilo, sino por ellos que nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Les agradecemos por esta experiencia y confiar en nosotras para cuidar a sus hijas gatunas y su hogar. Xime y Flor 🤍
