Sophie and Michael were very welcoming. The caravan was comfortable and the fridge was always well stocked with a variety of foods. The place and the work were as described. Taking part in the photoshoot was definitely the highlight of the trip, along with some authentic Spanish experiences like learning how to cut a Jamón. We had no previous gardening experience, but Sophie taught us a lot about various aspects of caring for the gardens. The natural pool was fabulous, and we loved hanging out with the dogs, Paco, Lady, and Rufus.

Emma and Marc came to volunteer during the hottest month of June I can remember so much of the outdoor work had to be rescheduled to cooler times of the day and the couple were happy to be flexible with working hours. They were great participants in the photoshoot and fun to spend time with socializing and playing board games.

Sophie and Michael were very welcoming and hospitable hosts. We were able to use the gardens and swim in the fabulous natural pool when there were no guests. The work was hard, but Sophie took good care to make sure we were staying safe in the heat and not spending too much time in the sun. We had a great time taking part in the photoshoot and hanging out with the other people involved in the shoot. The three dogs, Paco, Lady, and Rufus, were really sweet as well. The place itself is really beautiful, and I definitely recommend this experience for people who love spending time in nature.

This was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have been better. The place is incredible, with a deep connection to nature that made every day special. Sophie and Ruby were amazing hosts, they made me feel welcome from the start, always kind and easy to connect with. The team we formed was great, and I learned a lot about setting up event scenarios and decoration. Watching Sophie create the photoshoot concepts and being part of it was a unique experience that helped me grow personally and professionally. Thank you all for such an unforgettable opportunity!

This experience was so refreshing in so many ways. I felt connected with nature, was able to eat healthy and had incredible conversations with Sophie and Micheal. Her leadership skills are great and we learned so much from her as she is a great teacher. The work was labor intensive, but very manageable and the hours are great as it gives you a lot of the day to hike and relax. I would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers as it was my favorite World Packers experience so far.

Sophie was a wonderful host and went out of her way to make the experience special for us. She treated us to two amazing homemade barbecues and even took us to a wine tasting. The accommodation was also nice as we had plenty of food to cook and our own private space across from the guest house. There are beautiful hikes in the area and the pool is very nice if guests aren't using it. The work was as described and if we didn't know how to do something, she taught us with clear instructions. I would recommend this experience for anyone looking for a beautiful view and reset with nature.
