Lilly and Santi have been great hosts and try to make you as comfortable as possible. I really liked the stay over there and would recommend it to everyone who wants to slow down and take a little break from traveling to relax a little bit. There is not much around so your activities after work are limited but as said, a perfect place to calm down.

For us it was our first volunteering experience and we loved it. It was a lovely community, we ate good food and also the work was fun and not too much. It's a good place to recover and get away from the city life. Santi and Lily really cared for everybody and that you feel comfortable.

We had an amazing experience at the project, Santi felt more like a friend than a host. All the other volunteers we met were also amazing and we made friends for life. The place is extremely cosy and beautiful and we learned very valuable things such as cooking for many people, building with superadobe and other social leasons. We would 100% come back sometime :)

The project, the environment, and the atmosphere are truly something unique and beautiful. You can always choose the tasks you want to do each day, which gives a great sense of freedom and variety - and helps you gain diverse experience. The working hours are also really good. I especially loved working on the bio-construction! If you are looking to escape the noise of the city, to have a rural and peaceful experience in nature (along with limited wifi), gain experience in sustainable living and permaculture - this place is perfect for you. I genuinely enjoyed my time here!
