The family is incredibly open, friendly, and welcoming. Priscylla was especially kind and made sure I felt as comfortable as possible throughout my stay. The work mainly involved gardening, cleaning and doing the laundry, it was fair and flexible. The accommodation is cozy and offers privacy. However, it's a bit past its prime and with a compost toilet — but if that doesn't bother you, it's a great setup. The location is peaceful and quiet, perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. It's an authentic, off-grid experience with a warm and welcoming family :)
