This was my first experience as a Worldpackers, and I have to say they put me at ease instantly. Emine, Thomas, Pierre and Isabella are 4 incredibly welcoming individuals that teached me skills about living sustainably. There are definitely some concepts that I will bring with me along my journey! I spent a week there and the meals were amazing, the scenery was impressive and the ambiance with the hosts was warm and sincere. I truly appreciated my week there, felt like a retreat up in the mountains but close to the sea:) Would 100% recommend! Merci beaucoup pour la belle semaine!:)

My experience here was very beautiful, comfortable and incredible! Everyone was very welcoming, kind, and helpful. The food was incredibly delicious, some of the best dishes I've ever had. Pierre, the chef, was super attentive and generous when preparing my meals. I was doing extensive and heavy work, but I enjoyed it as it gave me energy. Isabella, the owner, was patient and understanding as she showed me what she wanted to be done. Emine and Thomas, the managers, were also very supportive and kind when collaborating with me on what needed to be done. I completely recommend this experience!

Volunteering at the farm House was a very immersive and complete experience. With a very comfortable individual cabin and an eco-friendly bathroom, the work is manual and mostly done in the gardens under the sun, which can be tiring, but you can take breaks when needed. The food is great and the people are fun, but most only speak French. Important to know it is far from Nice, you can only go there in your days off.

Had a good time here! The environment was peaceful and the nature was beautiful. My only complaint is the listing is slightly inaccurate: The hours worked were definitely a bit over 25, there was only 1 day off not 2, and the food was more sparse than I expected. But overall thom and emine were lovely hosts and i had a good time at casa de the farm!

La casa está en un bosque mágico, te despiertan los cantos de los pájaros y y el verde bosque es el primer desayuno para los ojos. Los anfitriones son muy majos, lastima que casi todos saben hablan español y no aprendí tanto francés jajaja. Pier un cocinero genial, comida rica y sana, y como ellos dicen... Un chavón genial. Thom, Emine e Isabella unos cielos. Me resultó bastante cómodo para trabajar,porque milagrosamente tenían un taller ordenado. Lo que si falta que está en proyecto es una cocinita básica para nosotros. Para cocinar cuando queramos sin interrumpir en el restaurant
