The Experience
We are transforming a 17th-century stone sheep barn near Nice into a world-class artistic retreat. This isn’t a standard hostel gig; this is a high-performance project for people who want to build something iconic. We combine the rough with the smooth: heavy construction and technical landscaping by day; pianos, pool parties, and tennis matches by night. We are looking for a squad of proactive, energetic people ready to work hard for paradise.

Volunteering with Big Dog in the host was unreal. From day one I felt welcomed, trusted, and part of the team. The work was fair, physical, and genuinely rewarding — no busywork, just real projects where you see results. Big Dog is supportive, clear, and motivating, pushing you to give your best while always having your back. Add in great laughs, a stunning location, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Massive thanks to Big Dog — highly recommended.

The two weeks I spent at the host were incredible. I felt at home and gained a family while I was there. David's energy is unparalleled! High spirits and he's like a brother to everyone. I loved meeting the family and was very well received. The work is also a kind of university, as we learn technical and very useful things. I will definitely go back there in the summer. Thank you to everyone and especially to "Big Famous Daddio" who welcomed me so well.

Before coming here, I was just a regular guy. Now? I am a Padoek-deck-building, stone-wall-restoring, yacht-sleeping god. The energy at this place is electric. The host is firm but fair (mostly firm), and his obsession with 'High-Tech Artistic Havens' is borderline cult-like, which is exactly what I needed. I laughed, I cried, I moved 4 tons of stone, and I realized that the only person who can truly appreciate my genius is... well, me. Five stars. A masterpiece.

Writing this review required a level of introspection usually reserved for monks and philosophers. 10/10 difficulty, would not recommend looking this deep into your own soul.

My stay at the host was amazing. The work was fun and i learned a lot of new things. The area is beautiful and there are lots of things to do in your free time. I would definitely recommend a stay at the host.

My partner Livi and I stayed with the David and the Tasiaux's for 3 weeks at the host in the host. We were blown away by their hospitality and generosity during that time. The accomodation and food was second to none and we enjoyed getting stuck in to various projects. Thank you for having us
