The Experience
Help us prepare our off-grid Cortijo in the Alpujarra for a new retreat season! Tasks include gardening (weeding, planting succulents, creating borders) and light maintenance in common areas like the yoga platform and bar. Perfect for open-minded, flexible volunteers who love nature, hiking, and peaceful mountain living. We drive daily, so you can easily catch a ride to town or the beach!

A beautiful and peaceful place in the middle of the mountains. Perfect for someone who needs a break from the sounds of the city. Communication went well. The work was focused on tidying up the yard. The room was really lovely and they respected your own peace but were also sociable, depending on what you prefer. 🤝🏼I can recommend it!

I really enjoyed my time at the guest house! The hosts Marijn and Femke were friendly, and they were also very clear and reasonable with setting expectations for the working hours and time off! The accomodation was clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed having a spacious kitchen to cook in. Definitely quite remote, so enjoyed a few nice walks in the mountains and down to the sea, but was also able to get a ride from Marijn into a few nearby towns! For me, this was the perfect way to spend some time reconnecting with the outdoors after being in cities!

Hosts were honest & kind - very fair with their working hours. They understand what volunteering is and how the exchange should work! The other volunteers were also lovely during my stay here. If you don't have a car, I wouldn't worry too much as the hosts kindly provided lifts. The place is also beautiful.

The time at the guest house was really nice. Marijn and Femke are very friendly. The apartment we lived in was clean and comfy and the nights were very quiet. It was a good experience.🤗

It was a nice Experience. Mario is very friendly and we had to da lot of gardening work. The apartment was very comfy and we had everything we need. The Place is very quiet but it's a bit hard to get there with the car. The “rambla” is the way to the retreat center and it's very bumpy so it was very difficult with our car which is very low. All in all it was a nice experience.
