I absolutely loved my stay with Edite and Hernani! They made sure I felt welcomed and I had everything I need, and I learned so many new skills. I also learned about bees and had the chance to understand principles of beekeeping which I'm so happy about. The tasks are various and Edite is always attentive to make sure I'm comfortable . I simply felt at home and I had the pleasure of being part of this experience, thank you so much for everything ❤️ I hope to get the chance to visit again!

I had a wonderful time here at the reserve. Edite is such an amazing and hard working person, her dedication to the land and bees is admirable. While the work can be a bit challenging at times, it is rewarding and you definitely are making a difference. The property is rural and beautiful which makes it lovely for peace and quiet. All of the plants and flowers are flourishing which makes for many great pictures and you learn most of them center around providing the best environment for the bees. You do feel like part of the family, not lacking in food, smiles, or a learning experience.

Wow! Where to even start. This was one of the best experiences of my life and it all stemmed from just the incredible dedication and generosity which Edite and her husband have naturally. With a cozy private room, a beautiful setting, and 3 home cooked meals a day I couldn't pick a flaw in this place. My only complaint is that I couldn't be there for longer. Show some love to this space which I assure you is a detox from the normality of reality.

Dear Thomás, you are an incredible person, and you were a balm of peace and love for us, not to mention the precious work you did. Your help was invaluable and your person is charming, bringing much joy to our lives. You always have a family here who welcomes you with open hugs.

Este fue mi primer voluntariado, ame cada momento que compartí con Edith y su esposo, Edith fue por mi a la estación de tren y después al llegar a su casa me mostró el lugar donde me quedaría, el lugar es muy bello y la habitación era muy cómoda. Aprendí mucho de ella, es una mujer realmente inspiradora, trabajadora y fue paciente para enseñarme, además me hicieron sentir como parte de su familia, recomiendo totalmente ésta experiencia🥹
