Cottage Pechlafiere

Living in an old refurbished french farmhouse, there is always small renovation to conduct throughout the different buildings. With forests and fields around the property, there is a large garden and an orchard to maintain and cutting and collecting firewood for the winter is also a regular task.The Dordogne is a world famous touristic area in France. With Prehistoric and medieval remains, great cuisine and gorgeous countryside landscape, there is a great deal of sightseeing and other cultural and leisure activities to engage in. The forests are littered with hiking path for long walks or adventurous bike rides. In the summer the rivers which cross the region make a great day out beaching or sunbathing.

I have travelled extensively through my life and am happy to share the adventures i took part of. I am a great fan of nature, environmental protection and organic food growth as well as ancient types of plants, agricultural technique and alternative lifestyle. I am also part of various cultural groups such as a occitan choire and a prehistoric study group. Volunteers are all welcomed and we value differences and particuliar life experiences.Work schedules are flexible (according to the weather and the tasks to manage) and we are also happy that volunteers participate in the social life of the place.

I learned so much from Danielle over the course of my stay with her. She treated me as family and shared so many stories about her life and travels with me. I also learned so much about how to truly be a sustainable individual. I will cherish this learning experience forever!

Recomendo! Danielle me buscou e deixou de carro, comprou ingredientes de comida brasileira etc. Django enviava informações, muito educado. São três casas, uma piscina, horta e pés de frutas: uva bacu, figos etc. Gatos e ovelhas para cuidar. Trabalhei cortando lenha, com piscina etc. A casa é rica em arte do Oriente Médio, África e muitos livros: li/vi Sebastião Salgado! Ouvi rádio, convivi com voluntária brilhante! Destaco a dificuldade em conciliar viagens para outros departamentos franceses. Por atraso no trem, perdi ônibus, paguei outra passagem, de novo atrasou... Mas agradeço por tudo!!

We had the most amazing time staying with Danielle! We enjoyed the work set out for us- was not too demanding and we were able to complete it at our own pace in the sun! Just bear in mind the schedule does fluctuate and is mostly manual labour. Danielle is a lovely lady with so many incredible stories to tell and welcomes you so warmly into her home. She is a wonderful cook all the food is very healthy and organic. We are already missing our stay and hope to return again someday! Thank you Danielle!

There’s no review I could write that could encapsulate how incredible this experience has been. I am 21 years old, freshly graduated from school, but I’d say I learned more from Danielle than most classrooms have taught me. The work is rewarding, the location is serene, and to get to know Danielle is a privilege. I’ll think about her and this experience for the rest of my life. You’d be doing yourself a great disservice to pass up this opportunity- Cottage Pechlafiere is a unique paradise.

My time with Danielle was amazing! The place is beautiful and the tasks were super chill. Danielle has this amazing savoir-faire that comes from a life full of adventures, and she’s always happy to share it and introduce you to the culture. I love meeting people like her. Every corner of the house has a story or a fun memory — it’s such a special place :)
