The place is cool, the view of the lake is amazing. Don't come thinking it's a holidays house, there is always work to be done during your 30h of volunteering… the food for the meals is available, you just have to cook for yourself. There is a collective lunch 2x per week and someone + volunteer will cook for the whole house. It's a cool experience and you will meet people from everywhere (over 7 countries), it's a good place to have some language exchange. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Cheers!

Mi llegada a la ecovila, lamentablemente fue de ir con expectativas de poder aprender, resultó que termine haciendo labores muy pesadas, no respetándose mis tiempos, no tuve en ningún momento una habitación estable para mi, me movieron de un lado a otro cada día, siendo un sillon el mas comun, las veces que tuve una habitación, pensé que por fin tendría privacidad, pero theo entraba directamente a la habitación sin consultar, siento que son puntos que se pueden mejorar, lo mismo el trato más humano con los voluntarios, siento que si se tomara en cuenta el potencial humano que tienen, podrían progre

My time in the eco village was incredible 🤩. Alberto and Theo, are excellent hosts that anyone I could ask. They make everyone feel at home 🏡 and they are very clear about the tasks they must perform volunteers. In the eco village one can meet interesting people, learn from different cultures 🌍, I appreciate Alberto, lucila in taking part of his time to teach me his culinary art, very good cooks, the place is super nice a lovely view in front of the lake, Theo has extensive knowledge about permaculture, 🌻🌹☘️🌞 you learn a lot. It is a super productive experience, I recommend it.

My first experience in a community, people are very nice and a wide range of people with different life stories and at the same time the opportunity to learn new languages, I felt very good during the time spent here at the eco village and I recommend you try this experience

Fue una experiencia corta, pero aprendí mucho en carpintería con Rodolfo. Y mucho sobre comida saludable y vegetariana. Estuvo increíble ya que la gente que vive ahí es muy agradable y siempre busca que te sientas como en casa.

I spent 3 weeks in the eco village and I learned a lot. The house has an awesome view of the lake and of the vinos. I need to warn, especially girls, that the place has a lot more men and that didn't make me feel comfortable. I applied to do one kind of job and I ended up doing another one, even though they told me this would change with time. Hours of work are usually not assigned until either the night before or first thing in the morning and you need to fight for your days off. I was supposed to stay for 2 months, but I left early.

Julia arrived for 6-7 weeks to help in half housekeeping and other half social media contribution, as defined with her. After arriving, she starting complaining about housekeeping tasks. In our humble opinion, she was not very cooperative not respecting her duties, many times changing last minute and putting pressure on the team (rebel attitude). She kept on repeating her father was lawer and she did not show much cool attitude needed for an ecological sober life. We offered her extra leasures such as a flight simulator and a nice mountain treking at our own costs, and were happy to bring her joy.

But she explaind us she always had a housekeeping lady paid by her parents to make her laundry and other housekeeping in her house Brasil, and thus most of basic tasks were new for her such as making tea, using laundry... Lack of experience plus rebel and not much cooperative spirit did not facilitate her inclusion.
regarding her comment on hours. She did not use the digital tools toogl that we provided her to track her hours of volunteering, therefore we were unable to manage her schedule correctly.

Other volunteers such as Dylan and Mike stayed longer and were very happy, she was a bit isolated in her position.

It was her first volunteering experience and although we did not feel confortable with her frequent demands and pressure, we pardon and wish her the best !
