Staying with Sylou and Richard was a trip of a lifetime! It was really enjoyable and helped me learn so many skills. I got the chance to improve my French, be taught and practice waiting/bartending/serving and listen to so many great explanations and stories from both Sylou and Richard! The local area is tranquil and beautiful, and perfect for someone who loves the countryside and reading/traveling! They were very kind, flexible and communicative too! I would recommend anyone to go and help at the host, it is so worth it! Thank you so much :)))

Sylou is a very kind and caring person. since the day one she helped us with a lot of stuff. The restaurant is very familiar, and the village it's beautiful and in the middle of the nature. I'll never forget this experience, and Sylou will be always in our hearts. Wish all the best for you and your restaurant my friend ❤️

We had a great time at the host. Sylou is an awesome and kind woman who makes you feel at home. We helped her running the restaurant, so you can make any restaurant tasks. The restaurant is not that big, and you have opportunity to meet many locals. Remember is a countryside so you will be 15km away from the nearest big supermarket. We loved the experience and we recommend 100%. Thank you 💙

Staying at the host and working with Sylou has been a real pleasure. I couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. I had lots of space to relax in the rooms and plenty to explore on my walks around the Loire valley. If you aren't a big walker, Sylou makes sure you can visit the surrounding towns, so you will stay active. And don't tell my mother, but this was some of the best food I have eaten. Highly recommended for those who would like to improve their french and explore the countryside. Thank you, Sylou!

Nuestra estadía en the host fue increíble, un mes en que no vimos pasar el tiempo, desde el primer hasta el último día nos sentimos como en casa y en el camino aprendimos muchísimas cosas sobre diversos temas. Sylou y Richard son personas maravillosas que están dispuestas a enseñar todo lo que saben con mucha paciencia y cariño. La comida era excepcional y las habitaciones súper cómodas. Definitivamente recomendamos este voluntariado, volveremos sin dudarlo. Finalement, on te remercie encore une fois, Sylou, tu nous manques déjà mais on sait qu'on se retrouvera dans le futur. Bisous ♥️

I cannot explain how amazing was this experience for me. The landscape is beautiful and the accommodations are so nice, comfortable and private. Sylou makes sure you always have everything you need plus the delicious meals she prepares. I instantly felt comfortable and felt a real connection with her, I can talk with Sylou for hours!! I enjoyed so much cooking together and prepare the dishes. I learnt good recipes and she also invited me to visit really nice places on our days off. I cannot be more grateful for everything. I'll miss you 🥲 and I'm already waiting to seeing you again ❤️

The room was beautiful, however it was in the middle of country. There is not much things to do around, beside going for walks. A bike would be nice to be able to explore more around. I felt uncomfortable most of the time volunteering in the kitchen, I didn't always feel respected when I was helping out. I try my best to always help around and understand that working in a kitchen can be stressful but I feel it is always important to treat yours volunteer with respect and empathy.

I am sorry Bianca if you felt like this but I never treated you without respect and all the volunteers can tell you I respect you all, I don't know where is the problem in your feelings because Mariana who was working with us did not feel unconfortable, she was sad to leave so you are totally allowed to say you where unconfortable but don't make poeple think I treat my volunteers without respect because this totally unfair. Did I ever once shout at you ? Said something when you make fall a preparation out of the fridge, no I just tried to make you confortable saying, don't worry it happens ! I took you to Sancerre to visit the wine museum and payed for it , brought you to La Charité sur Loire and waited there so you could visit as well. Hopefully we are going to buy some bikes this year, I understand we are in the middle of the country but I tell it before you come.And I also tell you that there is different task of what needs a restaurant like help in the kitchen as well.

The host is a very good restaurant with nice costumers. Sylou and Richard were very good hosts. They gave us rides from time to time to visit nearby towns or to the train station, but an access to bikes would be a great addition to allow more independence since the village is very deep in the country side. A downside is that we often finished service late at night and then were expected to have had breakfeast before 9 am the next morning, which didn't allow a lot of time to sleep, so we sometimes skipped breakfeast. Overall, it's a great experience but it is a slow life style.

I cannot fault the hospitality and generosity of Sylou and Richard welcoming me into their home. I enjoyed getting to know them, they are so lovely and great fun! The work advertised is not quite what I experienced - it was originally advertised as bartending but in reality it was mostly waitressing and kitchen help, and there was work to do before/after service with cleaning, food prep etc so it was more hours than I was expecting as I was the only volunteer there. Overall I'm still glad I had this experience! It was great to try something new during my travels.
