Anca and Joseph were very welcoming hosts. During our stay, we took part in a variety of tasks—from cooking traditional paella and gardening to housekeeping and teaching their wonderful children. While some instructions were occasionally a bit vague and required clarification, overall it was a great experience. They also gave us great advice on things to do in the area, which is a beautiful town. If you appreciate nature, community, and architecture, I would highly recommend this experience.

We really enjoyed our stay here and felt very welcomed by their beautiful family. We took turns doing homeschool in the mornings. The kids were delightful. Then we took turns gardening and cleaning where we were directed. We were provided with a yummy home cooked lunch on our working days and were allowed to help ourselves to breakfast and dinner however we found ourselves eating cereal a lot as there was often not much meat/ingredients to cook with. We are very grateful to Anca and Joesph for having us stay. They were very accommodating and helped us with booking trips and giving advice.

Anca and Joseph opened their home to us and we will forever be greatful for our experience there. They have three kind and energetic children. I stayed for three weeks along with two other friends. The hosts made a point of letting us know we should enjoy the property. We all had lunch together each day and it was wonderful to experience Spanish culture and cuisine. In terms of tasks during work hours, at times these were not clear, likely because we were all English only speakers but that lead to some confusion. Overall though, we had a great stay and we wish Anca and Joseph all the best!

I spent a great month in Aranjuez with Joseph's family. They are very welcoming and make sure you have everything you need and feel at home. I had a really nice private room and volunteers are part of the family and participate in family life. The work was mostly teaching the kids and gardening and sometimes helping in the house, so it never got boring. The house and the finca are big and beautiful. You can take the bike (20 min) to town Aranjuez where there's a train to Madrid centre in 45 minutes. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the lovely time!

Mi experiencia, con Joseph, Anca y los niños fue genial, siempre preocupados por mi bienestar, me ayudaron a explicándome muchas cosas de la ciudad, el país y orientándome cuando quería salir a conocer, sus consejos fueron siempre muy acertados y claros me llevo muchos conocimientos, con los niños aprendí mientras ellos aprendían lo cual fue muy divertido también, repasar conocimientos, adquirir nuevos, mi experiencia fue muy buena me sentí como si fuera mi casa. Les agradezco de todo corazón ❤️❤️❤️

The time I volunteered at the farm was really great. The place where I stayed was very cozy and comfortable, and the family was very open and welcoming to those participating in the volunteer program. The children are extremely smart and love to play, and the parents are good people who always strive to maintain a friendly and transparent relationship. I worked a bit in the garden and taught the older children, which was a very cool experience for me.

It was a very good experience, I felt very welcomed, and after I became closer with the children, the classes got better. The place is really nice — a big garden, a pool, bikes, and it's very close to Aranjuez. To get to Madrid, it was about 15 minutes by bike plus 1 hour by train. The classes with the kids were fun, and the time we spent gardening was interesting, though a bit tiring. The parents were very helpful. A few times we had some communication difficulties and felt a bit of rudeness, but overall, the experience was really great.

The Keppeln family are really nice and kind people, very respectful and correct. They were able to accommodate some changes to the schedule so I can feel more comfortable. The kids are amazing and working with them was a lot of fun, they are so well- educated, well- behaved and sociable, I am really glad I got to know them. It was my first experience as a volunteer and I was very stressed about doing a good job, it was bit hard for me to grasp what I need to do and there were some miscommunications. It was really hard to get to Madrid as the station is around 30 minutes away from the house.

Thank you for your time and effort volunteering with our family. We understand that your first experience can be overwhelming, and we appreciate your dedication. However, we would have preferred more communication, especially about your availability, as it was difficult to coordinate plans. We also value family moments like lunch together and would have loved for you to join us more. We hope you still found the experience valuable and wish you the best in your future volunteering endeavors.

La estancia con Joe y Anca fue increíble, desde la llegada nos hicieron sentir bienvenidas, siempre estuvieron al pendiente de nosotras y nos dieron muchas recomendaciones para aprovechar los días libres, Aranjuez es un lugar hermoso y está muy cerca de Madrid. Las actividades principales que realizamos fue con los niños dando clases de diferentes temas, fue muy divertido convivir con Joe, Emma y Rebeca, son adorables. Pudimos intercambiar un poco de nuestra cultura con la de ellos y sentirnos como en casa, disfruté mucho el tiempo aquí, los voy a extrañar mucho y espero volver pronto ♡

Anca y Joseph son unos excelentes anfitriones, siempre están al pendiente de tus necesidades, resuelven dudas y te orientan para que puedas aprovechar al máximo tu tiempo libre visitando lugares cercanos. La convivencia con los niños fue increíble: Joe, Emma y Rebeca siempre están listos para lo que sea que les indiques, las clases son muy didácticas y también hay tiempo de recreación con ellos. Además de ayudar con la educación de los niños, realizamos tareas de jardinería, limpieza y ayuda en la cocina, las cuales fueron muy sencillas de realizar ¡Sin duda recomiendo está experiencia!
