A family home in the lavender fields of Provence

This is an amazing experience that is recommended for more independent volunteers who can take care of themselves and work on their own schedule while still getting the necessary tasks completed. It would be best for those who don't need a lot of socializing or inclusion in organized activities. The facilities are great, town nearby, and the owners Amy and Matt are super easy to work for!

My experience was good, with a good balance of work, peaceful rest and days off. The hosts are nice, flexible and give clear instructions of the tasks. The house where we stayed is very confortable and private, and I enjoyed getting to know other volunteers that stayed during my time there. The place is kind of secluded, so it is a bit hard to visit other towns without a car, you can do it by bus but there are few during the day. The hosts provide bicycles so you can go to the town and lake close by. At first I worked mainly in the garden, it was hot and tiring, but the job is rotated.

My experience volunteering here was really positive. My friend and I had our own room and bathroom, which we really appreciated. The tasks were exactly as described, mainly cleaning and gardening, and Matt and Amy explained everything well. The work schedule was flexible and coordinated with Amy, which made it easy to manage. It's easy to get to the lake and the supermarket by bike, but visiting other towns requires taking buses, which have limited schedules. Since it's in the countryside, be prepared to see plenty of spiders, haha!

My experience at the home went definitely well. The place is very quiet and peaceful, in the middle of the french countryside. My room was very spacious and cozy and the hosts have always been kind, respectful and very flexible with the schedule. The job - mostly cleaning for me - was fair and in my free time I got the chance to explore a lot of the surroundings. I would absolutely recommend it!

It was a really good experience, the house that Amy and Matt gave us was amazing and also the views and landscape. The both of them are great persons, kind and lovely. The task were clear and not that hard, we did the job in less hours that the ones we accord, so we tell them that we could da couple of more things. They gave us a lot of liberty in the work, we managed to do the work alone and in the time that was convenient for us. There are bikes available and a lake really near the house, the village of Oraison is near aswell. We recommend this experience!

Our stay was ok. The area is lovely, lots of nature around, including a lake nearby, but it is isolated and travelling without a car is difficult. The work is fair, 20h per week doing tasks like gardening and ironing. The gite was good, with good facilities. Our hosts were helpful - lifts and advice when asked, but we found our stay impersonal and very work-oriented. We felt we weren't entirely welcome on the property with the driveway being out of bounds etc. Left without a proper goodbye from either of the hosts. Would recommend the stay if you prefer a more solitary working environment.

The area is beautiful, with mountains and a nearby lake accessible by bike provided by the hosts. Work was as described at 20 hours a week and hosts were flexible with this. The area is a little secluded however, limited public transport. Was disappointed that little effort was made to get to know us or ask about our lives. The hosts are nice, but the relationship is more managerial than as friends. Conversation kept mostly about work. Would recommend to those preferring a solitary experience in the beautiful French countryside.
