Vibrant international eco-community creating a sustainable future

The location and house are truly astonishing and both residents and volunteers were kind and loving people. The tasks consisted on cooking and cleaning, as well as taking care of the chicken and the land surrounding the property. I missed the agricultural part of the eco village, as well as practical opportunities to learn about ecology and sustainability. I was there in the quieter season, so there were very few activities going on. Overall, it was a good experience to live surrounded by nature and meet both locals who visited the community and international travellers.

The place is beautiful and the volunteers were wonderful. However, the Wi-Fi was unstable, and at first, the days off weren't consistent (though later adjusted). Most tasks were cleaning and cooking, not much gardening or agriculture. The page mentioned extra activities like language exchange or workshops, but those weren't available during my stay, at least. Maybe I was just unlucky. When the property hosted a wedding, volunteers were moved to humid rooms and the atmosphere felt more like a hotel than an the eco village. I wish the best to the project and understand it's still adjusting ❤️

The eco village is a place surrounded by beautiful nature and wonderful people. I really enjoyed the weeks I spent there and I'm grateful for the experience. At the same time, I feel there is still room for improvement in terms of organization and communication, which would make the stay even better for future volunteers.

I had the chance to meet many kind and inspiring volunteers from around the world, and the eco village property is surrounded by beautiful nature with peaceful views, a pool, and opportunities for walks. I also enjoyed pizza nights, which brought locals and volunteers together. However, the reality differed from what was announced: we worked more than 25 hours a week, courses were missing, and the place lacked structure, materials, and guidance. The remote location also meant weak WiFi, and communication with the host could have been more transparent.

The eco village has great potential, with beautiful surroundings and views. I enjoyed meeting volunteers from different countries and being part of a supportive community. However, organization was lacking: volunteers received little guidance, relying only on each other, which caused stress and confusion. Advertised activities like the forest kindergarten and workshops were missing. We shared feedback with the host, but it was not well received. More openness to volunteers' input, clearer communication, and stronger leadership would improve the experience. Feel free to contact me for more details.

This place was amazing to connect with nature. There's a beautiful scenery surrounding the property. The working hours were respected. Meeting volunteers from all over the world was incredible! Classes are not offered daily, it all depends on the volunteers and what they themselves can offer during their stay.The host needs to improve his communication and leadership skills, however, the couple that also manages the property, Val and Michele were the best and made sure the volunteers felt welcomed and appreciated. Meals are mainly vegetarian, meat only 2x a week.

My time at the eco village was a deeply memorable and mixed experience. Filled with growth and connection, but also marked by serious leadership and organizational challenges. The location is genuinely magical. I met some incredible volunteers, and many of the most enriching parts of my stay came from our daily collaborations. Unfortunately, the experience was hampered by a noticeable lack of structure, leadership, and communication from the host. I hope my feedback can assist in improving the functionality of the community. I believe the success of such projects can provide legitimate alternatives.

The best accommodation structure I've experienced in a volunteer - cozy and comfortable.The project is an amazing idea but still need organization, Val, one of the coordinators, was always kind and caring with us.However, the atmosphere with the host was very problematic: he frequently complained about volunteers to other volunteers, which created tension and discomfort. I had subscribed for gardening/kitchen tasks, but was asked to do marketing instead. When I explained I didn't feel comfortable with that and preferred to stick to what I signed up for, the host stopped communicating with me.

My time in the eco village was cozy, beautiful and inspiring in many ways. I got to meet so Many interesting people from all around and developed such rich connections. I learned a lot about myself and what I aspire to be one day. The people that you come across in the eco village are pure gold ♥️

At the eco village I met the most wonderful people from around the world and of all age ranges. I'm so grateful for this experience, the structure of the place is incredible and in the middle of beautiful nature. The dedication of each person into this project is inspiring and grows more everyday. I do believe that the eco village could really benefit on investing more on the real life day-to-day communication and organization, specially in the kitchen. I'm very grateful for the experience and hope I can come back again soon!
