This was my very first Workaway experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. I am filled with gratitude for the time I spent with Claudia and Volker, two genuinely kind, generous, and thoughtful people who made me feel at home from the moment I arrived.
From the beginning, they welcomed me warmly and remained supportive,
… read more attentive, and caring throughout my stay. Their deep knowledge of the island was invaluable, they provided great recommendations on where to go, what to see, and how to make the most of the surrounding beauty. Their care and sincerity were evident in every interaction.
They kindly offered me a lift to and from Puntagorda and even took me to a larger supermarket for a grocery run, small gestures that meant a lot. Claudia is an incredibly warm and generous soul. She shared her delicious home-cooked meals and baked treats, and our conversations were always rich, warm, and uplifting. Both she and Volker are wonderful individuals and an inspiring couple. It was a joy to be around them.
The accommodation was far beyond what I expected. I stayed in a beautiful wooden cabin that was fully equipped, impeccably clean, and more comfortable than I could have hoped for. And as a bonus, I was surrounded by their charming cats, a delightful presence that made my stay even more special.
The work was very manageable, always clearly explained, and tailored to my abilities. While the sun can get intense at times, working outdoors on their beautiful property, with ocean views and lush surroundings, was incredibly satisfying. I helped clear the garden of weeds, swept the stone paths and walls, and assisted Volker with some painting. Volker was always very patient and respectful.
Their honesty, wisdom, and gentle nature created a peaceful and uplifting environment where I felt completely at ease. The property itself is a slice of paradise, and the surrounding area is perfect for soul-soothing hikes. The island’s natural beauty, healing energy, and serenity offer the perfect chance to recharge, and reconnect with nature.
I wholeheartedly recommend staying with Claudia and Volker. If you're seeking quiet moments, stunning sunsets, meaningful connections, and unforgettable hikes this is the place for you.
Thank you, Claudia and Volker, for your warmth and generosity. I carry this experience with deep appreciation and hope to return one day. Much love to you both!
Nach einer kurzen, unkomplizierten Nachfrage hat Natalia acht Tage auf unserer Finca verbracht. Es war eine wunderbare Zeit.

Mit Hingabe, immer freundlich und gut

Am letzten Tag ihres Aufenthaltes hat Natalia auch ihre Skills in Sachen Streichen bewiesen. Natalia hat darüber hinaus liebevoll unsere Katzen versorgt mit Futter, Wasser und wenn möglich jeder Menge Streicheleinheiten ;-))) Wir haben gute Gespräche geführt und es herrschte allzeit ein gutes Miteinander. Nicht unerwähnt lassen wollen wir, dass Natalia das Holzhaus sehr sauber, gepflegt und aufgeräumt hinterlassen hat. Wirklich super!!! Liebe Natalia, vielen Dank für dein Hiersein und deine kompetente Hilfe. Gern begrüßen wir dich wieder bei uns. Komm gut heim und lass von dir hören. Du bist stets ein willkommener Gast auf unserer Finca. Herzliche Umarmung - Claudia und Volker
Vom Workawayer (Emilia) für Host
Für alle Leute die schon mehrere Stellen bei Workaway hatten, wird schnell klar, dass dieses hier wirklich unter vergleichsweisen Luxusbedingungen stattfindet!
Ein ganzes Haus (meistens) komplett für sich, mit großem Bett, Fernseher, Sofa, eigener Kochecke…
Man blickt bis runter zum Meer und manchmal sogar über die Wolkendecke!
Außerdem ist der
… read more süße Ort Las Tricias ganz in der Nähe. Dort gibt es einen kleinen Laden, ein ausgezeichnetes Café und es ist ein super Wanderstart.
Von der Umgebung abgesehen, haben mich auch Claudia und Volker super nett willkommen geheißen! Die Arbeit war nie zu anstrengend und immer sehr gut in der Zeit schaffbar.
Trotz teilweise deutlich gegensätzlicher politischer Einstellungen war ein sehr gutes Miteinander möglich.
Bei der Hin-und Abreise hat mich Volker netterweise nach Puntagorda gefahren. Und von Claudias Backwaren konnte ich auch glücklicherweise kosten :)
Ich würde diese Stelle auf jeden Fall für eine entspannte und naturnahe Zeit auf der Insel empfehlen.
Danke an Claudia und Volker, dass ich da sein durfte!
Alles Gute für die Zukunft!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

We had the pleasure of hosting Emilia at our finca for a fortnight. She is incredibly friendly, attentive and respectful. She brought a wonderful positive energy to us.

Emilia was reliable and committed. She was always ready to help and approached every task with a calm and cheerful attitude. We really appreciated her presence here. Many thanks, dear Emilia, for the good conversations and new impulses. We wish you all the very best for the future. If you ever find yourself in La Palma again, you are always a welcome guest here :-))) A big hug from Claudia & Volker
Vom Host für Workawayer (Susan)
Susan came to stay with us for two and a half weeks at the beginning of January. It was just the right time because the garden was in a really bad state after a severe storm with lots of rain and hail at Christmas 2024. But Susan restored the garden with a lot of hard work, expertise and sensitivity. It was a wonderful time with Susan, who calmly

Lots of nice contacts, lots of new experiences and lots more sunshine (unfortunately it was pretty cold here ;-))) A big hug - Claudia and VolkerFeedback

Lottie was a great help to us for 13 days. During this time, she pruned old vines and made sure that our garden was neat and tidy again after rain and storms. Lottie carefully swept paths and seating areas and weeded every day. She fed our cats and treated them with great affection. In addition, Lottie cleaned the wooden house as well as the sash

Dear Lottie, 1000 thanks for your help and especially for the funny self-painted farewell gift :-))) It will have a place of honour. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best on your way and for your future plans.
Best wishes and a big hug Claudia and Volker
Vom Workawayer (Sanne ) für Host
Even before I was on La Palma I felt verry welcome in Las Tricias! Claudia gave me this feeling allready in her messages to me. Also when I met Claudia and Volker for the first time in real life I felt emidiatly at ease. They are warm, relaxed and friendly people. So fun and interesting to talk to.
I've really enjoyed my stay in the little wooden

The suroundings are so beautiful and in las Tricias there is a nice café and a little supermercado. But Volker was happy to take me to the bigger shop or to bring something with him.
If you like peace and quit and beautiful pine forests...this is the right place for you. Strongly recommended :).Dieser Workawayer hat sich dafür entschieden, sein Profil privat zu schalten, kann aber von anderen Workawayern bezüglich dieses Feedbacks kontaktiert werden.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Sanne )
Sanne is just such a likeable, nice person. From day one, she integrated perfectly into our everyday life. She is very calm and empathetic. During her 14-day stay, she did so much in the garden, sweeping leaves, weeding and planting new things. Sanne has painted and cleaned windows. She did everything that needed doing. And all at an incredible

We only talked briefly about the tasks to be done and Sanne then carried them out perfectly. She also saw and did a lot of the work on her own initiative. I would also like to emphasise that Sanne left the wooden house so clean and tidy. A huge thank you for that!!!
Dear Sanne, thank you for staying with us. It was such a wonderful time with you. We wish you many great new experiences on your next travels. A big hug and come back if you like. Claudia and Volker
Vom Workawayer (Juliana) für Host
This was my first Workaway experience and I am infinitely grateful that I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the wonderful paradise of Volker and Claudia on La Palma. It truly is a gift to be able to work and live with them. From tasks such as picking oranges to weeding, sweeping, or painting, they are truly great tasks that offer a lot of

You get to sleep in a great, large wooden hut with your own kitchenette, bathroom, and sleeping and living area including a TV with lots of DVDs. We had wonderful, fun conversations and it felt like we had known each other forever from the first minute. Not to forget Claudia's excellent cooking and baking skills. You will love it, I promise. I thank them both for this wonderful time, great experience, and can only recommend them wholeheartedly to everyone. Thank you for everything - a big hug, JuleDu kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Having Jule with us was another great experience with workawayers. From the very first moment we had a
‘good connection’ with each other. It was as if we had known each other for years and were old friends.
With her friendly, calm and cheerful manner, Jule fitted in perfectly with our everyday life right from the start and
took on all the tasks

oranges and much more.
We had great, funny and serious conversations. We got on so well that Jule wanted to stay with us until around the
end of June, which we would have very much welcomed.
Unfortunately, Jule had to leave us at short notice after 14 days due to a sad family matter.
Dear Jule, we miss you and your loving, friendly nature as well as your energetic support every day.
Our hearts go out to you and your family.
We wish you all the very best. Our door is always open to you if you would like to come back to La Palma.
A big hug from Claudia and Volker
Vom Workawayer (Ella) für Host
Claudia and Volker were so kind to help me out last minute after my first workaway project on the island didn't work out. I stayed with them for 14 days, which allowed me to see a lot of the island.
I stayed in a lovely wooden cabin that I had to myself. It was spotlessly clean when I arrived and all the facilities (including a kitchen and
… read more bathroom) worked great. The house is in beautiful countryside but you can walk to the little town nearby to get the bus all over the island.
Claudia and Volker were so welcoming and helpful. They gave me lifts to town to get my groceries every week and also offered to drop me off in places if they were going that way. It is definitely possible to stay here without a car (but you will get strong legs from walking up and down the hills!)
The work they gave me was good and very manageable and they made sure i was okay and knew what to do. I worked for the expected hours or less if I got something done quicker and I never felt like they were taking advantage. Claudia is also an amazing baker and shared her delicious cakes and bread :))
I would definitely recommend staying with Claudia and Volker to anyone looking for a calm but adventurous time. As a women traveling alone I felt very comfortable with them and my stay on the island was great! Thank you Claudia and Volker!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Ella)
Ella stayed with us for 14 days and it was a wonderful time. Ella is a friendly, warm and lovable person. She fitted perfectly into our everyday life and could be deployed anywhere. Ella quickly familiarized herself with all the tasks and completed them independently and with flying colors. In the first week, she painted the wooden house in record

She did so many things that I can't even list them all :-))) Ella made sure the wooden house was clean and tidy and left it in a perfectly clean state. Absolutely fantastic. At the end, we received a wonderful gift and some loving words from Ella. We loved having her with us. Dear Ella, we are very grateful to you and wish you many good experiences on all your travels. If your path leads you to La Palma again, you are always welcome. Be warmly embraced - Claudia and Volker
Vom Workawayer (Clarice) für Host
I can only give very good feedback in all aspects. This magical place in Las Tricias appeared like a miracle for me, everything I wanted at this moment in my life came without any effort.
Everything was easy and fluid with Claudia and Volver from the beginning they have treated me very well I had a beautiful welcome with muffins and the best
… read more coffee in La Palma throughout my stay they treated me with love and respect and also they offered me a lot of independence and privacy which I really appreciate .
I had a beautiful little wooden house with a humble kitchen and a bathroom all to myself! with beautiful views where every day I enjoyed the sunsets and said goodbye to the sun sitting next to the avocado tree.
From the moment I entered the farm I felt it like a place of refuge for my soul.
The work has been very flexible from pruning, sweeping dry leaves or planting trees (typical field work) all done without pressure or rush giving me a lot of time to enjoy and take care of myself.
I could continue writing only wonders about them and the place, without a doubt I will return.
My entire experience exceeded my expectations. Lost of love and blessings for both of you 🙏❤️Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Clarica stayed with us for 14 days and it was a wonderful time. She is an incredibly likeable and open-minded person, respectful and loving in her dealings with others. Clarice cut a huge amount of trees and shrubs, planted flowers and bushes, watered the garden, looked after our cats and also kept the wooden house clean and tidy, with great

With her relaxed, positive manner, she made everyday life much easier for us. Clarice also has a great deal of empathy and a sense of when to be close or distant, which is very important to us. Dear Clarice, thank you so much for being with us. We wish you a safe journey and all the best for the future. And don't forget: Our doors are always open for you. Come back whenever you like :-))) A big hug and best wishes from Claudia and Volker
Vom Workawayer (Ruth) für Host
I was Claudia and Volker's first workawayer and I really enjoyed my time with them. They are both very sympathic people, always happy to help and they even took me on trips around the island. I had my own very nice room with bathroom and helped them set up a little kitchen for the workawayers. The work itself was mostly some gardening, cleaning
… read more and helping with painting. They made sure I hade enough free time to explore the island and relax. If you're looking for a quiet place close to nature, I would 100% recommend! There is limited wifi access so maybe not the place for digital nomads.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Ruth is a calm and prudent helper. She quickly and easily tidied up both the garden and the house. We really enjoyed the 16 days with her. Many thanks, dear Ruth, for your help. All the best for the future, happy travels and many nice encounters.
