Marie-Louise and Heikke were outstanding volunteers who always went above and beyond to complete the tasks set. They sanded, varnished, painted, cleaned and organised :) Absolutely gorgeous people to have around, always with a smile on their faces and a can-do attitude.
You are always welcome here or wherever we are.

Me and my husband had a very nice stay with Claudia and Juan Carlos. They are warm and loving persons that took so good care of us. We worked between 8-12 and sometimes more if We were really into the work. We painted a bunkbed and the walls in one room, varnished some shelves and some furnitures on the terass. We felt like home and their… read more

These two are such a delight ! Great energy, so helpful and responsive. They are easy to direct, always willing to help, and self motivated. I was on vacation in a very different time zone during a part of their stay, they didnt miss a beat and did the things they knew needed to be done even if i missed something !
Theyre always welcomed back !

Everyone will love this place! Javier was the most kind host you can meet. It was a kind, friendly atmosphere and we felt like being a part of a big family. It was our first workaway and I think we have to look hard to find a better place! We really loves the stay! I recommend everyone to take spanishlessons with Catalina😊

What we can say about MarieLouise & Heikki, they were a big surprise to us. They arrived with such a good vibe and energy, making it so easy to work with them. They were always ready to help whether they were on shift or not. It's a shame they stayed for such a short time, we would have liked to have them longer, not only because of how helpful… read more
