Villa Como

Our villa is set in a stunning, peaceful mountain location — perfect for nature lovers seeking a tranquil escape. Surrounded by greenery, it offers cool temperatures thanks to high ceilings and thick stone walls, so there's no need for air conditioning.

The villa is full of old-world charm, with limited modern essentials like WiFi available. You'll have a private room (unless otherwise noted), though please note laundry services are not available.

A unique place, soak in natural beauty, and live simply. We look forward to hosting you!

I have lived and worked across the world, learning to adapt to and respect different cultures, genders, and people. I want each volunteer to enjoy their stay, complete tasks responsibly, share experiences, and have fun. Mutual respect for each other and the programme is essential.

I had really good time at the home. He i such a nice guy, communication was open and clear, if you have any questions, just ask. Work wasn't hard, sometimes a bit tiring but i think it's normal with renovations. Accommodation was really nice, can't wait for final results! I'd recommend going to the home!

My experience was really nice. The host was very welcoming and took good care of us. The room was very nice and the work hours were clear. He was opened to any adjustments we wanted. The work wasn't too hard, typical renovation, painting and cleaning, but I guess this can vary depending on the current project. Overall I would recommend, the area and the views are stunning

From the beginning, I never felt truly welcomed. It felt as if the host didn't really want us there. In my opinion, volunteering should be based on mutual respect, cultural exchange, and feeling welcome. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here. Some statements made about our behavior are not true, but I prefer to focus on what we experienced. After a very disrespectful interaction of the host, we decided to leave early. If you are looking for respect and time to explore the area, this may not be the right fit. Read all the reviews carefully before deciding.

I respectfully disagree with this review. Respect is two way. Lola and Tomás requested reducing the agreed 6-hour day to 5 hours on the first day, which I accommodated and a 8 am start so that Lola could do her full time work in Argentina. I found him inconsiderate of shared living arrangements, occupying the kitchen for extended periods, often gaming until the early hours of the morning, which significantly affected the host family's ability to enjoy their own home. I wish them both well!

In our experience, this stay did not meet our expectations . The workload was very heavy and could not be completed within the agreed 6 hours. We felt that the host treated us bad and we felt disrespected, respect is very important to us and the platform so we decided to leave earlier. Just so you know when making your choice, the work schedule and limited bus times make exploring difficult or even impossible. If you are looking for respect and cultural exchange, in our opinion this is not the right experience. We learned that reviews matter, so read them carefully.

I respectfully disagree with this review: the agreed 30-hour week was never exceeded (indeed, the volunteers requested reducing the agreed 6-hour day to 5 hours on their first day). I encourage prospective volunteers to read all reviews rather than relying on two disputed reviews. Lola's late-night work and loud family calls until around 2am, together with Tomás's extended gaming sessions occupying the kitchen until as late as 3am, demonstrated lack of respect/ consideration for the host family

From the beginning I felt a sense of mistrust, which made it difficult to feel comfortable. The sleeping arrangements left me cold at night, and the blankets and bathroom felt unhygienic. The environment (besides the other volunteers) was tense and not open to dialogue. Overall I felt unwelcome and not safe, so I decided to end my stay early.

We were disappointed by this volunteer's attitude. Despite being fully briefed on the living conditions before arrival, they showed little interest in participating and instead focused on creating friction within the house. We strive for a collaborative environment, but unfortunately, this guest was not a fit for the hardworking spirit of our community.
