Chateau Duviella

We are a very sociable, family home, with many volunteers, children, dogs which makes for a fun and relaxed environment. We do all work hard during the day, which makes the relaxation time even sweeter at the end of each day.

Volunteers and guests are treated respect, each volunteer is given a list of projects and task for them to do during their stay with us and it is their own responsibility to manage their own time. We provide a comfortable home, good food and relaxed company and in exchange we ask for your motivation and time.

I had such a lovely and fun time staying with Faye and her beautiful daughters. I felt at ease and welcomed instantly. Such a beautiful house and life they have set up together! The work was very reasonable and Faye was always there to help out with ideas, planning and materials when I required.
Thank you so much Faye!!!!

Truly not enough good things I can say about my stay at Chateau Duviella. Faye is so kind and welcoming that you feel at home the second you get picked up from the station. The property is the perfect to relax and unwind in the French countryside. The work is hard, but satisfying and fun when done as a group. During my stay I was able to connect and share my time with other volunteers, in the process making lifelong friendships. I loved my stay and can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely reccomended, an amazing experience to be in contact with nature, meet people and have fun. The work was tough at times but incredibly interesting and rewarding. The house is super nice, with lots of games and places to enjoy your free time, Faye, Mariyah and Isabelle are wonderful, communicative guests that make you feel part of their family, the food is amazing and Sam and Scratch (their dogs) are adorable. The walks and bike rides around the beautiful countryside and the towns nearby are really enjoyable. This was my first worldpackers experience and I loved every second of it!

Ha sido una experiencia increíble, la recomiendo 100%. Ha sido mi primera experiencia worldpackers y, a pesar de que mi nivel de inglés no es el mejor, me he sentido muy bien acogida.
El lugar es precioso y la casa muy acogedora, perfectos para descansar y dar paseos por la naturaleza, caminando o en bici.
El trabajo es flexible y, aunque en ocasiones exigente, ha sido divertido poder compartirlo con otros voluntarios con los que he vivido bonitos momentos.
Sin duda Faye, Isabelle y Mariyah son excelentes anfitrionas. Muchas gracias por todo! <3

This was the first time I did a volunteer work from this website and the whole time I was wondering why hadn't I tried it before! it was one of the most memorable experiences that I will cherish forever in my life. Chateau Duviella and Faye and her family made us feel so welcome and comfortable at all times. the work was structured and organised with all the equipment being provided by Faye. Working and living there were wonderfully balanced. The food, the hospitality and the dinner table games and conversations are a cherry on the top. will definitely recommend this and would love to revisit.
