We offer this opportunity to FEMALES only because of the shared dormitory accommodation . We are also looking for helpers ideally that can speak spanish and english. I am english and the chef is spanish. At the Hacienda we have a wonderful organic rural location - offering the helpers a chance to practice their Spanish/English, learn vegan/vegetarian cooking, interact with people from all over the world, enjoy yoga/meditation classes when invited and to make friends with their fellow helpers. The Hacienda is in a rural location surrounded by olive groves and the rolling hills of Andalucia so if you enjoy nature, great weather, hiking and peaceful tranquility plus yoga and good food it will not disappoint. We are usually looking for max 4 helpers in total to assist with the housekeeping/cooking and be part of the Hacienda Team :) Here are the retreats happening in 2023 and nationality of the groups !

Here is a review from a recent volounteer helper Sofia, which best describes the environment - check out our other reviews on this site. "....This was my first volounteer placement and it was great! I spent a week at the retreat and will definitely be back in the future. Tracie is lovely, a great host that looks after her helpers. The work is simple (you work in shifts which makes it really easy) and worth it for all the perks: beautiful surroundings, the most amazing food and the chance to join in on yoga and meditation classes. The dorms where the helpers sleep are nice and comfy. Don't miss the chance of going on a trip to Montefrio on your day off. I had a great time at the retreat with my fellow helpers and got to relax in the beautiful surroundings. Thank you Tracie for a great first experience as a helper at your yoga retreat."

My time at the Hacienda retreat couldn't have been better. It is a beautiful, quiet place in the middle of olive fields where you can relax and we also got to take part in the yoga classes! The work was well communicated and it was interesting to help the chef in the kitchen and serve the guests. Tracie is an amazing host, her and the other volunteers made this experience unforgettable for me. Definitely recommend!

Mi experiencia en la Hacienda fue maravillosa, los turnos y horarios fueron bien definidos y respetados, las tareas no eran complicadas, además había mucho tiempo libre, entonces realmente me relajé y descansé. Tracie es una persona muy linda, siempre preocupada de que no les falte nada a las voluntarias, aprendí mucho de Che la chef quien es muy amable y divertida. Por otro lado, las demás voluntarias con las que compartí eran muy lindas personas,
mejoré mi inglés y tanto ellas como la anfitriona tuvieron paciencia y me ayudaban cuando no entendía algo. Muchas gracias!

This was my first volunteer experience and it couldn’t have been better. Tracie was really welcoming and full of energy. She was also really clear about what our tasks were and the routine/hours each day. The setting of the retreat is remote but so beautiful and really allows you to disconnect (definitely bring a book!). Che, the chef, cooked the most amazing vegetarian meals for both the guests and the volunteers each day and was more than happy to teach us her recipes. The guests were super friendly and we could join their yoga class when we weren’t on shift. Would definitely recommend!

My experience at the Hacienda was what I needed to disconnect, practice my English and connect with other travelers. Tracie is a very good host, generous with the volunteers and made us feel always super comfortable :) Also Che (the chef) was super kind to us and I learned some very delicious vegetarian meals from her.
The place is lovely and you can go for walks and see the sunset from beautiful spots near. But take into account that it's difficult to visit towns near or make touristic plans from there, if that's what you are looking for.
Thank you Tracie for such a lovely experience :)

Fue bastante bueno y me gustó la experiencia, La Hacienda es muy linda y está rodeada de olivos y lindas montañas. Traice y Che muy simpáticas y agradables, las tareas son sencillas, sin embargo es bastante difícil salir de la Hacienda sin vehículo, ya que está lejos del pueblo.. Asi que realmente es un lugar para un retiro y descanso después de las tareas diarias!! leer, meditar, yoga, dormir, tomar sol y caminatas entre lo olivos!! Lindo!
