Michael is a really lovely man. We walked the 3 super cute and friendly dogs in the morning, made breakfast and dinner for Michael each day and ate together. The room we stayed in was really lovely and clean. Michael has disabilities and doesn't chat too much and struggles to walk but is very nice. I had a good time with Michael and Maria (his carer) inthe farm and would be happy to chat to anyone interested in visiting Michael and volunteering here!

There were a lot of things I loved about my experience. The island is beautiful, the town and beaches are lovely, the dogs are sweet, and the property is really nice. The work itself was easy and our days off were respected. However, some parts of the experience were quite different from what the profile led me to expect, and there were a few things that weren't mentioned beforehand. I think being a little more transparent about these things would help future volunteers know what to expect.

I came here with my friend Jac and we had a lovely time onthe farm. Michael is nice and the work is easy leaving lots of time to explore the island. Our tasks included making breakfast and walking the dogs then Michael would assign us a task. Then in the evening we prepared dinner and washed up. Easy! The house is situated close to town and lovely beaches. To note: Michael's illness now means he isn't able to offer the cultural exchange or tours so a lot of the time is to yourself so bring books etc to be entertained Our 2 days off were respected but we decided to continue walking the dogs.

There were a lot of things I enjoyed about my experience - the town is beautiful, the dogs are sweet, and the property is beautiful. However, it was very different from what the profile led me to expect. There is a lack of transparency that needs to be addressed when it comes to Michael's health, the working hours, and expectations. We had several miscommunications. Wishing all the best in the future for Michael, Maria, and all the lovely animals!

Our experience has been very positive in every aspect. The room and the house were excellent, very pleasant and with a beautiful garden. The tasks assigned were very manageable and the host always respected the schedules. Additionally, we did an activity together that was highly recommended. Special mention for the dogs, which are adorable. We also really liked the town; it has a wonderful tourist atmosphere, especially in summer. Without a doubt, a very peaceful and highly recommended stay.
