I had a really great volunteer experience here and would highly recommend it. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. They are flexible with working hours, especially during the summer when the weather can get very hot, allowing you to adjust your schedule to suit the conditions. They are genuinely kind, friendly people who care about their volunteers and create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. As an added bonus, they have two amazing dogs that make the experience even more memorable. Overall, it was a fantastic place to volunteer, and I'm very

Me and my friend came here with very few expectations and it surpassed those, we're sad to leave! The hosts are very friendly and flexible with work hours. The property is beautiful, along with the rooms given to us as volunteers. On our time off we were welcome to use any of the amenities (movie room, pool, games room). We worked inside the house (mainly painting, cleaning rooms/bathrooms, getting the house ready for guests) it was very fair work and hours. Overall great time, and would recommend anyone to apply!

I felt welcomed by the hosts and I'm grateful to them, but the tasks were sexist. I was given the cleaning tasks as the only woman and the guys were given maintenance and painting. Excluding 2 occasions, 3 meals a day meant ingredients to make the meals ourselves, which is an important distinction when you are also working for 5 hours a day. The hosts went on holiday without communicating what tasks they wanted done whilst they were away. They only communicated this with the male volunteers. It felt like I was working to make the hosts' even richer, rather than contributing to a good cause.

The place is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel at home. The work can be physically demanding, especially under the hot Spanish sun, so keep this in mind if coming in summer. For me, it was not a problem. I had a private room with bathroom and AC. I enjoyed riding the bicycle in my free time, although it needs some maintenance. The food is abundant and good quality. Since the owners are foreigners, don't expect a strong Spanish cultural experience. Overall, I had a very good experience and recommend it.

It was an intense experience, a lot of heavy and lonely work most of the time. it depends on whether you are a man or a woman the work is not equitable, many hours working in the rays of the Valencian sun which is very intense, even in April. the experience would have been better if we had been allowed to work as a team and not everything apart. It is understandable because we were only 4 men and a lot of work to do. However Kjetil and Svetlana were very loving to us and understood us helped what they could. they will be missed. thanks for all the experience and to treat us like we where home

I really enjoyed my stay here. :) The work was not too difficult or complicated but they took it very very seriously only because we were preparing the house though, otherwise it was super chill. Full access to the kitchen, laundry, and there's Barxeta town which is only about a 40 minute walk which was beautiful. There WERE some things that happened and things that could've gone way easier or done another way but they were minor compared to the fun I had there. Kjetil was extremely helpful and he'd drop me to the train station whenever I needed and never had a problem. ❤️

I loved my experience at the finca! The hosts are incredible people, very kind, welcoming and calm. You can feel the love and care they put into the place and their animals every day. The atmosphere is light, surrounded by nature, and I felt very welcome from the very first moment. It was an experience full of learning, genuine connections, and special moments that I will treasure with great affection. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic exchange, contact with nature, and truly wonderful hosts. I already miss Freya a lot ❤️

This was my first experience and the place is really beautiful, somewhat away from the city, ideal for hiking. I was warmly welcomed, the rooms are very well organized and the schedules are respected. I sincerely thank you for the experience! ❤️

The experience was positive! If you go, you should know that the finca is about 3 kilometers from Barxeta, a very small town. And about 10 kilometers from Xàtiva, the city where you have bus and train connections. There are a couple of bikes available. At the finca we had a room with a private bathroom and meals bought by the hosts. The volunteer hours and days were respected. The tasks are varied. If you are a man, you may do some construction and/or maintenance and if you are a woman, probably cleaning tasks.
