Lucinda is warm and caring. She makes you feel right at home. Lucinda is very positive and upbeat, and wants everyone to have fun and enjoy their time while there. She is a wonderful host. The property is beautiful and very close to small towns, castles and nature walks.

I absolutely loved this experience! Henry and Lucynda are wonderful, warm, and very talkative people, and it was great that we could communicate easily in both English and Spanish. They made me feel very welcome from the beginning. They also have two beautiful dogs who quickly became part of the experience. The food was delicious and varied, which made the stay even better! I'm very grateful for my time with them and would happily recommend this place to other Worldpackers!

The 40 days were exceptional; Lucinda and Henry are incredible, very kind and cultured people, with whom you can have a fun moment or chat about history, culture, etc. I recommend this volunteering if you are looking to connect with nature and connect with yourself. Everything agreed upon is respected without issues; Lucinda cooks incredibly well and both of them make you feel at home.

Pablo and Laura were exceptional volunteers from the moment they arrived, both were polite, friendly, helpful and incredibly hardworking. They both did an incredible job painting our house. They worked carefully and to a very high standard.Laura was particularly loving and kind with our two Maltese dogs. She was gentle and caring towards them, and they absolutely loved having her around.We would happily recommend Pablo and Laura to other hosts. They are hardworking, considerate and kind.

Our experience with Henry and Lucinda was really very good. From the first moment they made us feel very comfortable and treated us with a lot of affection and kindness. They are very attentive, generous people and always willing to help.💖
Lucinda cooks exquisitely, and it was a real pleasure sharing meals with them. In addition, they took the trouble to take us for a walk and show us different places, which made the experience much more special and allowed us to know and enjoy the surroundings.
The volunteer tasks are simple. Also, they provide you with all the tools.
