The Experience

This is a house inside a protected heritage neighbourhood by a famous Finnish architect. It is in an absolute priviledged home to see Northern Lights and has the best sunsets and sunset colours ever, right from the windows. Our 2 cats will be alone while we are on vacation and we are exclusively putting this add so someone can take good care of them.

I can only say good things about this experience. From the first day Lilian and Antonio were very kind and welcoming. The tasks were very clear and I really enjoyed doing them. I had a very good time during the working hours and also talking, playing cards, watching a movie all together while having hot chocolate or dinner, having a picnic in the boat, or even trying to find the Northern lights. (And many other things) The place, the food, the people... absolutely everything was really really nice! Thanks a lot for all the beautiful moments and memories! ❤✨

The experience with Liliana and Antonio was very positive and they are truly kind. They are too modest to admit but they are doing an incredible work to revitalise the space and create multiple opportunities for the local community to engage and grow. They started the renovation of the space by themselves and did a super job so far, but there still much to do and the volunteers have plenty of opportunity to contribute and learn practical skills. They are flexible and open, by moments they are busy with guest but always took the time to listen and clarify any questions or needs.

This experience was completely different from anything I've experienced before. Living by the lake, surrounded by the forest and far away from the noise of city life, was truly peaceful and refreshing. I was welcomed by such a kind and lovely family, which made the experience even more special. Thank you for such an incredible stay! If you're looking to reconnect with yourself and with the host, this is definitely the place to be. Highly recommended! 🌿💚

From the moment I arrived, Antonio and Lilian were super warm and welcoming, making sure that I was comfortable with my stay and my work tasks. The housekeeping responsibilities were straightforward, and there were also adhoc campsite tasks like painting and landscaping! Antonio was such a great cook and meals on work the host were the best part which I always looked forward to. We also had meals together with the fam sometimes 🤍 It was a lovely volunteer experience, you can see the positive energy that the hosts wanted to channel. I'm thankful and will always remember it fondly :)

From the first moment on they made me feel like I was part of there Familie. They are open-minded, friendly and so welcoming people. They always had a open ear for me and where always there for me. I had wonderful conversations with them and a lot of fun. With them I found a home away from home. So I can only recommend them to everyone.
