The Experience

In the mornings, collaborate with us on building a small house made of wooden pallets and on waterproofing the roof. We're in the mountains and there are always maintenance and improvement activities :) If you love nature, you'll really enjoy it—a place to rest, do sports, and connect with slower rhythms.

Sonia and Pierre really welcomed us with their heart. They are very warm people. For the tasks and the hours, everything was respected even if really repetitive and hard for the body. We didn't get the best conditions because it was a lot raining. The area is very nice but very isolated so for sure you need a car and I would not to recommend to go alone because it's pretty empty environment. The small studio is nice and the bathroom even if very humid and outside of the studio is convenient. Sonia cooks very well and gives all of her heart.

I'm very sorry that Eva and Georgios say that the tasks were repetitive and hard, because they were informed of these before coming and they accepted. They cleaned herbs from the garden and the rest were crafts with reed, it's not particularly 'hard' work, but of patience and perseverance. We hope that even if they do not enjoy the tasks, the volunteers maintain their attitude because they are receiving what was agreed. We were very satisfied with them in the first days, and that's why we decided to extend the stay.

I stayed almost 2 weeks and did some basic cleaning, maintenance, repairs and garden work, every day was different. The private room is spacious with a small kitchen, but I also had good meals with the hosts. They are very welcoming and I was treated with respect. Strongly recommended

I was traveling with a friend to the farm. We had an amazing time there. The mountains and nature were wonderful it almost felt like a dream. This was our first time volunteering and the best we could imagine at Sonia's. She treated us like family, provided us a lot of delicious food and took us sometimes with her so we could explore different towns. The work was really fun and fulfilling. It was definitely not too much or too exhausting. Quite the opposite it was so much fun! Our little apartment we had to ourselves while being there was delightful we really enjoyed staying there!

Me and my friend went there together as our first volunteer experience and we could not have picked a better one! The place was beautiful and Sonia is the kindest person ever. She always made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel like we were part of her family :) I totally recommend this place to get in touch with nature and explore the island apart from all the tourists. We already miss it and hope we can return one day!!

I had planned to stay 15 days, but we had to shorten my volunteer period to 2 days due to a flood in the studio where Sonia was hosting me (it rained a lot and the studio flooded). That said, I enjoyed those two days very much: a beautiful house, a green environment, and a kind family. I enjoyed the tasks (cleaning and cooking). I lost track of time, and Sonia is a very fair person who respects the terms of the volunteer agreement for the well-being of everyone. Also, she found me a solution so that I could be hosted for 3 days. A positive experience. With all my gratitude, Sonia.
