A lovely experience! Asli welcomed me into her home and treats you like a part of the family. Overall it was a lovely experience, helping the farm, in the restaurant and at home! The work hours are flexible but not pre determined so if you want a specific day of just ask! The only downside I would say is that the house is located very far out from everything, but there is a bus around a 20 minute walk from the house, so it is not too bad.Also you get one day of not two like stated in the listing. But aside from this I really enjoyed my the farm and would love to come again :)

Asli welcomes you in as family and creates a cosy environment to relax with delicious meals. The cultural immersion was awesome and I would recommend trying to pick up some Turkish beforehand. She is a hardworking and talented person giving you to try many different skills.I helped the farm, assisted the vineyard, served at the restaurant and did some child care all during my 3 week the farm. The work hours are flexible but not predetermined with a day off per week. I learned so much about Turkish cuisine I can't wait to make it back home. Thanks to all who made it a wonderful time!

The days I spent in Asli's home were very good! It's important to have in mind the place is in a very remote area and the public transportation is not easy to access. Just a few people speak english. I was lucky Asli drove me a few times to Bodrum and we went o the beach too. Also, bear in mind Asli needs someone available whenever she needs. There's no schedule and her life is very busy. It's a great opportunity to learn about local culture. Asli is a strong and hard worker woman and even though she is super busy I felt like she cared about me and she was there for me whenever I needed.

What a great experience with Asli and her husband. They will treat you like part of their family. Asli is a very hard working and admirable woman, you will learn a lot with her and I'm sure that she will use any skill you have. Her place is very comfortable and the food she cooks delicious. I'm sure you will enjoy your time with them.

Aslı and Haluk were wonderful hosts. Because of the Virus we couldn't do so much, so my tasks were to help Aslı with cleaning tasks in the day. It's located next to a small village and perfect for people who loves the nature, animals & food! We had nice conversations about politics and different cultures in the world! It was an amazing experience I will definitely come back one day! 😊

Asli and Haluk were really lovely and welcoming. My the farm was very enjoyable, the work was easy and the farm workshops were fun too! I even learnt quite a bit about food history and Turkish traditions on top of the recipes and the farm methods as both Asli and Haluk are very knowledgeable in this area. I had plenty of time to relax. The view from the house is breathtakig. 😍

It was lovely place and a great experience. I learned a lot about the farm and Turkish culture. I definitely recommend this place to all worldpackers, Asli and Haluk are awesome. Their house is beautiful and I had a bedroom for myself. The job is not hard at all, you have to help the farm, preparing the farm and do some cleaning after. Maybe a little gardening too. On free days I went to bodrum with them and they also took me to some other places.

I was at Asli and Haluk's house for almost two weeks and it was a very good experience. I had a room for myself during my entire the farm and all meals were included. My work was mainly maintenance and some carpentry tasks in the exterior of the house with Haluk, Asli's husband with whom I shared most of the time. Both are very good people very kind and very concerned at all times. I definitely felt at home and I would definitely recommend the experience

Overall it was a nice experience. I had all meals included and a bedroom for myself. Asli was a kind and polite host who I had interesting conversation about politics :) She even let my boyfriend staying for 2 days with us, he had only to paint her balcony in exchange. The job is easy, although the working hours weren't predetermined. She wants someone to the farm available for the whole day, so that you can't plan your day. She had a helper at the time, so I ended up having plenty of free time. I took care of the dog, did some house work and waitressing. She was very flexible with off days.
