My time there was awesome! The villa is beautifull and very peacefull with a lot of contact with nature. the work was easy and Ale, Elkin, and Andrea, who run the place, are really welcoming. In more than one month I've never felt myself working, because the work there is really easy. I am really happy that I had this experience. Highly recommended!

Good experience! A nice villa which was my first time trying worldpackers, some weeks great and agreed hours and some lacking… as another review mentioned, working with Andrea is certainly difficult and when he was at the villa working hours went up significantly. During his time there days off weren't agreed upon and the 2 per week promised was not kept to. The accommodation was changed halfway through my stay to a small room with three beds where I frequently found mice droppings in the room.

The guest house is a very quiet and peaceful place. If you want to spend time outside with not too many people around and realx a little, this is perfect. It was a bit difficult to reach other places from there because it wasn't that central but it's not a big problem to ask Manolo for a ride. The tasks were not too difficult and the work hours were also respected. I'm so happy that I had such a great time with the other volunteers and we got along so well. Thank you very much for welcoming me so kindly (and letting me improve my Spanish a bit) and also to Andrea for taking care of everything.

I want to say thanks for the stakeholders, I felt well welcomed. It's such peaceful, chill place (if you love nature it is a plus). It's recommended if you seeking such calm place to focus on your studies, also to appreciate the nature around the corner (it's really beautiful). Thanks Ale and Pablo for the shared moments, you guys turned it even more funny!! ;)
