The place is cool, the view of the lake is amazing. Don't come thinking it's a holidays house, there is always work to be done during your 30h of volunteering… the food for the meals is available, you just have to cook for yourself. There is a collective lunch 2x per week and someone + volunteer will cook for the whole house. It's a cool experience and you will meet people from everywhere (over 7 countries), it's a good place to have some language exchange. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Cheers!

My time in the eco village was incredible 🤩. Alberto and Theo, are excellent hosts that anyone I could ask. They make everyone feel at home 🏡 and they are very clear about the tasks they must perform volunteers. In the eco village one can meet interesting people, learn from different cultures 🌍, I appreciate Alberto, lucila in taking part of his time to teach me his culinary art, very good cooks, the place is super nice a lovely view in front of the lake, Theo has extensive knowledge about permaculture, 🌻🌹☘️🌞 you learn a lot. It is a super productive experience, I recommend it.
