My experience at this place was absolutely amazing. House and its surrounding is a very good energy that helps you rest and evolve. I'm really grateful that I could come to this place. Joana is an amazing, carrying and big hearted person. She helped me improve me Spanish a lot, and was always very happy as I was progressing.
She also taught me how to make a real Valencian paella.
I felt like at home.
I highly recommend this place.

What a wonderful experience for my first WorldPacker stay. Juana has a lovely home in the mountains near Valencia. She takes care and pride in making people feel welcomed in her home. I met several groups and individuals from Argentina and Spain and had the opportunity to learn and practice Spanish. Juana speaks English very well and acted as translator and host. The work was invigorating as it involved helping to cultivate her land with many types of fruit trees, olive trees and other beautiful plantings. I learned much about the area from her as she has lived in the area for many years!

Our experience at the home has been delightful! Juana is an outstanding cook and the perfect host, very friendly and kind. She taught us spanish and how to make Paella and Sangria! She brought us to her chorus practice and to some really beautiful places. It has been the best experience we could ask. Very recommended!

This was such a wonderful experience !! the home is such a magical place, with a thousand cute little nooks ! Juana is amazing, in less than 2 weeks she became like a grandmother to me 🫶 If you love nature, food (she's an incredible cook) and long talks at sunset, then this is the volunteering for you !

During the trip, I felt at home with my grandmother. On the first day of my stay, I cooked wood-fired Paella with Juanna's friends. This was the most delicious Paella I have ever had. I am very lucky to have had such an experience. Juanna is a real master of cooking. Every day, thanks to Juana, we ate various Spanish and not only dishes. It was very tasty. Breakfast overlooking the dawn in the mountains was a separate kind of enjoyment. In her free time, Juanna showed me beautiful places around the village, and once even took me to a rehearsal in the choir. I learned to sing church songs in La

We had a very nice experience with Juana. She is very kind, she cooks very well, and she took us to see some beautiful places in the region. I also learned quite a bit of Spanish with her and really enjoyed our after-dinner conversations.
The house is very pleasant, cool, surrounded by trees and in a very quiet place. And Tristán and Cala are such sweethearts.
Thank you for having us and for all you shared, Juana. We’re left with very fond memories from these weeks.

My experience was truly outstanding! Juana is an amazing woman, with a wealth of knowledge and culture to share. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature and with her two dogs, Kala and Tristan, who are inseparable companions. The meals she prepares are delicious, and the tasks are very well organized. In our free time, we went for walks and explored the region (which is beautiful). I wish I could have stayed longer, learning and sharing unforgettable moments. Thanks for everything, Juana!

Juana is an incredible, inspiring person with a huge heart and generosity. Time with her was much more than a simple exchange; it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Juana opened the doors to her home and made me experience unforgettable moments, both in nature and in the beauty of the place and its culture. Deeply grateful for everything I learned and for the time we shared. I felt at home. ❤️

We couldn't have had a better first experience with Worldpackers. Juana welcomes you into her home and treats you like family. She is a wonderful person, curious, generous, and energetic. Everything was as described in her profile, and more.
The surroundings are spectacular, nestled in mountains and pristine nature.
We traveled with our little dog Numa and she was welcomed by Cala, Tristán, and Juana as one of the pack. She enjoyed it as much as we did during this spectacular stay.
Each meal of the day is a gathering of conversations and enjoyment, where sampling Juana's cooking is a pleasure. THANK YOU!!
