I had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable stay in the picturesque countryside of France, hosted by two extraordinary French gentlemen. From the moment I arrived at their charming 17th-century farmhouse, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, hospitable, and amiable, making me feel like part of their extended family from the very start. Their kind-hearted nature created an instant connection, and I immediately felt at ease in their company. Throughout my stay, David and Alain ensured that every meal was filled with pleasant co

Alain, David and Floriane are wonderful hosts and I felt in a very friendly and familiar environment. The tasks were clear and Alain always taught me how to do it and explained me if I had any doubts. David is such a wonderful chef and was always there for anything I needed. Floriane was really helpful, kind and friendly. They all were very patient in helping me to practice and improve my French. I met very interesting people in my stay that made this experience even better, both French but also from other places. I really recommend this experience and hope to return and see Farah, Uli & Uta!

Alain and David are both such nice people! I met really nice locals while staying there and enjoyed the work I was assigned. David and Alain were welcoming and never made me feel out of place, it was an amazing first experience for me. David, thank you for all the amazing food :) Thank you both for an amazing experience! Just something to note, they are situated in a small town and will have to drive you to the train station should you want to travel on your off days - they don't mind doing this, it's just something to note :)

Fue mi primera experiencia como voluntaria, y la verdad superó mis expectativas, nada más llegar amé el lugar, mi habitación fue muy bonita y cómoda, la casa está rodeada de naturaleza pura y viva y eso la hace más acogedora y hermosa, David y Alan son muy buenas personas, siempre están atentos si necesitas de algo, la comida del día a día muy rico, y gracias al Chef David por compartir sus deliciosas recetas conmigo, él tiene la cocina de mis sueños🤩. Ah y también si te gustan las mascotas ellos tienen 3 perritos dormilones😄 Sin duda lo recomiendo 100 x 100, fue una experiencia magnífica.

Fue un muy lindo y tranquilo comienzo, para ser mi primer voluntariado. El cuarto en el que estuve era enorme y hermoso, me sentí segura y súper cómoda. David cuida cada detalle para que puedas sentirte cómoda, es súper amable y carismático, y no por nada casi todas las reseñas mencionan su comida, el mejor chef! También Allan, de él puedes aprender mucho sobre construcción y jardinería, además de ser una persona también muy interesante Tuve oportunidad de conocer Bordeaux, una ciudad cerca que me enamoró y de ir a un carnaval en Nice Les agradezco muchísimo chicos, abrazo
