Me and my girlfriend stayed there for 3 weeks. the farm had a whole little house for us kitchen and bathroom included. She cooked everyday for us even on the weekends and there was always enough and also very tasty food from her garden. We worked during her week in her garden amd on the werkend she always had some trips (to the sea or her friends or even further) we could join. Her pets are so lovley and esters personality is just very positive and fun to be around. We enjoyed our trip a lot and wish her the best !!!

We had a great experience at the farm's house, and would recommend it to everyone! We worked during the week, completing tasks such as building a greenhouse, potting plants, building composts and more. Outside of working hours we spent time at the beach, exploring the local area and spending time in her beautiful garden with her pets! the farm is a wonderful host, who was more than happy to take us with her to the beach, welcome us to enjoy breakfast and meals with her, and was very patient with our lack of Spanish and helping us to learn. We miss the farm and her yummy cooking already!

We had a wonderful time with the farm. Her garden is beautiful & we could've spent all our time there even when we weren't helping with jobs such as potting plants & building structures. The private cabin is really nice and so are the local towns & villages with beautiful rivers & beaches. the farm made us feel completely at home. She made sure we were confident with tasks, was incredibly patient with our (very limited) Spanish & enjoyed helping us learn. Her cooking was great & she gave us opportunities to join trips out & be part of family occasions. We loved her two cuddly cats and dog too!

The farm is a lovely person and fantastic hostess. In addition to ordinary Handyman tasks, we repaired greenhouses, built composts and doing gardening. The accommodation is great: we had our own bedroom and a small kitchen. the farm was always helpful and had a lot of patience with our beginner Spanish. Not only did we learn a lot of Spanish (Basic Spanish is really recommended) but above all we got to know the fresh, vegetarian, delicious Chilean cuisine through the farm. Thanks for all!

No imaginábamos que el voluntariado en la casa la maravillosa Esther, sería tan increíble! Sin duda es la mejor experiencia que hemos tenido voluntariando, ella es muy amable, cuenta historias geniales y nos llevó a lugares increíbles! Estuvimos ayudando con carpintería y pintura en la casa, sin duda lo recomendamos! Gracias Esther!
