I spent a week in Danijela's home. It was an amazing experience. She is adorable and her cats and dogs too. I mainly helped her to clean and renovate the house. The place is so peaceful and lovely. I will return there for sure.

We spent our time at Danijela's and Sonja's homes during our stay. They were both extremely welcoming and made us feel comfortable and at home, as well as providing everything to us we needed. We learnt a lot during our visit, found the work beneficial and helpful to learn and build more skills we can use in the future. Absolutely lovely people and 100% recommend this visit to anyone looking to gain knowledge about Croatia and permaculture :)

I volunteered with both Danijela and Sonja. They were both lovely, welcoming and flexible with working hours and days. The work was fun, I learnt lots of new skills and information about permaculture. The village is beautiful and great for walks. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're into ecology and want to learn about living a self sufficient life style. The food is delicious, you deffo will not go hungry!

Danijela, Sanja and Danica treated me like one of the family. It was my first volunteering in Europe and they treated me super well. I learned a lot about Croatia and its culture. They also cook a very tasty meal 🤭. I hope to return soon 🥰.

I had a great time at this experience. The three hosts were all very nice and treated me like a family. I worked at all of their places and stayed at two of them. The work was, especially at the beginning, tiring due to the physical labor, but you can get used to it day by day. And the nature of the village was beautiful and peaceful, the villagers were hospitable and had a close relationship with one another. Most of them speak English, so don't worry even if you don't speak Croatian. I recommend any nature lovers and those who are interested in staying in a village to do this volunteering.
