Amazing experience

Thoroughly enjoyed the week spent with Manuela and the project she has fostered in this beautiful secluded home. The house itself is surrounded by vast greenery and great for a peaceful escape from town life. The work itself involved all aspects of building up and maintaining the house – from helping with roof tiling to sweeping floors, all of which is done as a team, and makes you genuinely excited watching the progress of the houses development. It's clear that Manuela truly values the communal aspect, and the experience definitely makes you feel part of a family for a week. Gracias Manuela!

Pt2 The other people we met were amazing and it was such a comforting and relaxing place to be. On the weekends Manuela offered workshops for things such as connecting with nature and discovering different archetypes within yourself. I enjoyed it very much and got lots of value from it and felt connected with the people I did it with. If we wanted to work a different time it was fine as long as we told her in advance. The work we did was up to us, I wanted to work on my woodwork skills so I helped fix the roof liked painting so she painted a nice design over the door. Thank you Manuela!!

Pt1. Me and my girlfriend Summer loved our time Manuela's. Manuela was very welcoming and treated us like family - letting us use her house as if we lived there. The food was very nice and she bought us anything we needed for recipes we wanted to make or just for our own needs. The portion sizes were really good - as I eat a lot I was surprised to be full. The house itself was old but cosy with a wood fire that was running most of the time. We met some of Manuelas neighbours and they were really lovely people who gave us some lettuce to have for lunch and let us see their farm animals.

Our stay with Manuela was amazing! She is accommodating, flexible, and kind. She is also full of knowledge and wants to share what she knows. This is a great option for people who want to get into nature and the house itself is a beautiful cottage! There is work for everyone, whether it be painting, working outside, or cooking and cleaning. Highly recommend this experience!
