The farm meaning "the proud hill". From the moment I arrived Danielle has been very welcoming. She's pretty straight forward & I really enjoyed that. Her cooking was amazing, always homemade w lots of veggies! I want to eat like her every day! She is very ecologically & environmentally aware & practices what she preaches. She has a strong work ethic and I can see that in the way she does things. The work is all very doable. I always enjoyed listening to her life stories. Overall very wholesome place. I wish Danielle lots of happiness & more beautiful moments in life.

Danielle was very friendly and welcoming, and I felt comfortable from the beginning. Even though my English isn't very good yet, everyone was very patient with me, which helped me practice and improve. During my stay, I learned a lot about sustainability and how to make compost, which was a really interesting and valuable experience. I'm very grateful for everything I learned and would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.

2weeks flown by. Danielle is welcoming and trusting, full of compassion and knowledge. Pechlafière is the heart of a forest. I didn't know a lot about Périgord and I left speechless. Danielle and Django took us around historical sites, caves, castles and villages.The work is doable: pool maintenance (occasional dips), gardening, help cleaning rented house and kitchen tasks. I learned tons about recycling, agriculture and what it takes to run such a place. I still dream about the all the yummy healthy food, countless aperos after swim in rivers, Sunday markets and Danielle's travel stories.

My time volunteering at Danielle's house was full of cultural learning experiences; we had great conversations during meals, Django took us to various cities and on different outings, and he also taught me many skills that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. There were so many stories and unique experiences—I recommend this to anyone who enjoys cultural immersion and prefers to be in a place away from big cities, The region is also full of historic cities and is a major tourist destination.

I've been very fortunate for having had this volunteer experience in the just last minute. I have some many wonderful things to say about Danielle and her son, Django, but I promise to be short. I felt very much belonged and cared by the time that I stayed there, and despite of the fact that I stayed for a short period because of hosts' personal plans, yet I felt blessed. I hope God bless this family endlessly, and many other volunteers are able to visit this kind people, place, and the small villages around.
