I really enjoyed my time at the studio! Antonella is a wonderful yoga teacher. I really appreciated eating Simone's healthy cooking every day, and the house and beach were lovely. One thing to note is that this experience is not “shift-based” like some Worldpackers experiences, so you are very integrated with the retreat's daily schedule (cleaning up after every meal) and participate in everything (which was really fun - especially going to Granada or Nerja for the day with the guests!), but also means alone time/free time is harder to come by. I am so grateful and hope to come back:)

I'm really grateful for my three weeks with Antonella and Simon. After a little adjustment at the beginning, I really enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere they created. I especially loved teaching Yin Yoga and joining Antonella's morning Vinyasa classes, which inspired me and helped me grow a lot in my own practice. Beyond yoga, I also felt I grew as a person through the meaningful conversations and open-minded environment. I'm leaving with beautiful memories and lots of gratitude. 🤍

thank you Issy for your beautiful words and for being part of our yoga family for few weeks. It was lovely to share our yoga practice with you and to see your passion for both Yin and Vinyasa grow. We will remember you with great affection and gratitude.

I loved my stay with Antonella and Simone, as well as with the other guests that were there during my time there. They were extremely welcoming and made me feel at home from day one.
The tasks were simple and consisted of basic housework such as doing the dishes, cleaning and vacuuming. The yoga classes were amazing and I especially loved the morning sessions on the beach. The house is just a few steps from the beach, which made the experience even more special.
I also loved using the paddleboard, which they provided, as well as the delicious food that Simone prepared every evening

It was an enriching experience. Antonella is a wonderful yoga teacher. I learned a lot both as her student and also by teaching Yin Yoga in English.
Antonella and Simon have a very light and humorous energy. The conversations at mealtimes are super interesting and lively, also a lot of cultural fusion. The chance of you also connecting with the guests is very high. Wonderful and healthy food prepared by Simon. The household chores are very simple, they give us a lot of free time. It contributed to my overall well-being, physically, psychologic and professionally. I highly recommend it :)

I had a wonderful time with Antonella and Simone. The work was not difficult (helping with yoga, setting the table, cleaning, making beds, and talking with the guests), and you also have free time even on working days. We did many excursions! The food Simone cooked was always healthy and delicious as well.
Since this was my first Worldpackers experience, I was sometimes unsure at the beginning about what exactly my tasks were and whether I was doing them correctly, which caused problems. But we were able to talk about it and after that, everything was fine 😊

This place is absolutely wonderful! You'll be right in front of the beach, practicing yoga every day and enjoying healthy, delicious food. Antonella and Simon are such kind people, and communication with them is always smooth and easy. My tasks were very simple to complete, and I had plenty of free time for myself. Castell is a beautiful place to spend time, relax, and explore.

I can only recommend to go to Castell de Ferro in order to support tho lovely Yogi Couple from Italyy!!
They helped me from the second I arrived with getting me from a bus station after arriving at the airport: although actually I was supposed to help them to teach yoga and make sure that the house is clean and everything is nice for the guests, Antonella and Simon helped me a lot during the stay because they are extremely empathetic and have seen a lot in life…
Besides amazing yoga classes, I went home with extremely valuable life lessons and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you!

I had an amazing time volunteering at the studio. Antonella and Simon are really amazing, caring, lovely and fun people to be around. You feel like in a family, I really appreciate every dinner we had together, that felt like family dinner, even though it was with people from all around the world <3 It is an opportunity to improve and practice yoga every day, to meet amazing people, to spend time in a calm environment next to the beach. Doing yoga every morning at the beach was amazing.And if you are lucky you might even see the dolphins!

I had a nice time in Castell de Ferro. I liked the place, because it was 2 minutes to the sea. Every morning yoga class outside in front of the sea. Nice little group, international guest in different ages. To give the yin yoga class in English was a very good experience for me. The hosts are very organized and friendly. Simon was the cook- it was very delicious vegetarian food.

I had a wonderful time at the yoga retreat. The atmosphere was warm and family - like and I always felt welcome and well cared for. Simón cooks delicious vegetarian meals with a modern twist - I'll expecially miss the chocolate for dessert;) The work was very doable, leaving me plenty of free time to enjoy the beach and be part of the excursions, which made the experience even more enriching. I also loved the yoga sessions and spending time with the lovely cats. Antonella and Simón are a fantastic team and I'm very greateful for this experience. Highly recommended!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
