The experience with Hilde at her countryside house was unforgettable. We received a mother's love right from the start. Besides being one of the best bakers I have ever met in my life, she always communicated with respect, leading by example on how to complete our assigned tasks. The place where they live is simply beautiful. The view of the eco village, along with all its hidden spots and towns, made us fall in love from the very beginning. It is the perfect place to truly experience the "vita lenta." We will remember this experience with affection and nostalgia, and we hope to return someday.

I had a positive experience at Villa Castelletto. The location is beautiful, the volunteer apartment is comfortable, and the hosts were always kind and welcoming. Hildegard always had some surprise meals for me every now and then: pizzas, apfelstrudelen, and more! The hosts have high standards and appreciate attention to detail, so it's a good fit for volunteers who enjoy outdoor and diversified work. We did something different most days, so it never got boring. In summer, the apartment can get quite warm, so come prepared. I'm grateful for the experience and would happily recommend it.

Hildegard and Norbert were lovely hosts. We had a lot of yummy fresh food made for us and got to learn new healthy cooking skills. The property and surrounding nature was beautiful. A very quiet place and town if you like to disconnect for a while.

Hildegard and Norbert are lovey souls. They care about living a sustainable lifestyle on their land to keep healthy. They were kind, understanding, and diligent towards me during my stay. I enjoyed tasks regarding firewood the most, including: cutting, stacking and building the shelter for it. Thank you both for our time together, it was a pleasure.

Volunteering at the eco village was a wonderful experience. ❤️ The activities are easy to carry out and well organized. Hilde is like a mother: caring, available and affectionate; she can be strict, but also very sweet. In addition, she is excellent at making desserts! 🤤 I will miss her delicious apple cake very much. 😍 In my free time and during the days off, we were able to visit several locations around the lake, which made the experience even more special. I am truly grateful to have lived this beautiful experience. Highly recommended! 🤩

I spent a wonderful month volunteering at this rural inn on the Lake of the Eco Village. It was a real pleasure to meet Hildegard, Norbert and Mabrit and to collaborate with gardening and cleaning in a quiet and welcoming environment. I felt very welcome and I will carry with me beautiful memories of this experience immersed in nature. I learned so many new things. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic, peaceful, and family-oriented place where you can help, learn and live in touch with nature. I will carry with me many beautiful memories from this time on the Lake of the Eco Village.
