I had an amazing time taking care of the castle's garden! The host and his family are kind and welcoming. You will enjoy good moments when they are here, and you are likely to miss them when they are away.
The accommodation is cosy and the nature that surrounds you is beautiful! It is a pleasure to step outside and start your gardening day!
If you have some common sens, gardening skills and appreciate to work in autonomy, I would warmly recommend this experience. I believe that it is suitable for a group of friends or for a single person seeking a calm environment and a contact with nature.

My experience in this volunteer was all I need. Chinon is a super cute town with a lovely surroundings. You have bikes to go around, and the conexións between citys is perfect. The work is not complicated, is mostly maintenance the outside of the home. Is better if you come with a friend or partner if you can't stand be by yourself alone...but for me was ideal. I love this parte France, full of châteaus and wine rutes. Completely recommend this experience. Super grateful with Will and Quintin for sharing and open their home 🙏✨

My experience at the home was excellent. Communication with the owner, Will, was always kind and attentive, and Quintin, who showed us the property and assigned tasks, was exceptional and inspiring. The work schedule was flexible, which was perfect for us as remote workers. The accommodation is very comfortable, and the provided bikes make exploring the surroundings easy. I fully recommend this experience.

My friend and I traveled to Chinon together and had such a great experience! Everything we could possibly need was provided for us and communication was great. Will and Quinton were amazing! We loved the towns and really got to experience Chinon and the neighboring towns! Quinton would message us about events happening in town which allowed us to engage with the locals! The hours are extremely flexible so it makes traveling around France doable. The work wasn't difficult and instructions were clear and easily to follow. 10/10 recommend, great experience!

I had the pleasure of staying at Le the home for around two weeks. It was my first experience with Worldpackers, and honestly, it couldn't have been better. Everything was great. The property is simply amazing, located in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts were very hospitable,making me feel right at home. They clearly explained what needed to be done and how I could do it. Everything went exactly as agreed between us. The tasks were a mix of outdoor jobs, such as mowing the lawn,trimming hedges,and other similar duties. Overall,I had a fantastic experience, I highly recommend it!

I had a great experience at the home! Me and my friend spent around 3 weeks there doing a mix of different jobs around grounds like trimming hedges, mowing the lawn etc. The hosts were very hospitable and kind, they told us everything we needed to know and gave appreciation for the work we did. We spent 20 hours a week working and the rest of the time was spent in a beautiful little town in the Loire valley. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Esta fue mi primera experiencia en WPs y realmente fue mejor de lo que esperaba! El lugar donde nos quedamos los voluntarios es muy cómodo, el pueblo y los comercios están cerca y hay muchos lugares donde puedes ir en bicicleta para disfrutar de la naturaleza. Quintin, el encargado, es muy amable y siempre está dispuesto a ayudar y fue muy atento con las necesidades de los voluntarios. En cuanto al trabajo, hay mucho que hacer en el jardín pero Quintin me ayudó a organizar las labores y me enseñó a usar algunas máquinas. Estoy muy agradecida de esta oportunidad, quedé encantada con Chinon!!
