My experience at the home was truly a dream come true. I had the best time, feeling so happy and peaceful throughout my stay. The house I stayed in is absolutely beautiful, and the surroundings are stunning. Amy and Matt are wonderful hosts, both kind and friendly. I enjoyed cleaning the mansion and cooking for them and their family, which was a memorable highlight for me as a cook. I look forward to returning someday. I sincerely thank Amy and Matt and appreciate everything they did for me, including the opportunity to volunteer at their beautiful place. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed my time at the home. Amy and Matt were welcoming, flexible and respectful throughout my stay, and I appreciated being able to experience their beautiful property and the peaceful surroundings of Provence. the home is a lovely place to spend time, surrounded by nature and with a slower, quieter rhythm that I really enjoyed. I was grateful for Amy and Matt's generosity in hosting me and for the respect and consideration they showed during my stay. Thank you both for having me at the home. I'm grateful for the experience and for the time I spent there.

Matt and Amy were very welcoming and great with clear communication and direction. They offered a nice variety of work that was flexible in timing. The guest house is idyllic, super spacious bedrooms rooms and kitchen living, with a beautiful outlook onto the fields. The nearby town has everything you need and a lot of organised free events too. I spent a lot of time at the local lake to beat the summer heat, and lovely morning strolls with the hot air balloons around. It was the perfect retreat into provence life!

Amy and Matt are very kind and attentive. The assigned tasks are related to maintaining the garden and helping around the house (housekeeping), nothing complicated, and the schedules are flexible. The house they provide is super lovely and comfortable; you have everything you need to feel at ease (kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine). The region is very beautiful and peaceful, and there’s a lake nearby. The city center is just a 10-minute bike ride away. It was a very positive experience, and one I would definitely repeat.

Very cool place, the property is big and often needs very boring repetitive tasks but I think the work was fair for the exchange. I will say if you have a fear of bugs this place is NOT for you, also a VERY dusty property. Overall the hosts are super flexible and nice I would note extra that they do not provide meals and the groceries in this town are very expensive and so are the limited restaurants. If you are looking for a quiet space to clear your head this is a good space. If you want an exciting experience or a communal one I would look else where. Also the if you I enjoyed my stay!

Amy and Matt were great hosts. I enjoyed my time connecting with nature, helping with some painting, cleaning, and maintenance jobs around their beautiful farmhouse and garden, and even spent some quality time with their very cute Bichon. It is quite rural, so beware of spiders. But overall, it's a great opportunity if you're looking for an escape from the city in rural French life. There is great olive oil and wine, and the environment encourages lots of walking. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is a great stay with quite a bit of flexibility of working hours and tasks.

I really enjoyed my time here. Amy and Matt were both lovely and friendly. They were great at giving jobs that matched your skills and what you want to be doing. For me that was outside in the gardens. The location is great, a good place to slow down and enjoy life. The town and lake were great to explore and both easily accessible by bike. The wifi got fixed on my last day there so everything is back connected.

The tasks worked very well for me and were very clear, exactly as agreed. Amy and Matt were always very nice and kind to me, and I felt comfortable and very good in the house. The property is truly beautiful, as is the location. The wind even smells like lavander and every day there is a beautiful sunset. There are nice places to go by bike to exploring the town. It's not a place to socialize but rather to enjoy your own company, and that exactly what I was looking for. They were also quite flexible with schedules. The only truly negative point is that Wi-Fi does not work where we stayed.

Thank you Catharina, we very much enjoyed your company.
The new mesh router network arrived today and so there will be no problems for your next visit.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone looking to slow down and have time to enjoy a locals only experience in the area. They did a great job at giving you jobs to match what you want to do and your skill set. The family home is disconnected from where the Worldpackers stay so there is plenty of privacy. The WiFi never worked when I was there but when that is fixed all around this is a great break from the hustle of most trips.

Quiet and peaceful is what better describes the place. I was on my own doing all of my duties and that gave the chance to do it rapidly to go enjoying a little more of Aix and Cote D'azur. There's everything you need at home and if something is missing they provide it inmediately. It is a very comfortable place where you can relax when work is done. There's lakes and river close by to enjoy even more. You are provided with bikes so you can go easily to town to get your stuff same as to go to the lakes.
