Lucia and I had a truly unique stay with Ruth and Peter. It was our first experience as volunteers, and it exceeded our expectations beyond words. We stayed in the Luna tent, which was incredibly cozy. The work was varied and enjoyable, and working hours were respected. We were also constantly offered help in finding the best leisure activities. Horizon the lodge is a green oasis nestled in the nature of southern France; working and relaxing there is an experience like no other. Ruth and Peter's incredible hospitality made our volunteering experience very special. It's definitly worth visiting!

My time at Horizon Vert was truly the best I could have wished for . Ruth is one of the nicest most generous people you could hope to meet and made every accommodation to make sure we had a nice time . The work was straight forward and hands on and no good work went without praise . The property is lovely and everyone in the village is super friendly! Ruth and Peter made an effort to take us to local concerts and always made sure we were well fed . The hours were always fair and there was big effort on Ruth's end to take us to fun things in our free time . Thank you !

My time with Ruth and Peter was lovely! They are really kind, easy to get along with people, who make sure you feel comfortable and really care about making sure you enjoy yourself while you stay. The property is lovely and the work is straight forward but varied. Puivert always has something fun going on despite being small. Highly recommend and would go back any day 😁

I had an amazing time at Horizont Vert and couldn't have wished a better place to stay in France. Most of the work was outdoors, which I really enjoyed. Ruth always paid attention to the hours we worked everything was well organized. Ruth and Peter made me feel at home from the first day. We went to wonderful concerts and visited beautiful places, for which I really grateful. Although it is a small village, there is always something to do, and the surrounding nature is truly amazing. Thank you for everything, I will always look back on this experience with great memories.
