This was the worst experience that me and my partner have ever had. The attitude of the workers and the “owner” towards us was shameful. They are rude and disrespectful, made us feel unwelcome. They won't give you a full basket every day. If you don't ask for food they won't give you any, when you ask for food, they look at you bad and laugh. They won't cook for you on your days off. The kitchen was dirty, without a proper basic cookware. There is only a small sink and camping gas. We spent our own money on groceries every day. We wouldn't recommend this place. We'll not return in the future.

Volunteering at the farm was an experience that I'll never forget. The place, the hosts, the activities, the area... everything was worth it. ✨ Just to note, keep in mind that this place is surrounded by nature and vegan food diet, for me it was new but I adapted easily. Hosts were patient, flexible, and they spoke Spanish (which was helpful to understand the tasks). 100% recommend to be a volunteer here!

I loved my stay! Emine, Thomas and Pierre were very welcoming and generous hosts and lovely to talk to (and made great food). Most days involved gardening (weeding, planting, watering) and another task like shelling nuts or painting. We had 2 days off a week and there were great places to explore nearby. The local town was closer than we expected, a 15 minute walk, with a great boulangerie. Also, there was a very cute and cuddly cat named Seed! We learnt about permaculture and farm maintenance/design but not a lot about local culture as it's quite isolated. Would recommend!!

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our time at Casa, we got really involved in all the tasks and enjoyed all of the facilities at the property. I specifically enjoyed the maintenance and building tasks we were given, contributing to the growth of the eco farm. The hours were really flexible and the meals were delicious and healthy. The hosts were a joy to be around, I really recommend this opportunity to other travellers Big thanks to Thom, Emine and Pierre for making our stay so enjoyable.

My boyfriend and I spent just under 3 weeks at Casa for our first Worldpackers experience and loved it! We mainly helped with repairs, which was really rewarding. The property is beautiful, surrounded by nature and animals, and close to Saint Jeannet, a supermarket, hikes, and waterfalls. Public transport to nearby towns is easy too. The home-cooked lunches were always delicious and healthy, as well as the ingredient baskets with fresh veggies for breakfast and dinner. The hosts Emine, Thom, and Pierre were wonderful and always made sure we were happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!
