I had a really lovely stay and felt very much at home right from the start. The place is quiet and surrounded by nature, which made it easy for me to relax and enjoy my time there.

The tasks were very varied, so no two days were the same, which I really liked. That made the time interesting and provided a nice change of pace throughout my stay.

I was there for two weeks and felt truly welcome and part of the community. It’s an experience I’ll remember for a long time and I’m very grateful for it. I’d definitely recommend it! 🌿

A beautiful place to unwind, reconnect with nature, yourself, and enjoy lovely walks through the surrounding the community. The working hours are as described and pleasantly varied. The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

I stayed for two weeks with Niccola and Roger and I'm sure this is an Experience I will carry in my heart forever. They're both incredibly welcoming and made me feel cared for at their place. The work was nice and I got to learn a lot about gardening and the plants Niccola grows in her garden. I also learned a lot about meditation which was really inspiring. I'm very grateful for this opportunity!

I had an amazing time here. I recommend it to anyone who has a genuine interest in meditation and is willing to talk about the community topics. Food, accommodation and the family atmosphere were lovely. The work was fun and I learned a lot both from Nicola and Roger. Super grateful for this heartwarming experience.
