My two weeks with Jess and Nico were extremely enriching, calming and productive!! This is a great place for meaningful and topical discussion and work (timings for which were very considerate + attentive given the summer heat!) The tent was really comfy, and I loved having the hammocks in the forest to lie and read a book :) The location is an amazing way to discover non-touristy Corsica and its wild and isolated nature! I loved it ❤️

Nico and Jess were so friendly and welcoming, I was quite nervous at first as this was my first time using Worldpackers but they made me feel very at home. They are both very passionate people and were incredibly interesting to talk to, I learnt a lot during my stay about the environment and many different political topics. The scenery is just amazing, Nico and Jess were great for showing me around the area and ensuring I had time to really see the town which is beautiful. It was such a great experience and I still miss their adorable dogs!

Jess and Nico were the best. They were very welcoming, and adjusting to life in Corsica was easy. They are incredibly knowledgeable about so much, so never a dull conversation. They are very generous, flexible, and great listeners. Would highly recommend this experience if you are looking for rich conversation, outdoor work, and a natural setting. And, their dogs are the cutest :)

My time with Jess and Nico was fantastic. If you're looking for a beautiful place to settle into a rhythm, this is perfect. everyone is super flexible and the work isn't too hard; we usually worked from 9;30 or 10 to about one, made lunch, and either did a little bit of work in the evening or helped with dinner. if you wanna walk to the beach by yourself it's about an hour and very steep, but they were always super willing to drive us more than halfway at least. We had a lot of good conversations about basically every controversial issue, and also the food is really good. Great time in nature

I don't think a quick review could wholly capture the warmth and richness Nico and Jess so generously showed me, and I am so grateful to be just a small part in their exciting journey. I thoroughly enjoyed helping construct their garden, learning about sustainability, language, food and philosophy throughout the process, also having the chance to share meals and music with other locals. They left a great impact in the way that I now strive to interact with the world, and anyone would be lucky to share a conversation with them. I wish the best to them, their adorable pups, cat, and chickens!

Nico and Jess were the best hosts that one could ask for. They fed us SO well, showed us the surrounding area, introduced us to friends, gave us meaningful tasks but respected our chill time, and taught us so much about their beliefs and way of life. I'd highly recommend for anyone who seeks an off-grid learning experience completely immersed in beautiful nature and meaningful work that has a positive impact on the environment. Jess and Nico taught me so much about environmental awareness and sustainability, and it has really influenced my perspective on the world. I am very grateful :)

Jess and Nicolas were the most welcoming hosts! Within 2-3 days you’ll feel like part of a family with them. They were very informative on their knowledge of living a healthy and sustainable life. They will have many conversations and discussions about certain topics. they are genuinely curious about your take on life. The work was quite fun and Jess and Nicolas will do just as much if not more than you. It is more of a community, rather than a job. overall great experience and highly recommend.

Jess and Nico are amazing hosts, we couldn't have chosen a better place to do our volunteering. We loved being part of their project and helping them build their house and work on the land.

Nico, Jess and their 3 amazing dogs are super welcoming, caring and nice. Tho their place needs a lot of work still, is very welcoming and comfortable. Personally, this experience has helped me a lot to connect with nature and meet very diverse people and opinions. I would really recommend to go and cannot wait to see the progress in their life proyect! P.S: if you get car sick, take some pills though, it's a bit of a bumpy ride to get to the house.

Jess and Nicolas made me feel welcome from the very start. They're super nice and caring, we had fun but also a lot of meaningful conversations. They're really passionate about exchanging knowledge and they made me learn a lot, both in terms of skills and perspectives. I will be forever grateful for this experience even though it was so short, I met wonderful people during my stay and I had the chance to be immersed in one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. I hope I helped them enough building their dream, and I was very honoured to take part of this journey !
