The Experience

We would love for you to join us on this adventure. We are currently building the new kitchen, and working on expanding the gardens. We require our volunteers to work 4 hours a day from 10am-2pm. We live on a farm in between Girona and the coast. There are the beautiful beaches of the Costa Brava, the cities of Girona and Barcelona, forests and mountains close by. We provide 1 meal a day, 5 days a week and a private room for you to sleep in.

At first, I thought I'd go there for a couple of weeks to see how things are, but in the end, I found myself leaving after 80 days! And that wouldn't be possible if Suki and Steve were not such lovely and warm people. When I was leaving, it felt like I was saying goodbye to my close friends. Especially their lovely kid, Rocco, who'd give a lot of energy to the whole house!

The place is a big masía, and there's always something to do. For me, the work was quite physical, but I kinda liked it, and at the end of the day, it felt rewarding.
All in all, I strongly recommend this place!

I had a wonderful experience volunteering here. Suki and Steve are incredible hosts. Super kind, organized, and they make you feel welcome from the very first day. The tasks are fair, the environment is peaceful, and the place is perfect if you want to connect with nature and slow down a bit. I met great people and learned new things. I truly recommend this stay, an amazing experience! Suki and Steve, thank you. I'm really glad I got to be a small part of what you're building, and can't wait to see all the amazing things you do!

They are a wonderful family! I felt very comfortable, valued, respected, and all other positive adjectives. Steve and Suki are two good people, and that alone makes all the difference. I spent a month and a half with them, and the tasks were very varied, from weeding, working in the garden, watering, painting, sanding, pruning, to looking after Rocco, their two-year-old baby.
And everything was done with very good energy on both sides.


Thank you so much for all the good vibes! Rocco, you're a sweetheart!

Unfortunartely I was sick over Christmas and unable to write a review for Victoria in the time period provided so I am writing it here:

Victoria volunteered with us for a month and a half and was a real pleasure to host. She was reliable, helpful and always completed the tasks assigned to her. She was especially wonderful with our son Rocco and we always felt confident and comfortable leaving him in her care. We would happily recommend Victoria to other hosts.

Suki and Steve, along with their son Roco, are such a kind and thoughtful family :) Always respectful and considerate, never imposing, and always checking if things are okay rather than assuming. They’re open-minded and happy to share their culture !

When it comes to work, Steve gives you autonomy and really values people who are serious and committed. Staying with them and with the other volunteers was a real pleasure.

I truly enjoyed our conversations and the time we spent together 😇

Suki and Steve were amazing. Whenever I asked them for advice on public transport or the best places to visit, they always tried their best to help. I really appreciated how much they would go out of their way to make sure that I am many other volunteers felt comfortable. I think that they are creating a beautiful community of volunteers. I truly wish them the best with their project. I can't wait to see how everything turns out. Also, they have the cutest toddler xx
