Comfortable accommodation with private bathroom and everything you need.

Fernando spent two weeks with us and brought the spirit of South America, in the best sense of the word. He is optimistic, always ready for a joke, methodical in his work, has nice manners. He was happy to share his previous experiences, we exchanged stories about our jobs, friends, family, about everything that means everyday life.

Good place to stay near nature, peaceful, can walk to nearest beach.
Can enjoy the campfire, silent nights and appreciate the stars at night.

Fernando stayed for 3 weeks but we were really unlucky with the weather. There were far too many rainy days. On the days we worked, Fernando was helpful and thorough. Fernando is also a very orderly person who thinks about the environment and the surroundings. Hope to see you again Fernando... Thank you and good luck!

With nature all around, the forest is just behind the house, you can collect mushrooms and go for walks. Clear sky at night.
Beautiful landscape.
I definitely recommend the place.
It was my first Workaway in Poland and was better than expected.
Sara, thank you very much for the opportunity and for all help/care provided.

They live near the Alps and have a beautiful family.
Good house, good food, firebowl in the garden for cold nights.
I totally recommend the stay there.

Fernando is a nice clearminded person who stayed for some month at our house in Allgäu.
He shared family life with us and was a big helper with various projects indoor and outdoor like painting, wood constructions, housekeeping and many more. We can 120% recommend Fernando as a very nice company for any Workaway experiences.

The house and the green area are really beautiful and inspiring.
The swimming pool make it the perfect stay in the summer if you are looking for a quiet place, in contact with nature.
Everything was good and as expected.
This was my first Workaway experience and I am glad for the opportunity.
Thank you Maria.
