Jakob was a great guest. Easy going, hard working, communicative, and interested in meeting new people and discovering new cultures (we are from many different cultures in the Abbey!). He also has a witty sense of humour, which was fun! We highly recommend him.

I had two wonderful weeks at the Abbey. The days are scheduled, so you are not in doubt when and where to work. Its very easy to tap i to their daily rhythm. The tasks was very different and interesting. From cutting grass, helping put up tents, working in the apple orchard, helping with the cheese making, and lots more.

I was lucky to have my 10 days of summer vacation at the farm. And it was just a perfect place to do.
The place has so much history, and you feel you are a part of it. I enjoyed feeding the animals in the morning, painting, weeding the potato field and other tasks both inside and outside. Easy and fair tasks and hours to work. A refrigerator full… read more

I was happy that Lillian wanted my help, even it only was for about 10 days. The work was easy enough and sometimes hot. But that was to expect when it's south Europe:) most days the work is the morning and in the afternoon. But Lillian is very flexible about the off hours and off days, so I could plan trips to bordighera and also trip to nice.… read more

Jakob was an excellent guest. He enjoyed keeping busy, and was very reliable. He is easy going, communicates his needs well, and worked great alongside another guest helper. We enjoyed his dry sense of humor. Most importantly, he treated our animals with respect. Even Frida! Thanks, Jakob!
