The visit of Sophia and Timon was very pleasant. They are easygoing people. Their way to Work is very precise, careful, responsable and indepent.
I enjoyed a lot Sharing my time with them. They are good vegan cooks and make great cakes.
I appreciated a lot their Big love for animals.
I can highly recommend them!!
We stayed with Florian for nearly four weeks and had a lovely time.
Florian is a kind, sweet person and he feels like the warm-hearted grandpa living next door.
The whole property is very big and stunning! You have mountains wherever you look and a stream running through the property with some very clean and delicious drinking water!
It's very

We had our own room in the communal house with a kitchen, bathroom and a terrace. Florian's house is a 20 minute walk away up the hill (it's a huge, extremely beautiful house that he built out of a ruin!! it looks very impressive).
we started working around 8.30am (in the beginning at 9.30 but it got super hot in the afternoon, so we started earlier).
Most of the time we were working up the hill at the stable, collecting tons of horse poop, stones and sand in order to renew the rooftop of the stable. In between we did some smaller jobs like sanding and oiling the floor of the yurt, painting some window frames and taking care of some veggie and fruit gardens.
The work was quite physical but Florian was also open to adapt the work tasks to our energy / strength levels (we never got used to walking up the hill, even though we did at least once a day).
We mostly prepared our own food but sometimes shared meals with Florian either at our sleeping place or at his home. In the afternoon/evenings, we sometimes played some games or had some talks. One time we visited Orgíva, it's a very cool town!!
it's a cool project where you can learn a lot about life in general!:)
thank you, Florian for all the shared knowledge and talks and meals!
I had a wonderful week filled with good chats, stunning walks and wholseome food. The mountain environment is so peaceful and made working an enjoyable experience.

My experience working with Emma was short, only one week, but very pleasant. Her work was excellent, always ready to help, even out of her workingtime.
We had a good time playing games and I enjoyed very much listening to her violin.
She is very communicative and openminded. I can recommend Emma very much!

I stayed with Florian, Sabrina, and Robert for two weeks and really enjoyed my time. The environment is very peaceful and healing, and I had lots of great conversations with Florian. The work was varied and I was able to learn a bit about taking care of fruit trees, permaculture, beekeeping, and construction. There are also lots of great hikes in

I was very surprised by Mir. In spite of her young age she is a very mature, responsible and sensitive person.

Her work was excellent and we enjoyed her presence very much. It was a gift to receive her!

I stayed at this place for almost 4 weeks and had a fantastic time. In the beginning I had to get used to working and living at 1600 meters altitude. That got better later on. The nature is beautiful and the volunteer stay is very pleasant. Florian, Sabrina and Robert are very nice and inspiring people who are creating a ambitious retreat project.

We had a ver y good experience with Martje. She IS a very easygoing, openminded person. Responsable and precise with her work.
Martje is an excellent worker aslong the mountain is not too steep.

It was a great time at Florian's place. I loved the people, the work, and the view. It is so nice to work outside with great company on a yurt. Every day I learned more about the woodwork.

WE enjoyed a lot sharing 1 month working, talking and playing games with Sophia .
She is a very reliable person, learning fast, curious and with a good hand for Woodwork. Even doing hard physical work she would stay until the end with a good mood.
I can recommend her as a worker and as a very nice person.

It was a gift to receive Dora for one month! She is a very humble, mature and sensitive person.

Not easy to find the words to explain how wonderful was my one month stay at the hosts, Florian and Elena.
The tranquility, the silence, being in the mountains and the pure nature, surronded by nice company was a memorable stop on my journey and in my life. I had the chance to spend a lot of time with myself in the nature which is

Mostly I worked on the stabil wood yurt where rituals and ceremonies will be held. I really appreciate that I was trusted to be able to work with different machines which I have never used before. I was always shown how to use them then I could organise my work. With no carpentry experience I felt like being a useful member of the small team.
Also I renovated some doors which work I liked and some days I straightened up a path, and helped with fruit conservation. I also had the kind task of cooking for our little team using eco, local (from the land as well), seasonal ingredients.
Life is amazing there, on the huge land, just like in Órgiva and Alpujarra. I desire to go back and I wish Florian, Elena, Sabrina, Robert, Claus and everybody else who I met all the bests with all my heart.
Vom Workawayer (Anastasiya) für Host
Florian and Helena are very beautiful, kind and helpful people. It am grateful to have an opportunity to stay on their wonderful land and helping them with daily tasks. I got a lot of inspiration and some new skills.

I was here for about a month: Florian, Elena, Sabrina and Robert were very nice and kind to me.
For me, the place was one of the most beautiful I have seen on my entire trip. The view, the silence, the peace, a different rhythm... where life is in harmony with nature.
My work help was concentrated mainly in the morning until lunch and I had

In my free time, I read, studied, took beautiful walks and chatted or sometimes shared dinner with the very nice Elena.
I also met some locals and they were really nice too! I particularly recommend the wonderful walk to Capileira, a beautiful village on the other side of the valley.
I recommend this experience to everyone...enjoy the area, the greenery, the blue sky, the stars and everything that these wonderful people have to tell you.
Thank you so much for this adventure everyone. I really hope to return one day!

I stayed here for about 3 weeks and had an amazing time. Florian has the most beautiful property, and volunteers stay in a small house and I had my own room and privacy. The land is very rural and peaceful with incredible views of Mulhacen and nearby towns. There was a nice and predictable schedule, and then I had lots of free time to read and

Our experience with Johanna was excellent. In spite of her young age she was working good, responsible and precise. Personally I enjoyed her company and the great cakes she made For our small Community. She is very openminded, polifacetic and overall very lovely.

I stayed the whole February on Florians place and it was a great time!!
You are in the middle of nature surrounded by mountains and silence..
I slept in a comfortable little house with my own room and a community kitchen with a fireplace, what was really nice, because the nights in february are quite cold, the place is on 1600m. Once we even had

The Land is very big with a lot of trees and five sweet horses, who live there as well..
But especially the time with the people who live there was so nice. Florian is a really cool person, openminded and relaxed and I really enjoyed the talks we had, especially at lunch..:) And also Sabrina, Robert and Elena, who also live there, are so lovely and sympathetic people and we met in my time there a few times in the evenings to play a game, drink some tea and eat some cake we made..this was so nice, thank you all again for the great time with you!!:)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I am very thankful that I found this magic place. In the mountains of the sierra nevada Florian and Elena are creating a little paradise, together with Sabrina and Robert who arrived one week before I came.
I really enjoyed the beautiful nature, this calm place. I enjoyed working by my own but I also worked often with Florian, which I really
… read more enjoyed because Florian is a very inspiring person and I am thankful I met him. I always felt very free, I enjoyed the work and I felt also that Florian trust me a lot, which gave me a very good feeling. It doesn't felt like I am a volunteer, it felt for me more that we are all together taking care of this magical place and I really felt like being a part of this lightful project.
In my for weeks there were also evenings we spent together or with other guests, playing games, creating new cards for the game dixit or watching a movie. I had also a lot of time for myself and many evenigs in front of the fire in our community livingroom/community kitchen.
I have the wish to keep conected with this
beautiful project and to keep in contact. It was a great experience!Vom Host für Workawayer (Lukas)
