My partner and I spent two weeks in March/April 2025 with Rachel and David. From the day we arrived, they welcomed us warmly and ensured throughout our stay that we had everything we could possibly need.
We stayed in a double bedroom with a private bathroom and had access to the kitchen at any time.
Since most of the work was independent, our

In just two weeks, we accomplished quite a lot on their stunning property. We installed a gutter on the shower hut, treated, cut, and built natural wood for a fence, removed an old wire fence, took out old tiles, and moved soil from a landslide to help insulate the shower hut.
We’re incredibly grateful for their trust, the great tips for our trip to Barcelona, the fun DJ evening, and all the new skills we gained. Rachel and David are an inspiring, caring, generous and passionate couple whose positive energy is truly contagious. We wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts.
For future Workawayers, having a car can be useful, but it’s not essential, as there are good connections from the nearby village to the closest town. From there, you can take a train or bus to places like Barcelona.
Thank you, Rachel and David, for an unforgettable stay!
P.S.: We miss the "stinky" dogs :P
Rachel and David own incredibly beautiful land filled with buzzing nature's life and are really great hosts themselves - from the moment we met them we felt welcomed into their life and to their land. They are super open-minded, flexible, hardworking, caring, accepting, generous and always show respect to everyone around them. We absolutely

While working on fun projects like putting together a bamboo roof from scratch, making a sawdust deposit, building walls in a bathroom unit, and clearing up forest paths/prepping forest wood among lots of other little projects, we learnt so so much during our time there. Construction work to wood work, to dog care, to creativity, to forest knowledge, and loots lots more! We left with so much knowledge:) Who knew we would learn how to lay bricks from 0!!?
We had a blast listening to their life stories ( they lived so many experiences!), and enjoyed sharing incredible food with lots of flavors (David is an amazing chef and Rachel also cooks and bakes really really well!) and had lots of laughter, deep conversations and music! They trusted us to take care of the house/land and of their cutest dogs Rafa and Giorgio for some days while they were away. We are forever grateful for the experience we lived there! Thank you lots, Rachel and David
These guys are amazing! Hardworking, conscientious and great people. Volodymir brings a load of experience with huge muscles and Olga is almost as strong! They are also great cooks and we enjoyed trying their food and sharing stories. We can highly recommend them and hope that they come back. Thank you both so much! We miss you!!
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the one-month stay with David and Rachel. From the moment we arrived, we felt their friendliness and hospitality. The living conditions and their attitude towards us made us feel at home. The house is perfectly located for those who appreciate peace and quiet.
The accommodations are pleasant and

The volunteer work mainly involved the reconstruction and renovation of houses and facilities on the property. We would like to emphasize once again that the hosts are amazing people—hospitable, kind, cheerful, caring, and at the same time respectful of personal space.
We sincerely recommend these hosts and can confidently say that we will miss this place, the wonderful people, and their two beautiful dogs, Giorgio and Rafa.
And one more thing: the host, David, is a professional chef, and we were lucky enough to try dishes from different cuisines around the world.
We are grateful for the hospitality and hope to return again!Feedback

Olivier was the best!! We can completely 100% recommend him, in fact you’d be lucky to have him stay. He’s got loads of skills and experience as he’s set up his own commune in France and did everything himself already so he’s very very handy and knowledgeable. He is extremely hardworking and diligent, works independently and with thought. On top
… read more of all of this he is a really nice guy, fun to hang out with and have chats. Can’t recommend him highly enough and he’s a welcome addition to any project. We hope that he comes back to see us again. Thanks for everything Olivier and hasta pronto tio!!!
Rachel & David, je ressens beaucoup de gratitude pour vous de m'avoir accueilli 1 mois et demi dans votre univers incroyable.

Je vous remercie de m'avoir fait sentir comme à la maison, d'avoir partagé tous ces moments de repas, de rires, de dégustations de vins et de fromages 🤩, de célébration par la musique et la danse. Et aussi c'était vraiment sympa de m'avoir offert un espace de repos ou j'ai pu faire des méditations et des grand feux de joie 🔥🔥🔥....
J'ai adoré embellir les zones, travailler la terre et faire des constructions avec le bois de la forêt et Renato le Shaman des forêts 🤟.
Un plaisir également d'avoir connu les gardiens du lieu, Rafa🐕 et Giorgio 🐶 qui apportent plein de vie
Je repars avec le cœur chaud

Rachel & David, I feel so grateful for you for welcoming me 1 month and a half in your incredible universe. Your place in the mountains and the forest is a treasure of beauty and serenity. This place is full of history and positive energies, which is why participating in the birth of your retreat project was an honor for me. I thank you for making me feel at home, for sharing all these moments of meals, laughter, wine and cheese tastings 🤩, celebration through music and dance. And also it was really nice to have offered me a resting space where I could do meditations and big bonfires 🔥🔥🔥....
I loved beautifying the areas, working the land and making constructions with the wood of the forest and Renato the Shaman of the forests 🤟.

I leave with a warm heart

Stephen and Diane stayed with us for three weeks and were brilliant.They instantly became part of the family, and truly went above and beyond helping out. They were both a joy to have around and are welcome back any time. You’d be very lucky to have them come stay with you. Highly recommend.
Thank you David and Rachel for having us at your wonderful place. We miss your beautiful trees, wheelbarrows full of sawdust , and mulchy machine already .

Vom Host für Workawayer (Andrea)
Andrea was an excellent guest and workawayer. He came with his cousin Mattia and they stayed for 2 weeks. In this time they removed some very difficult and tricky Mimosa plants that have overrun certain parts of our forest. They also did general help on our building, including painting and singlehandedly replacing all of the wooden base boards in

I had a really wonderful time living and working with David, Rachel and Rafa up the mountain at their beautiful, secluded property. I helped them build some decking for a bell tent and some compost bays out of pallets and it was pleasure from start to finish.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. David and Rachael were wonderful hosts. The accommodation was excellent. The meals provided were delicious.

I had such a great time at David and Rachel’s helping them with wood chipping and chainsawing and painting and tiling. It was nicely varied work for thier great retreat project.
