Francisco (‘Fran’) stayed with us for a good month during this spring. It was a real pleasure having you Fran. You’re a very respectful, well educated and easygoing young man. You were always curious and interested in our ways and the differences in culture and habits.
It was interesting hearing your point of view and your good sense of humour

And thanks for showing us the proper way of using Maté and the tasting of Fernet!
I spent one month with Larissa, Arjen, and Annemare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they made me feel at home with their kindness and generosity. They were always friendly and supportive, not only during the work but also when we went on outings to explore different places together.
Their home is

I highly recommend them as hosts. They are genuinely lovely people who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Thank you so much for everything!

Colette planned to stay with us for 1 month but eventually stayed 2 months and those 2 months were a real pleasure. We’ve come to know Colette as an easy going and curious woman who is always enthusiastic and ready to work and give it all. We appreciated that she really took her time to get to know our horses and their environment.
You’re always

As my first Workaway address, this was a truly wonderful experience to kick it off with.
Arjen and Larissa and their daughters (of whom I had the pleasure to meet two of the three) are very warm, open, generous, hospitable and hardworking people. I really enjoyed spending time with them doing different jobs, the trail rides and the dinners we

The description on their profile is very accurate in my opinion, I have experienced it as they describe it. The three horses are all beautiful sensitive souls and all different which makes it fun to work with each one of them. They are easy to ride.
The surroundings are really beautiful for trail rides, hikes, bike rides and to explore different villages in the area.
All this - and more, resulted in me staying 2 months instead of the initially planned 1 month.
I would definitely recommend this lovely place and will surely visit them again as soon as I am near.
Thank you again Arjen & Larissa.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Levi stayed with us for 2 weeks. Although our (calm and friendly) horses were not so much the challenge for him we did some great other work together. We finished the ceiling of the barn and we made a good start with the wooden fencing. You're a keen learner Levi and it was nice to hear your points of view and insights about different cultures and

Fantastic experience and a great time in this wonderful landscape of France.
5-star premium accommodation and hospitality.
Two weeks of holiday for me with this beautiful welcoming family.
I hope I helped enough at the ranch during my stay.
Thank you Larissa and Arjen !...you are my friends in France now :-)

I really enjoyed my stay with Larissa & Arjen!
Their place and the surroundings are beautiful and peaceful.
The three horses are really nice and each one has a different character. Since I didn't really come in touch with Western Riding before I learned a lot about it and totally fell in love with it here! Going on different trails and discovering

I stayed nearly 2 weeks at this wonderful place - wayy to short....
The family welcomed me warmly and I got to stay with another workawayer in a nice apartement with a private room.
Our task was to take care of the 3 horses (all of them extremely kind and easy to ride, although I had to get the hang of the western style at first haha...). And

The family is very easy going, open and really want the best for their workawayers! I also was really interested in how they managed to renovate the farm and the autonomic approach to live.
I would recommend other workawayers to stay 3 to 4 weeks or even longer, because then you can get used to the routine of everything and to the animals of course.
Thank you, especially Larissa and Arjen, for this wonderful time and for the trust you gave me with the horses! I would love to come back at some point....!:)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Josi stayed with us for a short 2 weeks last October. Since we were pretty occupied with visiting family in the first week it was almost too short to really get to know each other but we really enjoyed having Josi around. She is respectful, openminded and asked us many times if she could be of any further help in anything we did. Josi, you can

What a wonderful place to work and stay! We loved our time in the Baronnies Natural Park. This family is very welcoming and friendly.

Sophie and Cole, it was a real pleasure having you guys for 2 weeks at our place. You are a very easy going couple, tidy and respectful to your host's environment. On top of that you work very efficient and autonomous. Thanks for the good company and the work you've done and it would be a pleasure having you guys back one day!

We visited Arjen, Larissa and Annick for the first time in the winter of 2020/2021.
Originally we planned to stay only one month, but since we felt so comfortable, we stayed almost 4 months with the Dutch family. There were two other workawayers there during our stay, who felt the same.
We shared our appartement with the other workawayers, did
… read more our own groceries and cooked most of the time for ourselves. Sometimes we all ate together in the house of the Hosts.
All members of the family are very good cooks. So get ready for diverse, fun evening conversations and delicious food!
Their beautiful property is located in the middle of the mountains and even has a stream running through it and some steep rocks. When you look out the window in the morning, fog often moves through the valley.
There's a huge variety of work to be done, so everybody finds a job that fits him. We have made trips with the dogs, cut new paths through the forest, cut down trees, demolished old structures and built new ones.
Everybody here respects your privacy. You can choose to take a day for yourself withouth offending the others.
Generally there is a productive and cheerful atmosphere while working and living together.
We highly recommend this workaway!
This was our second visit and we'll come back for sure!
Thank you for the great time,

Your company in and around our house was always appreciated, no exception. Also our youngest daughter really enjoyed the evening diners and card games with you guys.
We hope you guys come back some time!
I would like to thank all the family for the great time passed in the Finca. The house is located in a peaceful place with nature all around. The accommodations are new with all the comforts of a modern house. If you are lucky Arjen will prepare beautiful meals that have influences from all over the world.

Ricardo stayed with us for a couple of months during this winter (2020/2021) and it was a pleasure having him with us.
