Linda and Caleb, helped us in May in 2019 and then again in September and October. We had no hesitation in welcoming them back, when they asked if they could return. They are both excellent in everything they do. They were mostly cooking, shopping and also some maintenance around our place. They are highly motivated and work of their own… read more

We spent two weeks at Jon's place and loved it so much that we're going back for a month in September! We stayed in the B&B and prepared breakfast and dinner for the guests every day - there's a menu to follow but there is plenty of flexibility to make other dishes if you want, so long as they can cater for big groups! We had a great time… read more

We had the best experience here! Jon and everyone there were super nice and accommodating. We are on a 6 month trip to Europe, and we look back at our time volunteering here as one of the highlights of our trip. It's easy work in a gorgeous little town, with so many opportunities to hike and see some of the most beautiful places in the world that… read more

Jon was the best host! He was very helpful in the kitchen and easy going. We never saw him without a smile on his face! We were lucky enough to get shuttled a few days with the guests to spend some time on the mountain bikes. We really felt at home and the town of Luce is absolutely stunning. I would recommend this work away for anyone that likes… read more

Jon and Kaya helped us out for just under three weeks. It was nothing but a pleasure to host them in all that time. They both got stuck in where needed and nothing was too much trouble. They worked of initiative and were popular among our guests with their easy going friendly nature. They prepared delicious meals in our kitchen and Kaya made some… read more

We volunteered at Jon’s place for about 3 weeks and had THE BEST experience in the quaintest little village in Slovenia. He cares so much about both his guests and workawayers. He puts a lot of work and energy into making sure everyone is well taken care of and having a great time. We made breakfast in the mornings for the group and then had the… read more

We had a wonderful experience in beautiful Luce. Firstly the setting is incredible, surrounded by mountains, clear rivers and lush green landscape. It is really incredible to be in the midst of such natural beauty. We had the chance to go on hikes and cycle for hours, discovering the unspoilt countryside. John, Nash and Helene were so kind to take… read more

Val and Sal stayed with us for two weeks in August. In that time they cooked lovely meals for our guests and did some housekeeping also. They were both wonderful help and did an outstanding job, taking real pride in the food they served. We can not recommend them enough, both very professional in their attitude, work and also nice company to be… read more

As my first workaway experience, this place exceeded any and all expectations! The work was consistent (breakfast and dinner with a bit of housekeeping here and there) and it allowed for a lot of exploring. There is so much to see around Luce- beautiful trails and lovely people! If you are a mountain lover you should not pass up this offer!… read more

Franny stayed with us for a few weeks helping out in our kitchen or to be more accurate running it. She was always polite and courteous, a real joy to have around. Her unbridled enthusiasm is infectious! She was popular with all of our guests and did a great job cooking for large groups. She also did some child minding for some of the guests… read more

This was my first workaway experience and I was a little unsure of what to expect, but once I met the friendly and welcoming Jon, Helene & Nash I knew all would be okay. The atmosphere was relaxed and felt like a home away from home! I still miss the great company, picturesque Luce & surrounds, the musical kitchen, hearty meals and desserts, the… read more

Lisa was a great Workaway to have around. She ended up driving some of our vehicles and was always professional and dependable. She helped more than we expected and was a pleasure to have around. All our guests were thankful for her help as well. Unfortunately 5 stars is the maximum rating as she deserved more.

Tom stayed with us a for a month in May and being our first Workaway we were a little apprehensive. But that soon disappeared after being around Tom for not very long. His professional attitude and politeness impressed us very much. After the first day he cooked like a pro, a real talent in the kitchen! Also he turned our small vegetable patch… read more

Pauline was our first Workaway and we were blown away by all the help she provided. She is always professional and courteous. A great listener who you can leave to whatever job she is doing and know she will do it to her full capability. Her cooking and baking were relished by our guests. We cannot recommend Pauline enough and we are very grateful… read more

Ohhh where to start describing how awesome this place is... This is the best place ever, and Jon by far one of the best hosts you can wish for! Work is fun, serving breakfast in the morning and then cooking following a recipe in the evening, for appreciating hungry guests. In the time in between you have all freedom to explore the amazing area;… read more
