Elena is such a wonderful person! Always in a good mood, always willing to help and such an amazing chef. She helped us with the renovation of our house, looked after the chickens and hosted a "Spanish night" with the most delicious ensaladilla and other great Spanish food. We loved having her around and we really hope she'll come back soon!

Our visit with Max and Rike (October 2021) was our first experience with Workaway and we are very excited.
We felt very comfortable on the estate and had a lot of fun at work. We assisted on the construction site, preserved fruit, and helped with the move. We find the project so exciting that we will try to visit again.
Max and Rike are great! … read more
