Help
In 2014 I started renovating an house with a 100m2 garden in the very near centre of Avignon (500 m from the middle age walls). Most of the hardest building work has been done with professionals and the help of volunteers.
Nowadays I do not have many things to do but an help with the garden, some painting and general tidying up of the house is welcome.
I host for short periods, from 3 days up to 2 weeks.
p.s. I also have 5 bikes that always need some fixing ;)

Fynn and I spend a nice time at this host. The Hoster wasn't home often and we can organise or day by ourselves. Avingon is a pretty city and we meet chilled people there. The host was good organised. You will enjoy your time there:)

Luzy and Finn were great guests. They spent one week at mine. I was at home only a couple of days but the could work in autonomy. Luzy made some cleaning and Finn he could repair and fix everything!!! I hope they also could enjoy the garden and the nice Mediterranean weather. Good luck to both of you

I was not really at home. I left Sean a number of things to do and let him free to do what he could. Well, he worked very generously and fixed a number of things. I'd greatly recommend this guy. Good luck Sean

I stayed with Daniele for 5 days, he was only there for the first two. He left me some tasks to do in the garden while he was gone, it kept raining all day for the last days I was in avignon so it was pretty hard to work outdoors. Anyways, he was always really nice to me and so where his neighbors downstairs. I truly recommend him as a host and a… read more

We hosted Ana for 5 days. She is a nice person in the sense that she is social and pleasant but I honestly expected morel from her. I was at home only at evening during the first two days and for her last three days I was not at home. I provided her a list of things. I do not like to force working times and i prefer to give possible tasks and… read more

Coralie & Amandine helped us in cleaning up all the house. They worked with enthusiasm and no interruption ( I guess ;)....i was not there to check ) for one entire day and did an excellent work. I suggest anybody to trust these two Belgian friends!

Daniele was a great host! He is very easygoing and the conversations with him were fun and interesting. He had us clean out a flat and once that was done, we were free to go wherever we wanted and do whatever we wanted. He showed us the city around, helped us find information about the Festival and trusted us with the keys of the house so we could… read more

Daniele hosted me in 2015 and trusted me as a non workaway to stay. He was so kind as a host and treated me very well and with such respect. The house is lovely and I enjoyed the small amount I could contribute, varnishing decking and screwing stairs. His flat mates were also very helpful and lent me a bike and gave tips for visiting Avignon.… read more

Stay with Daniele in Avignon was my first work away experience and i absolutely loved it! Daniele is an easygoing and fun person, loves history, so very helpful with the information about Avignon and the area. During the mornings I was sawing pillow cases (and I love doing it!) and keeping the house clean, later on I was exploring Avignon, and in… read more

Daniele and his roommates are awesome people! I offered to volunteer for a few days, but their house had many guests for the Theatre Festival so they could not have me more than one day. Daniele was so cool to invite me to come down to visit anyway to explore the city and experience the Theatre Festival. He is a great host and took me around the… read more

we could not have Tanzania for a long time. She squatted our sofa for only 1 night as a couch-surfer rather than a worker yet still she helped us in setting up the house the day after and the night spent with her around Avignon was great. Good luck from Guia, Roberta & Daniele

Daniele was a great host; I imagine it would be somewhat difficult not to get along with him. It being my first workaway experience, I was slightly apprehensive, but within the first few minutes of meeting him, my uncertainties disappeared. He's very welcoming, and I really enjoyed conversing with him. I helped with a variety of tasks, including… read more

Louise wan an excellent volunteer. She have been here for less than a week and she helped with insulation of the roof, cleaning and painting. She was up to do whatever was needed and se fited very well in the house. It was a pleaser to share meals and have conversation with her.
good luck and welcome to come back whenever you want.… read more

We don't have much experience with work away. But for us it was the perfect host :) we worked in a calm way (he arranged music for us) and we cooked together in the evening. At Saint Patrics he went out with us in the evening and showed us where we had to go and when we wanted to explore the city he arranged bikes for us. But the most important… read more

Lucas & Oli are perfect guests .
Very very very well educated and good workers. They have been at my place only 2 days and they painted a very big room, they cleaned up everything and even cooked spaghetti for an italian eheheh.
I really appreciate their company. It's very easy to hang out with them. Good luck, wherever you are travelling!

I hosted Damiano for 8 days and they really passed quickly. Even if he was not expert in renovation (and me neither ;))....we spent some times hard working, planting trees, destroying old buildings and setting wall paper. He is also very indepedent and enjoyed his time visiting around alone. I absoloutly recommend him as a great guest!
