We stayed at David’s house in Denia for 1 month. The house is owned by David although he doesn’t live on site. Two very friendly Colombian families live in the house with their children.

The working hours for the week are 8am - 1pm, Monday - Saturday. With one day off on Sunday.

While we were there the work itself was hard, but we did hear from… read more

This was my first WorkAway experience! I spent two weeks helping in Villa Purim in September. David is very friendly and warm, and when he is around is great to talk with. If you’re lucky you might get to eat at David’s sushi restaurant in town! The workers, Miguel and Jon live in the house with their families. They are from Colombia so you will… read more

Hospitality, friendliness and positive energy in the house made our first workaway experience unforgettable. We spent almost 4 amazing weeks with amazing people in amazing place. Our working hours were from 8:00-13:00, then we always helped to prepare table for the lunch (that we had all together and then washed dishes). Our working tasks were… read more

This was our first Workaway, and it was an amazing experience. David is a great host. He does not live on site, but often pops by for a chat and to see how everyone is doing. Living on site are three full-time staff, who are three of the nicest blokes we’ve ever met. They made us feel so at home, and like we were part of the family. The work was… read more

It was a wonderful experience! Not for the work or the accommodation but for the people that I met. Miguel, William and Felipe made me feel like a part of their family (they are the fixed workers that live in the house). David is a very friendly and energic person, always with a project in mind and a lot of things to do. They help me with… read more

We stayed in this house for 2 months with our young children and although there were many highs and some lows, overall it was a good experience. It will, in time, be an amazing house and is an incredible project to have worked on but the house itself has been derelict for much time and the living conditions reflect this. The beach is only a 5… read more minute walk away, there are beautiful mountains close by and Denia, the nearby town, is really lovely with an old town and sea front promenade.
David does not live at the house (which was a surprise to us) but visited regularly, always checking that we were OK and supplying us with a good supply of ingredients, and was especially kind to us at Christmas. He visited a few weekends during our stay and cooked a huge traditional paella for us all and he was also very helpful in letting us stay on longer when our next host cancelled at the last minute. The work was varied and interesting - everything from clearing the overgrown garden, digging trenches, building and plastering, creating a chicken house, wood store and small pond, demolishing walls, clearing junk and rubble, moving building materials and restoring old furniture.
Our first six weeks working with the team and other volunteers on the project was great - we got on really well with everyone and the positive dynamic in the house kept us happy. However, over the last few weeks of our stay two key members of the building team (who we had great relationships with) left and various changes in volunteers meant the feeling in the house became very negative. With no one really managing the situation it was hard to turn this around.
Throughout our stay, we found the living conditions in the house were below what we think should be offered and the bedrooms were run down and damp. The house is in a state of disrepair so is cold and draughty, and although heaters were provided in the rooms, the day to day level of comfort was low. This coupled with the amount of dust which is generated from living on a building site, at times, made for uncomfortable living conditions. Although this didn't bother us enough to complain, David has taken on board feedback from other volunteers and in the week after we left a lot of work was done on the bedrooms, so the standard of accommodation I am sure will improve.
Overall, we are positive people and take a great deal from this experience, both in resilience and being part of what is an ambitious and inspiring project. If you are very adaptable, relaxed, comfortable with a basic standard of living and want to be part of renovating a beautiful old house which in a few years will be quite spectacular, come to this place.
