What an experience!
As everyone writes about Ivette and Marvin's place, it's a nature heaven with such a lovely welcoming feeling, not to mention getting to know these two incredible persons.
We stayed for about a month at Marvin and Ivette's home, it was our first workaway and they made us feel comfortable right away. The place is lovely, among… read more

Christine and Stefan, what a team, always on time, always cheerful, problem solvers, quick learners. After a month we are normally ready to see our work-awayers leave, not so with them, they stayed for two months and we were so sad when they had to leave. They were persistent, methodical, thorough and completed all their tasks before moving on the… read more

Dear Ivette and Marvin

Camille and Clement were just wonderful. They spent a month with us at our place in Pomaire.
Among the things they did was a wonderful work refurbishing old pieces of furniture. They also made the best crepes and french dessert I ever had.
We truly enjoyed sharing wonderful meals with them.
Good luck to both of you and thank you for all your… read more

How can we live without Darius' Eggs Benedict paired with avocado for breakfast? or the Fish baked with a walnut crust? and Eve's apple crumble with English cream?
You guys are amazing!! You make a wonderful couple and we definitely enjoyed having you.
I hope you have a wonderful time in Peru,
Safe travels,
Ivette and Marvin

We had an amazing workaway experience with Ivette and Marvin. one that we will never forget! From the moment we arrived we felt apart of their home and family. Ivette has such a infectious laugh, and is amazing in the kitchen. Marvin is a master craftsman and taught us a lot about wood work - and of course the garden. Parsella armonia is a little… read more

Jaime and Suzan were wonderful during their stay with us. Hardworking, responsible, honest, inventive but also fun-loving and humorous. They placed bird netting over our vineyard, oiled the wood on our porch, fixed the curtain rods in the house, harvested golden berries and cooked and cleaned in our house and always smiling. What a pleasant… read more

I think it should go withpout saying that when somebody expects you to do manual labor, they should provide protective gear like ear muffs etc without balking. I regrettfully had to leave before the time I had initially indicated and this was not to my hosts liking I believe. This is my first year as a workawayer and I am learning that every… read more

What else can we say but WOW! This experience for us was homely, engaging, classy and fun! We spent 3 weeks here in Chile with our wonderful hosts Marvin and Ivette. From the very first night we felt like part of the family. They were so accommodating, helpful and knowledgable! Marvin taught us the ins and outs of gardening, planting and… read more
