Being with Max on his huge farm was a very joyful and enlightening experience. We had a lot of fun talking, cooking, baking and drinking. He is a very open person who shared everything with us, be it the interesting stories about the house or everything else on the farm.
Our day was very self-organized as we had a bigger project during our time:… read more

Max, all the people around, and the old farmhouse are wonderful. We were mainly busy on construction tasks in the house (taking off an old, big door, and, hopefully, putting a new one in place), which was both challenging and fun. We were very flexible with the work and the working hours. The evenings were spent with Max and the many friends of… read more

"Mensch lern tanzen sonst erkennen dich die Engel nicht" and dancing is what we did. I came as a workawayer and left as a friend. Allthough working really hard while transforming an old barn into a gallery room we had a blast of a time together and I learned a lot. Beimg both painters we shared a lot and didn't run out of topics of conversation. I… read more

Giuseppe is a great help. If he knows what to do you can leave him with the challenge and can be sure that it will be done in the most possible good outcome... It was a pleasure, thank you a lot.

This was my twenty fifth experience with workaway, and Max still made it easy for me. Tanja, Emily, Jamie and little Lily (or was it Lilith, I wondered but never asked...) did not make it any harder, it felt like a new old temporary home.
The farmhouse is beautiful.
The food is great, especially if you like meat.
The work depends on the needs… read more

Left by Workawayer (Herta) for host

This was my first experience with workaway. Host Max made it easy for me, to get to know this new way of travel and work. Max really is an artist. He rebuilt the farm with a lot of fantasy and love. I could work very independently and got all help I need. And almost every day we spent the evening together – dinner cooked by Max.
Because Max… read more

Herta war fast einen Monat hier. Sie ist ein Sonnenschein, humorvoll und doch Zielstrebig. Wir haben das ganze Haus geputzt, es war eher eine Renovierung. Herta hat auch das Gästehaus eingerichtet, organisiert und gemütlich gemacht. Ich traue ihr zu ein ganzes Feriendorf zu organisieren. Dankeschön.
