Joneen is a person who is young at heart, autonomous, open and determined. She was always ready to help and have new experiences like applying plaster on a wall. I am still amazed at his ability to accomplish the very diverse work that we have entrusted to her. Her cat is very discreet and has managed to tame our dog, which is a feat. She loves to… read more

This was an especially enjoyable Workaway. Stan and his family made me feel welcome, plus got to practice my French and culinary skills. Stan made use of my artistic talent, experimenting with special plaster. It was a real challenge, Stan's faith in my ability made all the difference. This is an assignment I would gladly return to.

Stan is a great host! He and his sister Marie-Elize welcomed us really well. Unfortunately, Marie-Elize went back to Paris next day. When we arrived our car was a bit broken and Stan was super helpful with it. He didn't give us any real task until he found how to fix the car. Since we don't speak French, it would be incredibly hard for us to… read more

Our stay at La Romarine was quite short yet so eventful! We've learned so much from Stan and enjoyed ourselves as much as we could.

Stanislas and Anne are the perfect hosts! We felt like we found a new home and didn't want to leave after our 2 weeks. The work was well organized and differed a lot between working in the garden, with the animals (chicken and goats), and general mantainance (electricity and floor renovation). We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We knew before… read more

Stan and his wife were a pleasure to stay with and get to know. I fed the chickens and became friends with their two goats and dog. I also helped with their olive harvest. The work was not demanding.

We absolutely loved our stay at La Romarine. Stan and his family are so kind and accepting, as well as funny and so pleasant to spend time with.

It was very hot in August so we really appreciated taking siestas in the mid afternoon heat, and having a pool to swim in. The food was outstanding and we couldn’t stop eating!!
