Sophie and Pedro were incredibly kind hosts and we shared so many interesting conversations since they, like me, are very passionate about ecology. They were so accommodating, welcoming me into their home, helping me to practice Spanish and showing me the best scenery in the area. They were very respectful of the agreed working hours and the jobs… read more

Mark just left our house after a month with us. We already miss him. If you are lucky enough to get a message from Mark for a workaway at your place, don't hesitate and answer yes. Although we would prefer you answer no so that he has to come back here! Mark has all the qualities. Every task you ask him will be done and far better than what you… read more

Fay was an absolutely amazing host! She's such a warm person who made me feel so comfortable in her home straightaway and we had a great time chatting about everything! I ate so much great food at Fay's, especially the cheesecake and peanut butter cookies! We went for loads of walks in the woods and meadows around her home, which has stunning… read more

Mark is an honest person, enthusiastic, cheerful and positive. Italian speaks perfectly.
He is very respectful of people, animals and things, working methodically and with passion. He learned in only two lessons how to prune plants and cropped so ordered the hibiscus plants. Put in order a part of the garden, uprooted weeds and planted new plants… read more

Cecilia, Mario, Alessandro and Giovanni were wonderful hosts for the three weeks that I spent with them. They were incredibly kind, hospitable and respectful and I felt very comfortable in their home straightaway. The bedroom was large and had a beautiful view over the town towards the sea. The work was very fair, mainly consisting of cleaning or… read more

Mark was my first volunteer and it was a great experience. Mark is a lovely person, full of good energy and he've helped me a lot in the country house. He is a great worker and it was also a real pleasure to listen to his recommandations in painting and decorations. He has a open, friendly mind and I've enjoyed our conversations. I would be happy… read more

I stayed with Sabine for two and a half weeks and was very well looked after. The accommodation was a really comfortable room less than a minute's walk from the leaning tower and she always made sure that there was plenty to eat. The work mainly consisted of painting the stable block at the country house and I was so happy to be part of Sabine's… read more

Unfortunately, having to leave, I could host Mark for one week only. I thank him because in such a short time managed to make herself useful, by reactivating the old abandoned orchard, and helping in the cleaning of the house, with great care and patience. As Mark remained in the area, in Florence, I hope to see him again soon and wish him a… read more

Carlo was an incredibly welcoming and hospitable host. The work was light and carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere. I helped with preparing the vegetable patch for the spring, tidying the shed and cleaning the house. Carlo also took me on a few drives to see the beautiful scenery around his home, which I really appreciate. The atmosphere is… read more
