The best, it doesn't get better than this. The place, everything about it, the genius family: Monty, Anna, Jono, Mariam.... (in whichever order one chooses). Can't beat it! Long live YOU!! 💗

Richard works enthusiastically and thoroughly. He gets a job done properly. I had issues with his getting to us at the time he said but as long as you have his phone number, its all good. Clean and respectable too.

Cedric and Sylvie are kind and excellent hosts, their house is beautiful and their two edible forests are paradise on earth. Delicious healthy food. Plus Sylvie introduced me to Syntropic Gardening: a form of gardening that harmonises you with the plants and earth, instead of that old resentful attack on it. Highly recommended experience, cultured … read more

Veronique is a famous artist, so expect surprises. A life-changing experience, and everything is beautiful at her place. Amazing fruit breakfasts, and No. 1 chef, every meal is better than the one before. Never a dull moment. Plus, if one is interested in art, here is an extensive library. The area, Montreuil, is peaceful and quiet. What an honour … read more

Richard gives lots of ideas for doing odd jobs around the house. He does what he says at his own pace. He’s great company – funny, smart and full of stories to tell, poetry, movies and life! He was my 1st Workaway and I got the best. You’ll enjoy ! Rare and very interesting Dude.

Liz has a most beautiful place with plenty to do there. She is one of the best cooks one could possibly meet. Three interesting cats, and the most beautiful roosters and hens. Large property. She's great!

Richard stayed with us for about three weeks. In that time he did some excellent painting (gloss painting doors) and, with a trimmer, cleared the banks of the horse fields which were very overgrown; then he grouted the stone floor I had laid. Sadly he moved on before we could complete painting the rooms. He is generally polite and keeps to house … read more

Richard stayed with us for 3.5 months from June to September this summer. Richard had become kind of like part of the family. We experienced him as a very clean and organized person. The room, the kitchen and outside area was always kept very clean. Richard was always ready to help and generally was doing more than was asked of him. We appreciated … read more
