Descripción
We are family of artists living in Monteverde, Costa Rica. We are a family of six persons- two grown children studying abroad and four persons living here. We are Tarcisio and Marianella with our two teenagers, Ipsilan and Gudari.
We work on our own property where we have built two houses, one of them is a guesthouse where we have a Bed & Breakfast. Our family home is next door.
As mentioned above we are artists and we do various types of art such as sculpture, painting, ceramics, fine jewelry and more. At this time our guesthouse is taking most of our time and we need help with projects related to its improvement and business mangement.
We are very friendly and sensitive to the needs our volunteers may have. We will try to assure that you have a positive experience and a wonderful time here.

Ayuda
We started this guesthouse just over a 5 years ago and though it is up and running, we still need help completing some interior and exterior finish work as well as gardening and improving the business operations.
We are hard-working and friendly people with open minds to new suggestions and creative ideas.
If you have interest in practicing your Spanish, living in a beautiful locale, interacting with guests from many nations, gardening and construction work, please contact us.
We are VERY interested in hosting volunteers with experience in solar and wind power installation and maintenance. Monteverde is a prime candidate for such alternative power.
If you are interested, please email us. If you are a good fit, we will set up a time to talk with you on Skye or Whatsapp.
Thanks!

Alojamiento
For each volunteer, we offer room and board in our family home. Our house is spacious and artistic. You will have your own room and access to one of the three bathrooms. There is hot water and wi-fi. Food is simple but delicious. We are located away from urban noise but close to modern facilities. There are good restaurants, a small grocery store, and an excellent coffee shop just five minutes walk from the house. The bigger town of Santa Elena is about a 20 minute walk. There are infrequent buses and taxis are easily available.

Monteverde is a natural paradise with many activities nearby.

They also work hard and you will need to have a strong work ethic if you want to volunteer here. I had a diversity of different tasks to do over my 4 weeks with them and sometimes it… read more

I enjoyed my stay enormously. Tarsicio and Marianella were very good to me. I sewed curtains early in the day and explored Monteverdi by mid afternoon. Great little town. Great exercise walking around. Tarsicio was a great tour guide. Highly recommended.

I stayed with Tarsicio and Marianela for three weeks from Nov - Dec 16. It was my first time volunteering with workaway and it was so much fun. I worked mainly in the hostel and helped with facelift activities (priming, filling holes, painting, etc). Moreover, I helped in the garden, a little with tourists, with a sculpture and everyday tasks like… read more

I volunteered here for 3 weeks in February 2015. Worked on the website, cooked, cleaned, and helped with gardening. What a wonderful experience with a kind family! This special time in Monteverde really shaped all my memories of Costa Rica. En ese tiempo, he aprendido mucho espanol con la ayuda de toda familia. Gracias por todo y hasta luego!

The Castillo family were the best hosts I've encountered in over two months of traveling. I stayed with them for two weeks working on remodeling their hotel, and eating all their delicious food. Good times. Muchas gracias Tarsicio, Marianela, y todo la familia y amigos! No puedo esperar por el día que puedo volver otra vez!
