Simply said : Mercè and Elies have been both fantastic. It was our first experience with Workaway, friends had recommended this organisation to us and we were excited to experience it firsthand.

We worked in the garden weeding, pruning, clearing dry stone benches and passing the brush cutter.
We had a very cozy space to ourselves consisting of a bedroom, a bathroom and a huge living room with a pool table.

Magda and Jules are wonderful hosts, they looked after us and made us feel at home at all times. Magda is a great cook and although they don't eat meat, we didn't miss the meat because everything was delicious. We always had lunch and dinner with them, which we really like because it's the best time to meet the hosts and have a real cultural… read more

This was our very first experience of Workaway and we don’t mind admitting we were just a little nervous. It became very clear however, very quickly, that any apprehension we may have had was completely unwarranted. We are now worried however that in terms of expectations for Workawayers, we may already have peaked! What a surprising delight it… read more

Merce and Elies are delightful guests. They worked extremely hard in the garden making an amazing difference in the short time they were with us. They are also interesting, fun to be with, respectful and generous. We can’t recommend them highly enough, and hope they will come back again…soon!

Carolyn and Peter have been wonderful hosts.

Elies and Mercé are just fantastic. They are an adorable couple and perfect Workawayers. We had lots of laughs – they have a wonderful sense of humour – and lots of very interesting conversations round the dinner table.

I don't know what happened I left feedback a few weeks ago but for some reason it didn't show! Mercè & Elies worked very hard and made our garden look beautiful. They know a great deal about gardening and we were grateful for their help and advice. They are friendly and easy going and we would recommend them to any potential host.
