The Experience

As the spring knocks on our doors, a lot of construction and preparation for season prevents us work on our yards and small gardens. We would love it if we would get a person that comes and helps us with it. No matter the level of language skills, just a friendly person that is willing to assist us make our yards look better and alive in the summer. Also we do some renovations on our properties and preparing them for the summer.

I had the best time volunteering with this team! The people were nice and welcoming, the accommodations were good, the work was fairly easy, and by far one of the prettiest places I've visited. Side note, this is not a criticism and I was made aware of this before. I went in April which is before the tourist season so there's not a lot of activities to do. Again I don't say that as a criticism because I loved the chill and relaxed atmosphere and again I was told this before going.

I had a wonderful time in Pakostane! Everyone was very welcoming from the beginning and made you feel like home. The work was pretty easy (I went on off-season) and there was always time for fun. In the afternoon there was time to be on yourself, go to the beach, the lake, spend time with the other volunteers, or go eat something by the beach. I really recommend this place for anyone! :)

This experience was absolutely wonderful! I really liked the village, the sea, the cats and especially the people. I stayed in a very nice room. The tasks were manageable and I had a lot of fun while working and beyond. Especially lunch preparation and eating with everyone was entertaining. I would love to come back and can definitely recommend this host! Thank you for the stay! :)

Truly an exceptional experience. I visited during the off-season, so daily tasks mainly included preparing rooms, general cleanup, painting and the like. Working hours are extremely reasonable, and I cannot speak more highly about the team here. Milka, Daniel and family were such gracious, generous hosts. Javier was a particularly fun and motivating soul. If you're looking for a place with some incredible people in a quaint town on a gorgeous coast, look no further.
