1 month stay: Place: calm, picturesque. Hills, the river is near, fresh air, no neighbors; cows and lovely dogs. Good if you want to reconnect with yourself. As it's eco-farm - located far away from city. But each week Patrick took me there to go shopping, eat out. Patrick took me to his friends, to the local market, to bars; offered me drinks; we went on a walk by foot to the mountains. - cons: misunderstanding and conflicts. Patrick is rude sometimes, frustrated easily, straight-forward. Blames you and defends himself, even if no need. The house has rules. But it`s nice experience

Anastasia helped me a lot during her stay and I even extended it, yes it's true there are rules, it's normal when you live close to nature you try to waste as little as possible, as is written in the summer there is more electricity than in the winter because the days are longer and so too there are rules for the heat in the house which is designed to be heated as much as possible by the sun in winter and so the best thing is to air it in the morning so that during the day the house can regain heat, also there are plants to purify, I write this so that the next are already warned and there will be no need to repeat this. ..

I stayed with Patrick for 4 weeks. During that time I learned a lot about animals, food, nature and other things. It was a great experience to live without modern commodities and have mostly everything self sustained. If you want to get away and get close to nature and to see how it is to live off the land I would highly recommend. Patrick is also very friendly and knows a lot about everything and is very interesting. Overall it was a really good experience

Stay in the farm with Patrick was one off the best experiences in my life, he is so nice, artistic, smart and talented person. He was like a sensei of all kind off stuff, he teach me a lot of stuff about cows, gardening and farms. I really feel glad to meet him and spend good time with he. Also they cows are super cute Panthera, Maya, stelutza and aprila. If you want that the cows loves you remember they names!! I recomend Patrick like a friend and like a good mentor. Thank you for all Patrick Ps. Don't forget my name 😅

Give this place a go! I stayed for about 10 days with Patrick and really enjoyed my time. The work is fair and rewarding, and there is always good food to eat. What I will say to future travellers is to stick it out: I didn't know what to think of the place on the first day, but I came to love it and could have stayed for a lot longer. If you are someone who is ready to approach it with a good attitude, then this place is amazing!! Patrick also took me into two different cities and showed me all around the area which was great!!

Patrick is a really nice person with a lot of stories to tell. The place is surrounded with beautiful nature, and spending time taking care of the animals was awesome. You need to be aware that this kind of experience is not for everyone, since you'll be living without modern amenities, but it's an adventure and you will learn a lot of stuff.
