A guest house é um lugar lindo que proporciona um contato mais profundo com as forças da natureza e contém Belíssimas cachoeiras em volta. Sandra e tiago são pessoas super do bem e foram ótimos anfitriões. Eu e minha companheira nos sentimos verdadeiramente em casa. Só tenho a agradecer pelo conforto e carinho. Gratidão! Assim que tivermos outra oportunidade com certeza voltaremos.

Foi muito especial estar na guest house! Sinto que fui para uma outra dimensão rs Me senti em casa naquela natureza abundante e com pessoas tão especiais! Incluindo a cachorra Nina e a gata Nuvem :) Foi uma experiência muito rica de troca com a Sandra e espero que venham outras! Recomendo demais esse voluntariado na guest house. Saí com um sorriso na alma! Só gratidão e amor!!

Minha primeira experiência foi incrível. A Sandra foi uma anfitriã cuidadosa e em todo o momento me senti acolhida. A estrutura é muito boa, quarto confortável e alimentação com alguns produtos orgânicos, o ambiente é agradável e aconchegante, a Nina (cachorra) e a Nuvem (gata) são bem tranquilas e carinhosas. Foi um momento para relaxar e me reconectar, o contato com a natureza é real e consegui conciliar com o trabalho. Sandra muito obrigada por tudo, foi um prazer viver esse momento.

Sandra é uma mulher incrível, reflorestou o sítio, tem sistema de aquecimento solar, horta, compostera, está realmente comprometida em criar um ambiente sustentável. A estrutura do local é ótima, cama confortavel, privacidade e chuveiro quentinho. As tarefas foram bem tranquilas e os horários respeitados. Inclusive Sandra me deu a liberdade de escolher meu horário. a guest house esta em um bairro rural lindo, cheio de cachoeiras e trilhas por perto. Ele esta um pouco afastado da cidade, por tanto recomendo para quem quer ir a ficar em contato com a natureza e relaxar por lá.
