Pietro is the kind of person who really cares for others. He goes above and beyond to help volunteers feel safe and heard. He's communicative & straightforward. He'll teach you the about Italian culture. He opened his home to me & shared about his family. I was having a particularly sad day one day and he sat down and spoke with me in a reassuring way. His level of hospitality is something that will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you again for this opportunity. 🤲🏽 ❤️

Our experience was amazing! We met really friendly people and had a great time together. The work itself was also fun. It felt great working in the nature and the time flew by really quickly. So overall, it was an amazing experience that we can definitely recommend!

My time in Campofiorito was great! I learned a lot in my two weeks. You're working with others (around 10) so it's super nice having a group to work and eat meals with, but definitely something to take into account that you'll be living with 10 others. The work itself was very fair, we got a coffee break and a lunch break which split the work up nicely, and we never worked past 315/330. You also get the weekends to explore the area. Overall a great experience to learn more about the farm harvesting, meet people from all different places, and spend time in the Sicilian countryside.

Pietro is a great host who's deeply passionate about his the farm grove and shares his passion with you through his vast knowledge of the farm farming. You'll spend the days working with a team at the farm grove. If you enjoy being in nature and like hands-on, physically engaging work, you will appreciate this experience. I enjoyed the sense of community I found with my fellow volunteers through cooking amazing dishes together and respectful conversation. All together, if you're ready to put in the work and want to get an authentic and rewarding experience, I highly recommend Pietro's the farm grove!

My experience at the farm grove was amazing! The other volunteers made the experience so much fun. Everyone was super welcoming and helpful. We really became like family in just the short time I was there. I only got to work on the farm grove a couple of days due to weather, but the host, Pietro, was very adaptive and either found other tasks for us or let us have the day off. Working on the grove was great too. I personally enjoyed the manual labor, and we got lots of breaks. Pietro cares a lot about this project and it definitely shows.

Three unforgettable weeks harvesting olives in Sicily! 🌿 The work was real, but so was the fun — singing in the fields, cooking in teams, and sharing stories in 5+ languages. We were over 40 volunteers from all over the world, working hard by day and laughing hard by night. Pietro is such a friendly host that really knows how to give his helpers autonomy and flexibility. Plus, the locals were so friendly! They all made us feel truly welcome. If you're up for teamwork, culture, and a bit of the farm oil in your soul — don't think twice, i'm sure it'll be an unforgettable experience. Just go!

Pedro is a lovely host, there's a bit of a language barrier but that might me my Australian accent coming out a bit too much. If you're looking for a true Sicilian the farm picking experience, this might not be it for you. (Lots of Germans hahah) I loved my stay, I was welcomed by Pedro and the other volunteers but also the town. The work is repetitive- and long/ hot days and rainy days All up very good experience.

I had a great time during my two weeks at Pietro's house! We were a group of ca. 12 people harvesting together and had a lot of fun - at work and especially during our free time. We cooked alltogether and became really close. :) Go to Giordano's Bar when you're in town! In my opinion, there were often unclear instructions when working in the farm grove, which sometimes led to tension in the group. But personally, I felt comfortable. Anyway, if you're a good communicator, adaptable, and motivated to do physical work outdoors, I can recommend this project!
