Harvesting lavender and playing music in the Tuscan countryside

I had a great time at Alberto's. The property is located in a beautiful place, but it is isolated, which is nice if you're looking for a reaaaally quiet spot. We had delicious meals, nice hikes, some short trips and boardgame nights. The activities depend of the weather and the season, but for sure you must like animals, gardening, cooking and you have to be willing to get your shoes and hands dirty. The only problem was about Alberto's attitude, which wasn't always the nicest, but we all have our good and bad days, I guess. Anyway, I loved the experience, I had the chance to learn a lot :)

Alberto was a wonderful and welcoming host! He would help through every step of what is expected of you and go above and beyond to bring you a local and unique experience. He is understanding when things don't go as planned, and is always willing to help with whatever you might need.

It was a great experience generally speaking, i felt disconnected of the constant rush of the city. This place was surrounded by hills and tiny villages, we went to some and played music with local people which was such an amazing experience for me.The daily routine at the farm wasn't too heavy most of the time, you can learn a lot and also rest and enjoy the place as well.In the other hand, We had some communication's differences with Alberto that we carry throughout our stay there but at the end, it couldn't affect the positive vibes of this volunteering. Thanks Alberto for all you did.

Thank you Georgina, I only have good memories about the time we spent together. The pizza night, a lot of music, and your very active attitude around the house. I apriciated it. Very special time. :)

Initially I enjoyed this experience but we had a disagreement towards the end and the host asked me and the other volunteer to leave early. I did not expect to be asked to clean a different property to the one we were staying in. I did enjoy the farm work, planting and weeding the vegetable garden. I did every job I was asked to do including cleaning a pool. The location is beautiful. The room I slept in had no door and was dirty when I arrived. The host made some comments that made me uncomfortable. The location is very remote. I would not recommend women to apply here.

Read my profile for more details. Joanne is a bad person with many problems. Hope she will find a good therapist that will help her. I could not. After spending a lot of time talking to her I could only ask her to leave. Very bad experience.

Alberto's house is surrounded by the dreamlike landscape of Tuscany. 🌻 Working hours were respected and the work was varied. I enjoyed the manual work very much. Work in the garden is sometimes hard, but always rewarding. Alberto is a very good cook, he offered us many regional and seasonal dishes. Unfortunately, we had a few disagreements during my time there and I didn't always feel valued. I would have liked to have been treated more openly and respectfully. Nevertheless, I was able to make great new experiences and he planned many extraordinary activities for which I am very grateful. 🦋

Julia is a very nice and hard working person. We had a good time and made good memories despite the fact that we weren't always animated by the same rhythm. A few unconvinients and missunderstanding I feel like apologising about. I am happy about this experiece with her above all and I would defeninely feel like recommend her for a future host. Thank you Julia :)
