Fomos bem recebidos, no começo tivemos um pouco de dificuldade com o idioma, mas com os dias fomos melhorando a comunicação, raymond é excelente anfitrião, não deixa faltar nada para os voluntários, ficamos em um quarto grande privativo com banheiro privativo, realmente com muito conforto, podemos escolher os horário de trabalho desde que seja feita as 30 horas semanais, então não tem aquela obrigação de acordar cedo. Simplesmente estou feliz por ter escolhido aqui para ser meu primeiro voluntariado, se os próximos forem 50% do que foi esse, estarei muito satisfeito. Só tenho a agradecer 😄

A casa é um lugar muito agradável e bem grande, mas algumas áreas estão a algum tempo sem manutenção, resultando que tem muito trabalho para ser feito. Tivemos a oportunidade de trabalhar em diversos projetos, e teriam muitos outros se tivéssemos mais tempo. Nosso quarto era grande, e mesmo que não estivesse super limpo quando chegamos, tivemos liberdade para deixá-lo como gostaríamos. A comida da Ilaria é realmente fantástica e abundante! Conhecemos pessoas incríveis e a toscana tem cidades muito interessantes, recomendo está experiência para se desconectar e descansar a mente.

I had a pleasent time at Podere Sasso. The working hours were treated with respect, the food and accomodation were great, and both Ilaria and Raymond were friendly, as well as the others. The villa is amazing, plenty of places to explore, some of the best view I've ever seen. If you enjoy chilling and reading, this is definetly the place for you. However, this was my first WP experience, and there were times when I was a little confused and felt like I needed better explanation on how things work around there. Work was also pretty tiring for me. Bring a book if you come alone! Cheers!

Overall, my husband & I enjoyed our time with Raymond/Ilaria. I think it's important to state that the work is demanding & requires heavy lifting or some "dirty work", come prepared. It took a few days to get comfortable in the place, but once I was doing something I knew I could do, I felt better about the experience. To note - the closest cafe is a 20 min walk through the wooded trail (beautiful walk). The closest grocery is 40 mins. We didn't have a car and relied on Raymond to go to town for us to join him (only happened a few times). I recommend a car. The other workers were great too.

The beautiful Podere Sasso was built in 1354 with several iterations of restoration and/or updating over many years. With that, it was a great place to learn or improve multiple skill sets as there is always work to be done. My wife and I really enjoyed the experience, but unfortunately did not get to see many projects completed in the end. Focusing on long-term care projects to benefit the future of the property would have been so rewarding.

I recommend the place for couples or broke, as a single traveler I fell isolated and alone, the hosts leave the house for days, no others volunteers, many days alone, far from city. Also be sure to have internet on your phone (buggy internet at house) and you must know how to cook. I felt disapointted because the owner only check for results of my job, no clear instructions, he said that I must look for youtube videos, but the only way to learn stuff is doing, not watching youtube videos. Problably I had bad luck in the period I were there. Room is good, Ilaria is an amazing cooker, Ray is fun

We had a great time at Podere Sasso. Ilaria's cooking was absolutely amazing and we had so many fun experiences. The pizza party in their pizza oven with professional pizza chefs was definitely a highlight and an amazing cultural experience. We also loved meeting all the other volunteers. Raymond is a relaxed and fun host and is respectful of your hours. We had a great time making videos for him.

I had a good time working here! The host family is very nice. The cooking was great and it was a nice way to meet other travelers. This was a good first Worldpackers experience for me overall.
