My time at the eco village was a deeply memorable and mixed experience. Filled with growth and connection, but also marked by serious leadership and organizational challenges. The location is genuinely magical. I met some incredible volunteers, and many of the most enriching parts of my stay came from our daily collaborations. Unfortunately, the experience was hampered by a noticeable lack of structure, leadership, and communication from the host. I hope my feedback can assist in improving the functionality of the community. I believe the success of such projects can provide legitimate alternatives.

The best accommodation structure I've experienced in a volunteer - cozy and comfortable.The project is an amazing idea but still need organization, Val, one of the coordinators, was always kind and caring with us.However, the atmosphere with the host was very problematic: he frequently complained about volunteers to other volunteers, which created tension and discomfort. I had subscribed for gardening/kitchen tasks, but was asked to do marketing instead. When I explained I didn't feel comfortable with that and preferred to stick to what I signed up for, the host stopped communicating with me.

My time in the eco village was cozy, beautiful and inspiring in many ways. I got to meet so Many interesting people from all around and developed such rich connections. I learned a lot about myself and what I aspire to be one day. The people that you come across in the eco village are pure gold ♥️

At the eco village I met the most wonderful people from around the world and of all age ranges. I'm so grateful for this experience, the structure of the place is incredible and in the middle of beautiful nature. The dedication of each person into this project is inspiring and grows more everyday. I do believe that the eco village could really benefit on investing more on the real life day-to-day communication and organization, specially in the kitchen. I'm very grateful for the experience and hope I can come back again soon!

The eco village is a magical place that quickly felt like home. Nestled in the peaceful Apennines, it offers cozy rooms, delicious food, and unforgettable people — open, kind, and inspiring. The main downside was the lack of organization; with around 40 volunteers, stronger and more consistent leadership is needed. Still, the experience was deeply refreshing and gave me a true taste of Italy. Despite minor flaws, it's a solid 10/10 for me.

The eco village is amazing! I had a life changing experience there. I would recommend it to any traveler. The people are incredible, the environment is beautiful, and the vision for the project is wonderful. I had so much fun working with people from all over the world. We worked hard but had plenty of time to relax. There is a beautiful pool and lovely hikes all around the property. The community at the eco village is close knit and the connections are strong. I will not soon forget it. I will admit that it is still a young project and could improve in organization and structure but those will come.

Beautiful nature and meaningful connections with other volunteers really made the experience worthwhile. However, the project doesn't reflect what's advertised: there's no active syntropic agriculture or forest school, and tasks are very disorganized. High turnover and the host's approach create more of a hostel or summer camp vibe than a true community. There's a lack of structure, basic safety (not even essential gear like gloves for construction), and a clear vision for those seeking a solid, purpose-driven project. Two weeks felt like the right amount of time for me.

Minha estadia na ecovila foi maravilhosa. O lugar é lindo, a estrutura é ótima mas o melhor de tudo foi ter me conectado com pessoas incríveis. Conheci pessoas de quase 20 paises em duas semanas, tive conversas profundas, criei conexões verdadeiras, me diverti muito! A estrutura de espaço (um antigo hotel) e a alimentação foi muito acima do que eu esperava, comi comidas deliciosas todos os dias! *Como eu trabalho 8h no brasil, conciliar foi um pouco desafiador na primeira semana mas na segunda me virei super bem. Deixo essa dica pra quem for e tiver trabalhando remotamente e quiser ir

At the eco village, I had the time and freedom to socialise with a beautiful group of people, enjoy nature, develop skills, and work on personal projects. The location and property awed me, and the meals were fresh and wonderful every day. the eco village is in its infancy and there is so much that still needs to be done - this is a good place for you if you are interested in helping this project grow. Unfortunately, I couldn't align myself morally with the project, especially after discussing the origins and influences from which it was founded.

Our experience was mixed (3.5/5).Arrival was unorganized and not welcoming as aspected. Some rooms were moldy and smelled bad, while others were decent, seemingly reserved for long-term volunteers. We raised our concerns with Benjamin, but he didn't take the feedback well and barely spoke to us afterward.This left us feeling a bit disrespected.All the volunteers and staff were kind, the food (mostly vegan/vegetarian) was really great, and the work was fair and well-organized. The area is beautiful but remote, with little to do besides hiking. Overall, the people and nature made it worthwhile.

Felix & Theresa were offered the best room in the house for the first week of their stay. This suite (double balcony, private kitchenette, ensuite bathroom) was temporarily free and we gifted it to them, on the condition they move to standard accommodation a week later. Their behaviour was then undignified: they said that these rooms (popular with volunteers) were 'for Brazilians, but we Swiss are used to different standards'. This summarised their attitude: entitled, arrogant, and mean-spirited
