Although I had a lovely time in Italy and Filippo is a kind and genuine soul, the experience was different from what I had expected. As Filippo does not live in Sicily himself the farm had not been taken care of in the last 8 months. Few plants were alive (no water) and the farm was full of weeds. In the end, there wasn't much to do for me there so I ended up staying at an appartement a few villages away and helped Filippo with some cleaning tasks in the appartement complex. I didn't mind the work but I had come to Italy to learn more about plants and nature. Still had a great time, though :)

True Sicilian life. We were collecting olives on beautiful farm. Enviroment was perfect, food simple and tasty. Exactly what we needed. There will be always lot of work to do and I hope, always a lot of awesome people to help with it. Thank for great time.

Filippo and Karin are wonderful to be around. For someone that isn't used to farm work I would probably not recommend doing olive picking. I did not like it at first but then at the end and and after it was done I started to miss it alot. Understandably so for me, who doesn't do much of a work outside, I became to like it and my body finally got what it wanted (physical activity and waking up in the actual morning) so I even started to feel more healthy. Can't wait to see you guys again!

Thank you for this great experience :) it was very nice to stay at the farm which is very minimalistic and cosy, perfect to get in touch with nature. Make sure to take the shortcuts when going to Alì Terme and try hitchhiking! You can charge your devices at Todaro (best gelato place you'll find). The beach is very nice and not touristy at all, very calm. Going to towns nearby by train is very easy and reliable. The work was good, it always depends on the season what your tasks will be. Thank you Filippo! Laeticia&Steven

Muy buen lugar!!! único! Se come bien y las peronas vecinas son muy amables y solidarias. Hay que ir dispuesto a acampar y no tener muchas comodidades, pero e trata un poco de eso, de un proyecto en desarrollo. Gracias!

Super lovely setting in the hills of Sicily, about an hours walk from the beach town where you can charge phones and buy food and swim obviously. This town is super local and there aren't many tourists so you get a feel for the traditional way of living. The work was good and you don't have long hours, only thing was the heat (obviously, it'll be hot in Sicily in August) while camping. Other than that it was a super fun way to meet new people and immerse yourself in nature and the hosts are accommodating.

I had an amazing time there, and Filipo is a great person. He gave me options of work, and let me choose what I rather do, he would work with me, or came often to check if everything was fine. Work can be hard, but he is a flexible person, and the hours are respected. The view from the farm is amazing, even more beautiful than the pictures. I highly recommend the experience. The structure needs some improvement though, so if you're a person who likes to be really confortable that might not be the best place for you.

Mila what to say, she was great in every projects she did.
It was great to have her at the camp and organize the cleaning of some nice spot to give life to some tree. She was fighting with all the bad grass to win the space :).
She is very responsible and enterprising organizing her task very good to have some fun at the same time.
We started the projects that Mila suggested about the shelter, now we are waitng for her to finallize the project :)
Hope you are doing good in your travelling.
Always you will be welcome at the farm.
