Residenza del Maestro

I live in a natural building (the one in the picture) in an old stone village at the border between Tuscany and the region of Rome. This natural region of Italy, Maremma, is best known for its beautiful landscapes and the natural hot springs around with free access.
I always hosted people from all over the world at my rental property in Southern Italy 'Residenza del Maestro' and this time I would happy to host people interested to spiritual and philosophical research. Especially meditation lovers and deep travellers who love creating arts and music. Lots of the spaces around are ideal spots for concentration and relaxing as terraces, woods and caves in the nature.

Activities for volunteers are about gardening, music and art-wood with the possibility to learn the secrets of Italian cooking and the traditional oriental art of xilography. Digital nomads and smart workers are welcome even for longer stays in comfortable private rooms when available.

In my case I was in a place far from everything, where you can only move around by car. There are no shops or anything nearby. I was alone without other volunteers, only with the host. The idea of the experience was to go record content of nearby towns for his boat business, but there was no boat
I had a friend who lived close by, so I asked if I could go spend an afternoon with her. He told me I couldn’t do that unless he was part of the outing (coming w us). He asked me if it wasn’t disrespectful that he hosted me at his house and I went out with someone else without him. Felt not safe

Unpleased experience for me too. Never able to show her skills in video editing and web contents, never collaborative for everyday life in the house. I never prevented her different plan to join her friend but I think it was not normal asking to do it just after 2 days of no activity, no cooperation in running home tasks and me as personal driver not even invited to the meeting. I found it deeply disrespectful.

La experiencia no es en Matera, es en Sava. La casa está muy alejada: no puedes moverte sin auto. Solicité si podía llevarme a la estación a 1ra hora de mi último día y me dijo q no porque era muy temprano. No tenía en claro cuál era su idea de negocio y eso me hacía sentir confundida: íbamos a sitios que no pertenecían a los itinerarios q él ofrecería. Un día sufrió un disgusto lo cuál tensó el ambiente y me solicitó si podía irme antes porque daba de baja el proyecto. Destaco que fue siempre respetuoso y que un día me acompañó al hospital, tolerando 3 horas de espera, lo cual valoré mucho.

Unfortunately I was expecting a different attitude by Guadalupe. Before than an exchange of professional skills Worldpackers is an occasion for cultural exchanges and a possibility to do new experiences out of our comfort zone. Unfortunately I felt she was never into this mood even if she tried to offer her basic skills in video editing and content creation. Creativity needs positivity and good attitude to life for working out. So unpleased by this misunderstanding.

Ischia di Castro is a small quiet village on the Italian countryside. Very friendly locals and greeting people Ciao goes a long way. Gigi's home is such a tranquil place. I love cooking in the kitchen and having meals outside, it was summer and overlooking lush of greens where the sound of the birds echoes and a distant sound of the river below. Gigi is a poetic man and a realist. A musician and an artist — he's curious and loves learning cultures from people. I learned a lot from him (like how little garlic Italians use in food 😆 ) It's honestly just beyond words to describe everything ✨️

Staying at Luigi’s house was an incredible experience! I could practice a lot in Italian, as well as contribute to his studies in Portuguese. He took me to some places nearby and we had wonderful moments of conversation, sharing about our cultures and experiences. The tasks were very easy and simple. Thank you, Luigi, for having me and offering a unique week!

It was a beautiful experience, he is verry friendly and open. You get the rest you need and he lives in a small village with a breathtaking view. He showed me some amazing spots like a hot spring, a waterfall, and beautiful towns. All of them more known to the locals than to tourist wich made it even better. The work hours where verry little and not hard at all. Mostly you prepare dishes from your home country so he can travel a little in his home 😊. You don’t have to be great just try your best. I really recomend this! Thank you Gigi for everything 😊
