I had a blast during my stay, Simonetta and Gary were very welcoming and happy to have us! The work we did made a difference and was appreciated. Having a car during our stay made a huge difference to explore on off days. The property was beautiful, lots of great sunrises and sunsets here too 😁

My fiancé & I had a wonderful time at Simonetta & Gary's! I loved learning about the chickens, how the property has grown, and their life. We helped with building what will soon be a place for volunteers to stay and it was great to see our progress. During our 2 weeks we used our car to explore on off days, enjoyed sunsets, and lived a slow life on the property as many things are 30+ minutes away. It was a great way to unwind. Simonetta was a wonderful cook and Gary often accompanied her dishes with dessert 😁 thanks for a lovely stay, we hope to meet again!

Different tasks to do: feeding the chickens, gardening, tidying, cleaning, painting, etc. Besides the chickens, there are a small of flock of sheep , 2 lovely and playful dogs: Bell and Luigi and 2 fluffy cats ❤️

Fue nuestra primer experiencia en Worldpackers, y no pudo haber sido mejor :) Simonetta y Gary son excelentes anfitriones, muy amables, nos sentimos muy bien recibidos, y muy cómodos con el alojamiento recibido. Las tareas a desempeñar fueron muy variadas, como toda granja siempre hay tareas a realizar, en nuestro caso nos tocaron todas al aire libre porque el clima ayudó, y tuvimos mucha autonomía para realizarlas. Súper agradecidos por la experiencia.

Gery and Simonetta were nice people to meet and work with them they don't let you down and they don't pressure you about it I love the where they are I loved feeding the chickens because they loved me they come running to me and after I feed them they start to sing for me. I ate a lots of eggs yummy the food was good and it's better to have a car because it's too far from town . Thank you for having me over for 2 weeks and best wishes to you both.
