The house is beautifully located on a hill surrounded by nature, the food was delicious and fresh, the animals adorable, and the people very kind. The work was varied and enjoyable, especially cooking with fresh products. However, clearer communication would have helped—for example, explaining the weekly schedule, showing the common spaces, and clarifying work and rest times. Sometimes I felt I had to guess things on my own. I also believe speaking some Italian is important, as not everyone speaks English and it makes it easier to connect with people. Thank you all for this experience!

Had a great time in the eco village. Serena and the folks were very friendly and welcoming, the food was great and delicious. Only point of criticism was that communication with non-Italian speakers needs to be improved since some tasks can be accidentally done wrong if not explained correctly. Thankfully the hosts are aware of this and are working to improve it. Otherwise the experience was very delightful, highly recommended to volunteers who want to experience life on the land and indulge in the local italian culture.

My experience was OK, I honestly wouldn't recommend it if you don't speak italian as you won't be able to communicate with most of the people living there. Also there wasn't much organization at all and the tasks were all over the placeas well as the times. I have to say that the place is really pretty and great for connecting with nature. Also even though I didn't get to know a lot about them the people there were really nice and welcoming.

other people who didn't speak Italian have been here but we have established a great relationship with each one.
I would recommend you to at least try to talk to someone in the future. We have very precise weekly work tables, but we don't like need to ask for help, usually the help is offered to us.
when you were assigned an afternoon task, we had to wake u up at 6:30 pm.. it is really unpleasant for us. But you are young and nice, we are sure that with experience u will do better! Good luck!

La experiencia fue muy satisfactoria, una lástima que yo me tuve que ir antes de tiempo porque me hubiera gustado quedarme toda la estadía, pero lo que estuve me hicieron sentir como en casa, todos muy amables, amigables y buenas personas. Si buscas un real contacto con la naturaleza y generar conciencia ambiental es muy recomendable. En algún momento volveré 😁

This was my first Worldpackers's experience and it couldn't have been better! Serena and her big family at the Ecovillage treated me as a part of the family since day one, always making me feel at home and teaching me new things. I learned so much about nature, animals, living a sustainable life and it really opened my eyes on the value human connection has over so many unnecessary things society has convinced us make our lives better. At the “the eco village” they live freely, they share everything, community is the hub of their lives, and I'm so grateful I got a chance to be a part of it :)

Staying at the eco village was a wonderful experience. being in contact with nature all day makes you feel at peace with the universe. Serena and her large family are committed daily to a project for environmental sustainability and complete self-production, a beautiful and courageous mission nowadays. it was nice to be with them, I learned a lot and they made me feel at home. go and enjoy nature, the animals, the vegetable garden, and above all their tuesdays!
