Glamping Acquaviva
You are not employed but volunteers, so no time table ! You will get up up in the morning and sending to us on WhatsApp “ready”.
Only 5 minutes by walking and you can get to one of the most clear sea water in Italy called Acquaviva ( means : spring water ).
I am Andre 30 years old Chef working in Dublin, years ago thanks by volunteers project I discovered this amazing place called Acquaviva Bay and now I am managing this Glamping project with a friend of mine Elliot. He probably will welcoming you or staying with us working as well because we are starting our project now but he is in charge for preparing documents, buying materials and stuff for building, me and probably my girlfriend in summer we are in charge of your managing and your well staying. At the moment it’s just an idea of permaculture place, tents, cob house, tree houses, yoga retreats in the meantime our project will be ready we will be happy to tell to you. At the moment is required someone able to do gardening with us, make some synergic vegetable garden to provide food for the community, tidy up space to understand the real space where located or build our future structure. I hope you would love to help us !

About the experience in: Province of Lecce, Italy
Slovakia
Staying with Elios was a nice experience overall. The tasks were simple and he was flexible with working hours. We appreciated the provided breakfast and dinner, and the beach was only 5 minutes away. The accommodation could use some upgrades, especially the bathroom with a tricky curtain. Communication and timing weren’t always ideal, and at times, it felt like he didn’t relate to all volunteers in the same way.

My time at Elio’s was good. The tasks were not super hard, although you most likely will work longer than expected, about 5-6 hours. The faster you complete all the tasks for the day, the faster you will be done. Elio’s provides breakfast foods such as oats, cereal, toast, coffee. He also cooks dinner and try’s to be accommodating. The volunteer house has quite a few of insects if doors left open/ not mopped. None of which are harmful(maybe scary looking.) right now there is no working washing machine. Elio was not very punctual and communication could have been better but overall I had fun.

I had a great time at elios farm! The location is amazing and the little house we had was great. The work was fun (gardening, construction, maintenance). a lot of the days we had to clean his own house which wasn’t in the description. Other than that elios is very understanding and I would come back again.

This was my first worldpackers experience and it was interesting for sure.
I learnt a lot about animals and building stuff up. The accomodation and the transport back and forth could be improved though. the host cared a lot about his property and animals. He cooks delicious meals. In the accomodation there was no hot water and you have to bring your own toilet paper which was very inconvenient. Hours were longer than agreed on. But the
location is 5 minutes away from a beautiful beach:)

This experience was so interesting we learned lots about the animals and the nature 🌱 The host was very welcoming and cares a lot about his animals 🐑 Work hours were a bit longer than expected and days off were very unclear but the work is fun if you are with other volunteers.
You have to bring your own toilet paper and there is no hot water.
The location is amazing - 5 minute walk to the beach and 20 minutes to Castro ☀️
Would recommend bringing mosquito repellent!!

Thank you for your help Sofia. Having volunteers with different platforms the day off are different for different platforms and projects.
We do not have a time table.
You get up and before making breakfast you send a WhatsApp to Elios that you will be ready in 40 minutes.
Everything is manage by you volunteers.
We put in the dashboard what is required but if you need one day more or less is up to you.
Thank you again for your help !
