Pantaleo

Our land is located in a beautiful place in the south of Italy. We are surrounded by nature and we are really connect to it. If you are looking for a really peaceful spot, but are also willing to learn more about how to work with the nature, this is your place!

We have a lot of tasks to do, but we always do it with a lot of love and respect for the nature and what is provided to us. We expect the volunteers to really help us with the various tasks we have, but we also want to connect with them and that they can enjoy and appreciate our beautiful place!

I had the absolute best experience at Isca with Iris! This was my first worldpackers experience and I didn’t really know what to expect but the 3 weeks I spent here completely exceeded expectations in every way. Iris is so amazing and caring, the work was varied and fulfilling - especially out in the orchards, and the place itself is sooo beautiful. August was a great month to be there with so many local festivities going on and this meant I was able to connect with locals and learn a lot about the culture and language, which was a huge bonus. Truly such a phenomenal experience!!

I had such an amazing first World Packers experience on Iris’s farm in Isca! Iris is such a wonderful host, always providing clear work instructions, respectful of working times, creating new & interesting tasks for us to do everyday, and including us in her trips into town & to summer festivals & markets. Iris was so welcoming & passionate about her farm and the Isca community. I will miss our tea breaks & snorkeling at the beach with her! Isca is such a small but unique town that holds so much character to it & land surrounding it is absolutely magical & the local community is so welcoming!

This experience was unsafe, dishonest, and distressing. You do not stay in the house shown - instead it’s a remote shack at the bottom of a dangerous mountain trail. No electricity, no lighting, no running water by day 5. Kitchen had no door, full of bugs, fridge was far uphill. Host was aggressive, dismissive and blamed me for raising concerns, gave no real Italian lessons, and made us divide and cement up a mountain without any safety gear. I am someone who travels alone often and enjoys solitude, but this is extreme - I left after 5 nights. This host exploits volunteers. Do NOT stay here.

After many positive reviews about the WPS, unfortunately, one now has no stars. Not everyone appreciates the natural experience by the river, as clearly stated. This girl thought they did, but the reality turns out differently. Blaming the temporary lack of water, only one solar lamp, or the missing photo of the location is a weak excuse. Many others have gone before her; read the reviews. Communication was lacking, despite me asking if everything was okay. Fortunately, everyone is free to leave

Although I was only there for two weeks, I had a great time. The location is awesome, it just gets a little hot in the sun. The work can be hard but feels very rewarding. The tea and snacks are superb, and my legs are very in shape. I would definitely recommend to come for three or more weeks to really live the life and see all that is around Isca. Thank you Iris and Martín for everything 🤘
