Podere Pantaneto
🌿 Why Choose This Place?
If you’re looking for a quiet spot in nature to slow down, create, or help with the land, this place might be perfect. We offer two types of projects depending on the season: art and permaculture.
In Italy, sharing meals and enjoying a spirit of community are very important. I like to welcome volunteers this way, creating a warm, meaningful experience.
🔄 Two Projects, Two Seasons
Art & Creativity: From November to April (one artist at a time), May and October (two artists). Experience in painting or ceramics required. A peaceful, inspiring space to work on your projects.
Garden & Permaculture: From June to September. Active outdoor work involving planting, harvesting, animal care, and more. No experience needed, just motivation and willingness.
🛏 Accommodation & Life
Cozy private or shared rooms
Mostly vegetarian meals cooked and shared together
Minimum stay: 2 weeks
Life is calm, natural, and community-focused
Cleaning the house together once a week
I enjoy spending time with volunteers and organizing outings

I stayed for around 3 weeks and it was a wonderful experience. Truly I felt very welcomed and appreciated. Being inspired by the nature and people. Getting to help and focus on art was very fulfilling.

Defenitely one of the most talented person I met so far. I am so greatful for all the time we spent together. We did paint a lot, made ceramic, handprinted work and visited galleries and lots of places together. The greatest source of motivation. There will always be a room for her in my house. Super recommended!!

Mi sono divertita molto! Alberto sa fare tantissime cose e le sa insegnare bene. Ho imparato a distillare i fiori di lavanda e a lavorare l’argilla. Gli animali sono super buena onda, ti accompagnano ovunque e partecipano alle attività insieme a te! Il cibo a disposizione è ottimo e Alberto aiuta a trovare la propria dimensione, rispettando ciò che ti piace e non ti piace fare. Poi ho avuto modo di entrare realmente in contatto con le persone del posto, suonando e cantando in giro e partecipando a tanti eventi meravigliosi. Super consiglio!!!

Sara first of all you are a great artist and I could find this special approce in everything you did. Not only in the music. Your heart bits one time in Salerno and one time in Mexico and this is so special. It was great to share this unique cultural exchange. I am very happy to hear you found interesting my active and creative approced. I always trying to organize the daily routing according to the visitor's attitude and desires as luckily there is a variety of activities we can do here. :)

I had a very meaningful experience with Alberto. He welcomed me warmly during a difficult time, and the space helped me reconnect and grow personally.
The environment is peaceful, the animals are lovely, and the people around are kind.
Alberto prepares thoughtful activities and keeps the schedule balanced. He was also flexible when I needed time for my own work.
I’m truly grateful and would definitely recommend this experience.
Thank you Alberto! The world needs more people like you with a true desire to help 🙏

The world needs more poople like Diana too. :) She is a very wise and matured person. Around the lavender harvest it's always a busy time but she was super good at it by putting a lot of determination to complate her daily task. A beautiful energy to have around the house. Super recommended!!

I had a good time. The scenery is beautiful and I had the chance to see the local towns, meet people and enjoy the food. I would recommend this for people who like to be remote and off grid as you cannot go anywhere without a car and travel is difficult if the host is busy. There isn't much to do if your are alone, the pool and gym cannot be used if there are guests and there is nothing in walking distance so better as a couple. The tasks could have been clearer as what I was asked to do changed multiple times. Overall it was good for a short stay but organisation with the host was difficult.

El lugar es muy bello, la comida es buena. El host se preocupaba de tener todo tipo de actividades para el tiempo libre, entonces aunque el lugar es aislado no faltan cosas para hacer sin embargo no recomiendo esta experiencia. Las habitaciones no tienen privacidad (una sin cerradura, la otra sin puerta. La limpieza no es algo que se realice frecuentemente. El host tiene un carácter volátil. Yo estaba agotada por viajar mucho, el host lo tomó como ofensa, me pidió que me fuera, luego que me quedara si cambiaba mi actitud (cansancio). No recomiendo mucho menos para mujeres.

As the other host said I should also say that what Esperanza is claiming is not matching with what we have seen in reality. I did my best to cope with a boderline situation she has created and she decided to leave after a conversation where I was simply asking her to show more interest for the activities. I am very sorry to be writing this. I hope she will have great experiences with other hosts and this was only an isolated unfortunate case.
