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

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!!!

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.

Staying in Radicondoli was a peaceful and inspiring experience. Surrounded by nature, I truly enjoyed the calm atmosphere—it felt like a real escape for the senses. I had the chance to visit some of the charming nearby villages. My host, Alberto, was welcoming, supportive, and motivating, always creating a positive and encouraging environment. I felt really good during my time there and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a stay in the heart of Tuscany.
A big thank you to Alberto for his warm hospitality, the good food and the beautiful conversations we shared.

My experience with Alberto was very positive. The place was beautiful, a true paradise. Participating in the farm tasks was really enjoyable, from the ceramics and arts to the village projects like theater and cinema. Gardening, in particular, was incredibly peaceful. It was a very enriching experience to live everyday life of the Italians in the Tuscan villages. Alberto was a very kind host, always generous and inspiring. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to have learned and grow there and for all the positive moments we shared.
