The Experience

There is always a lot of recurring and entertaining work to do around our place, so we sure need help. We can get an extra hand in restoring walls and cleaning the small houses, for example. I hope to meet people who love to stay, to help and to enjoy the nature. We live in the south of Italy and are blessed to have this beautiful place. The shifts are in the mornings, so we have the rest of the day free. No drugs, please.

Amazing experience in Italy! The place is perfect if you want to disconnect and live a simple, rural lifestyle close to nature. The work was very simple, mainly harvesting olives and doing a bit of painting and you cook for yourself, which adds to the experience. Iris is an incredible host, always kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and meaningful stay.

This was my very first Worldpackers experience and I could not recommend it more! “Shifts” are from 8am to 1pm with a break. You have to cook for yourself and buy groceries which taught me how to cook better so no complaining. There are a couple guest houses she has for Worldpackers to stay in. The village is beautiful but a far far walk from shops and food. Iris was an AMAZING host. She took me into town when available. I enjoyed the work in nature and especially enjoyed how Iris and her family interact. Such an amazing experience I will forever remember. If you're contemplating going, GO.

It was an amazing experience! I already miss Isca ❤️ This is the perfect place if you're looking to clear your mind and reconnect with nature. I loved the olive harvesting and our cozy tea breaks. I'm really grateful to Iris for everything!

So glad to come back again! This time was just as lovely as last time. The house was magical, the people sweet. Many wholesome memories, many shared laughs. I really loved every task given either if it was with chickens or paint brushes, was always interesting and a learning experience ♥️
