I had a great experience staying with Alessio and Majbe. They were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout my stay. I learned so much not only about harvesting, but also about the plants and herbs growing around us and how to use them in cooking. One of the highlights was learning how to make pasta from scratch such a fun and rewarding experience! It was a truly enriching and peaceful time, and I'm grateful for everything they shared with me. Grazie!

This was such an incredible experience! Alessio and Maj-Britt were so kind and welcoming. I did a week of cooking classes and had the opportunity to make so much great, authentic Italian food. The hosts were so generous with their knowledge, time, and food. They truly made me feel at home. I also was able to learn about their farm and help harvest fruit. I had the best time and know everyone who does this will love it!!

I had an absolutely wonderful time with Alessio and Maj-Britt!!! I did 1 week of cooking classes and it surpassed my expectations in all regards. They are such wonderful teachers of both life and good food. We made incredible recipes everyday, and enjoyed the slow life & simple pleasures. We also learned the properties about the plants, herbs, and ingredients we were eating, as Alessio and Maj-Britt are very knowledgeable and passionate individuals. The surrounding land is beautiful and we got to explore & visit local events which was really fun. If you want call me by your name energy, COME.

I had a wonderful experience at the project! For anyone who loves nature and wants to learn more about it, it is the perfect place. It was beautiful to work on the farm, under the sunset, surrounded by mountains and there were always lots of diversified tasks to do. Maj-Britt and Alessio are wonderful people, very welcoming and that make you feel comfortable. They gave clear directions for our tasks and cooked delicious Italian food for us. A very positive experience!

Alessio and Maj-Britt are wonderful people that welcomed me into their home with open arms. My volunteer experience at the project was the best month of my life immersed in spectacular nature and Italian culture. The work on the farm was peaceful. We harvested lampone, ribes, made macerato di ortica (natural insecticide), cleaned out weeds on the lines, seeded and much more. I was even able to experience bee keeping and private gardening. We worked Monday to Friday and I had weekends off to explore and relax. I truly feel like I learnt so much and would recommend this to anyone.

A very welcoming and friendly family. Every time we sat down together for meals I felt comfortable. There is always something new to learn and lots of different things to do. I felt like I was always learning something and could always ask more questions. A great experience! You can truly see their love and passion for the environment and their projects.

The project is a really special place. It allowed me to appreciate nature and the people around me, in a way I had never experienced before. The project is filled with admirable and inspirational people who truly made an impact in my life. Though living conditions in the tents were difficult at times (when it rains) and work hours occasionally were more than agreed, the whole experience has been very positively impactful for me, and i believe it will be for others as well :)
