The experience at this farm was my first and a wonderful one. I am grateful to Antonello, Giuseppe, and Giulia for everything. They are very friendly, cheerful and kind people. I met wonderful people here. The farm is located in a picturesque location. You should be prepared that in that time it's is a little bit cold outside and inside. The work was not difficult and often depended on the weather and the presence of guests on this farm. I learned a lot of new things. Antonello always offers volunteers to participate in certain activities.

Giuseppe, Giulia and the volunteers were my family for 16 days! This experience has left me an immensity of memories. I learned so many new things! I didn't want to leave anymore! Antonello and all the people who work with him are really wonderful! The only advice is to face this experience in the warmer months. I love you, you will always be in my heart ❤️

This was my first time volunteering and what I can say is that it was very special. I spent around two weeks there and from the start I was very well received by everyone. The work isn't heavy but there's a lot that needs to be done, so you really have to work. The yoga classes are fantastic, you can't do them every day but on your days off you can join in and I can tell you that it's really worth it. I don't know if it was luck, but all the volunteers who were there with me were amazing, we formed a really nice bond. I can only say thank everyone at the Farm for welcoming me.

Overall, I had a good experience, largely because of the other volunteers I met and the nature setting. The yoga classes were good and I enjoyed the hikes that we went on. It is hard work, the construction work is intense, but overall I enjoyed working with other international travellers. I was surprised that there was so much emphasis on catering to the paying guests, and I felt more like an employee than a volunteer. It is primarily a hotel, not a farm. I didn't love the vibe, sometimes the attitude towards volunteers was disappointing, and I think management could be improved.

I enjoyed my stay at the yoga farm, overall experience was nice, from the volunteers I met to the work in itself. Pros - Lunches and diners have really good and abundant food (yes that is the first thing that comes to my mind do not judge me x) ) - The volunteer team, Antonello and his partner were all super nice, and I made some good friends along the way Cons - Giuseppe and Elizabeth, two members of the staff during my stay, were not very welcoming towards me, they were not rude by any means, but definitely not friendly either. Not something dramatic, but I did not like the vibes^^

It should not be advertised as 4h work; it is not. Finely crossing the line between a fair trade..

The real souls of this beautiful place are the volunteers, Giuseppe (the "host's" father) and Viki (the dog) :) You will spend lots of hours with them at work, preparing meals, trying talking Italian and lauhging! From the ones you'll receive kidness, gratitude, fun & love! Regarding the system and operation of the place, urgently needs to hire a professional host & manager to improve in many aspects, since it has lots potencial.

Absolutely loved to spend time with the other volunteers, and Giuseppe - working , hiking and making food. You will get to practice Italian, and learn how to prepare good Italian food everyday. As the other volunteers above me mentions, the hours are long, but that also contains the socialising, language-practice and food preparations. So if you don't mind “working”, it won't be a problem. I got to join yoga classes on my days off, even a Thai-massage workshop. I would not want to be without my stay at the farm.

Dear Tea,
thank you very much for taking the time to write your honest and useful review. I am glad you mentioned about the help with the meals and in the morning. That is one of the main aspects of our volunteer program. I hope that will help potential volunteers to make a better informed decision.
