I truly enjoyed my time here. It was my first experience volunteering and it couldn't have been a better fit for me. The family is the kindest, most welcoming and always ready to help - it was a real pleasure getting to know them! The place is amazing, lots of opportunities to visit other cities such as Trento, Bologna and Venice and Mantova itself is such a lovely town - especially when taking the bike to sit by the lake! A fantastic experience that I can warmly recommend. I hope to come back one day:))

Really lovely experience! Felt very welcomed and nice environment to work in and be around. Really good communication and felt very valued as a volunteer. Great experience to learn a bit about hospitality and Italian culture. A lovely opportunity to meet lovely people and lovely fellow travellers. Definitely recommend also a fantastic position to see a lot of Italy very easily and a great way to learn Italian. A very inspiring experience and lots of lovely memories. Also, the farm is in a very calm and tranquil area which is very grounding and Mantova which is very close is stunning!

This is a beautiful place for disconnected, , you have a comfortable room and a kitchen with everything you need to cook , you should know that these are not vacations, you have many benefits but in exchange you must work the agreed hours with a lot of dedication , it is a very demanding job since perfection is expected of you and you must know how to work under pressure ,but Bea is always looking out for you to have what you need, she and his brother are very good people, they always help me with everything. is in Mantova, with good conextion for go to venice, verona, Bolzano etc thanks!!

The farm is a very beautiful, cozy countryside family hotel! You feel like a member of Italian family! The hosts are very kind and supportive. All tasks are clear, you should be ready to learn doing many different things for a hotel business. Also here you can improve your Italian language skills, meet international travelers and other WP volunteers!

My time at the farm was beautiful. I stayed for five weeks and during those weeks I was welcomed wholeheartedly into their home by Bea, Luca and their family. We had amazing meals, learnt so much about the italian language, I cycled around the area which is ripe with nature and such beauty and was able to visit many places with another volunteer which also added to the experience making a new friend! The work is easy when you get the hang of it with some busy mornings, I enjoyed it! Be prepared to work responsibly, the whole experience and people I will never forget. Grazie mille :)

I really loved my time at the farm! For me the most special thing is that the agriturismo is located in front of a very beautiful park, so I could make bike rides, run, yoga and watch amazing sunsets near the nature! Luca e Bea are very nice people, open to dialog and they will make you all the traditional foods of Mantova - about the food: just amazing. The room has a beautiful view b beside some bugs. The activities was very clear all the schedules was respected. Beware, it's not a vacation so be prepared to work a lot but also learn a lot about the operations of an hotel/b&b

My time at the farm was great. The location was perfect: a calm place between fields, with a bike path along a river, and with the Alps in the background; yet very close to beatiful cities like Mantova and Verona, where we spent our days off / free time. The hosts were very welcoming to me and the other volunteer; and counted us in for dinners with their family. The work, for me, was easy to get used to, and was a little different from day to day (we sometimes did gardening, baking...) which made it entertaning. I definitly recomended coming here!

Excellent place to volunteer! The treatment is very human, the place where you stay is very familiar and comfortable. The schedule and tasks are respected. The food is of excellent quality, internet is also good to work. In addition you have several cities nearby to visit on your day off such as Verona, Bologna, Venice, Milan. I felt so good that I didn't want to leave!

My time at the farm was amazing!!! I am so thankful for Bea and Davide. They welcomed me in their home with open arms and where always ready to answer all the questions I had during work and outside and gave great recommendations on how to spend the free day. The work was very manageable, but you have to pay close attention to a lot of details because they have higher standards than hostels, wich makes sense since this is a 3 star hotel. But the time was greatly respected and I felt very at home :))

My time here was overall good. The work itself wasn't difficult, but there were moments when the workload felt heavier than the time allocated to complete it, which made it challenging to stick to regular work hours. At times, it felt like too much was expected. On the positive side, the room was comfortable, and I really enjoyed being able to cook my own meals. It was also great meeting other volunteers from different countries, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a decent experience.

Thank you so much Tyla for your positive experience!!! After many years, we see that the time given is more than enough to complete tasks required as many volounters had no problem with it. Tasks are the same everyday, first days it takes longer to learn, but then faster once you get the normal routine. About expectations, we only expect that tasks are completed in the proper way, but every volounteer can also take extra time to complete them, as there is no rush. We do really appreciate your help and we wish you all the best !!!
