The Experience
Our property consists of a hotel and another house, where Alberto and the managers live. The area is surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, lavender fields, and pure nature. Our focus is organic farming with a deep focus on adapting to nature and the seasons. The help is needed on the private side of our property. You'll help with tasks such as taking care of the lavender field, veggie garden, the chicken, and maintenance around the place :)

I loved my time on the farm and with Alberto and the other volunteer. Alberto showed us the local towns and fun places to go! The farm is so beautiful and it has the best dog and cat ever, chickens, and geese. We got to learn a lot about sustainability, cooking, gardening, animal care, Italian culture, and farming. I love that the food is mostly farm to table style. Really let yourself unplug and enjoy the nature and peace there, it will be an amazing experience if you do that. Thank you Alberto for helping me and for giving us an awesome, unforgettable experience.

I had a great time at Alberto's. The property is located in a beautiful place, but it is isolated, which is nice if you're looking for a reaaaally quiet spot. We had delicious meals, nice hikes, some short trips and boardgame nights. The activities depend of the weather and the season, but for sure you must like animals, gardening, cooking and you have to be willing to get your shoes and hands dirty. The only problem was about Alberto's attitude, which wasn't always the nicest, but we all have our good and bad days, I guess. Anyway, I loved the experience, I had the chance to learn a lot :)

Alberto was a wonderful and welcoming host! He would help through every step of what is expected of you and go above and beyond to bring you a local and unique experience. He is understanding when things don't go as planned, and is always willing to help with whatever you might need.

It was a great experience generally speaking, i felt disconnected of the constant rush of the city. This place was surrounded by hills and tiny villages, we went to some and played music with local people which was such an amazing experience for me.The daily routine at the farm wasn't too heavy most of the time, you can learn a lot and also rest and enjoy the place as well.In the other hand, We had some communication's differences with Alberto that we carry throughout our stay there but at the end, it couldn't affect the positive vibes of this volunteering. Thanks Alberto for all you did.
