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.

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.

Thank you Georgina, I only have good memories about the time we spent together. The pizza night, a lot of music, and your very active attitude around the house. I apriciated it. Very special time. :)

Initially I enjoyed this experience but we had a disagreement towards the end and the host asked me and the other volunteer to leave early. I did not expect to be asked to clean a different property to the one we were staying in. I did enjoy the farm work, planting and weeding the vegetable garden. I did every job I was asked to do including cleaning a pool. The location is beautiful. The room I slept in had no door and was dirty when I arrived. The host made some comments that made me uncomfortable. The location is very remote. I would not recommend women to apply here.

Read my profile for more details. Joanne is a bad person with many problems. Hope she will find a good therapist that will help her. I could not. After spending a lot of time talking to her I could only ask her to leave. Very bad experience.
