I am so grateful for my time there, what a wild and unique experience. The staff and working guests who were there when I was were an incredible and diverse group of people. The team was very compassionate to accommodate my early departure due to a family emergency, I am hoping that the universe allows me to find my way back to the center someday to finish what I started there. The housing is rustic (think waking up to cowbells and communal bathrooms shared between at least 20 people) but has everything I needed to feel comfortable and home-y.

The center was a great experience! I felt very welcome and comfortable, I learn a lot, the community in this place is amazing and you met very nice people. The work is fine, you have enough free time to discover around. The place is beautiful and with a lot of nature. Katerina and David were super nice all the time. I'm already missing this place!

My stay at the Center was impactful to say the least. I will admit the organization throughout the leadership team does have room for improvement, as well as communication with working guests (volunteers) before their arrival. With that being said, the work was fair, accommodation was decent, and the people made this place incredible. Thank you soooooo much to all of the staff, volunteers and animals (Alan and Nove specifically) that made my stay magical. Much love to all!!

I had a great experience here! The work is pretty light and you have plenty of free time. There are a lot of volunteers and you all live together, so there's a great social atmosphere and always people around! In your time off there are a lot of options for outdoor activities, and the train station is not far if you want to travel. One thing I would say is that the mosquitos and heat are bad in the summer, so come with repellant and light clothing! I had a wonderful experience overall though, I met so many special people and I'll be sad to leave.

My experience was cool. I have met nice people and got the opportunity to live immersed in nature. I have done mostly cleaning and making beds. Magda is amazing person. I enjoyed working with her. others are also kind and helpful. The place is little bit neglected. the kitchen is dirty and it was cold. if you don't go to the centre to eat, you are not allowed to touch the food or take something to cook for yourself without permission unlike other hosts where I had the right to eat whatever I want when I want and grocery was done for volunteers so that they eat full 3 meals.

It was a very good experience, I met many people and many beutiful places near Lago d'Orta, the Center is an amazing place in the mountains. Going from the house to the center takes about 15 min walking up. There are may green paths for hiking and small towns to visit. Different types of tasks but they explain well how to do them. There are other volunteers who can also guide you. Highly recommended.
