My stay at the lodge was so wonderful and peaceful! Gaia and his family are kind and welcoming, and he would take us to local spots in the surrounding area some afternoons. The work is not difficult and the hours are respected. It is a bit far from the surrounding towns but they are easily accessible if you like to walk, which we did a couple of times:) It is a great opportunity to slow down, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and meet some wonderful people. Thank you Gaia and Marketa for a great first volunteer experience!!

I had an amazing time volunteering at the lodge! Gaia is absolutely great, generous, and incredibly thoughtful. His family is lovely too, and made me feel so welcome. Gaia took us on local trips to the lake and to the best gelato spot. He respected the working hours and gave us a nice variety of tasks, which kept things interesting and enjoyable. The only small downside is the location, public transport isn't the easiest, and buses can be a bit tricky. But if you're into nature, peaceful walks, and stunning Tuscan views, you'll love it here. Highly recommend!

This place is incredible, surrounded by nature. Every day feels different if you know how to make the most of it and live life to the fullest. I felt like it was my real home. ... My experience was very pleasant. I met and made many friends. Gaia's family is very kind and friendly. I loved their pets, which are very cute. I would definitely return to this place. Thank you!

The tasks everyday were well explained and time commitment was always respected. the lodge will always hold a special place in my memories and I hope to return at some point as it was effortless to relax and find presence and happiness everyday!

The place is amazing, I connected with people from all the world every week, I learned many interesting things, I was full by the Italian culture during my stay there. the work schedule is respected during the week and I loved that I had the opportunity to go to the beach, visit nearby towns, eat a lot of pizza and the castles around. It's a quiet place perfect for connecting with you and new people. gaia's kids are a lot of fun. really appreciated being here 🫶🏻
