The lodge is a hidden gem !! Gaia is a really kind and calm person who explains every task and makes sure you understand. He always check with you that you are comfortable doing the work and he cares about your well being. The tasks were quite diversified, like feeding the chicken, watering the plants, painting, trimming bushes, sand a wooden floor, cleaning the pool, etc… Overall, this place is very peaceful and really made me connect with nature. I could not be happier about my first experience of Worldpackers !

I couldn't be more grateful that the lodge peretti is my first worldpackers experience! Throughout this experience, I've really felt connected and grounded with myself in such a beautiful environment ! Gaia and Marketa are really comprehensive and patient people and they are always there for your needs! Also you can never get bored with their kid Adam and Elena! I would a 100% recommend this place. The tasks were diversified and well explained. For example, during my stay we were building the treehouse, so a lot of painting, sanding and woodwork.

This was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't be better. All the tasks were very well explained and Gaia had a lot of patience for us during the learning process. It was the perfect opportunity to ground myself and immerse into nature. The family was very welcoming and always made sure we were ok. A very fun and enriching experience that I feel honoured to have experienced.

Had a wonderful time with Gaia and family. The work was super diverse and interesting, Gaia was very patient and thorough explaining the tasks which was really appreciated. We had fun involving the kids with the work and exploring the local area with the family and by ourselves.

Had the amazing opportunity to spend a month at this beautiful and remote placement where the hosts are incredibly welcoming. My girlfriend and I stayed in the dome at the lodge where our tasks were mostly gardening and woodworking. (currently building a treehouse) It was a ton of fun! I, didn't have any experience in gardening and anything related to carpentry. Gaia was super patient in explaining everything clearly and showing us how to safely use the tools and materials. He's incredibly kind, very understanding and flexible. Would definitely recommend this to everyone 10/10 thanks so much! <3

This was a wonderful and unforgettable experience, I recommend it 100% Gaia and his family welcome us with kindness, their children are full of energy and joy, and we had a great time with them. The place is beautiful, it is located between two small towns that you can visit walking. The work is not difficult and Gaia is flexible with the tasks and the schedule. He always makes sure that you are comfortable with the work and if you don't know how to do something, he teaches you patiently. I discovered incredible places and learned new things. Thank you for everything Gaia and family 😄

My stay at the lodge couldn't be more wonderful. The work wasn't hard, but you have to keep in mind that it can sometimes be physically challenging when it comes to the repair and construction. The schedule is very flexible and you can arrange it for your own needs. The place is stunning, you can go on hikes around the place and visit some of the nearby towns in your free time. I only have gratitude for Gaia and his family for their kindness and making us part of their family for the time we stayed there.

My experience in the lodge was wonderful! Gaia is really understanding and flexible with your working hours. Him and his wife Marketa are really welcoming. They treated me like part of the family since the beginning. I had a lot of fun with their crazy kids Adam and Elena, and also Dory their dog, an infallible company. They all have a beautiful energy and made my stay an unforgettable experience. Thank you guys for such an enriching and joyful time together!! Hope we meet again

I absolutely loved my time with Gaia and his family. The perfect place to take an extra breath after running around between different hostels and absorb the rural Italian life. Daily activities include mowing the grass and caring for the chickens, but there's usually a special project on the go as well!(YAY TREEHOUSE) I wish I could have stayed so much longer❤️❤️ I hope to visit again soon!! Thank you for everything.🥰🌞

My stay at the lodge was my first experience with Worldpackers. I enjoyed it and would do it again. Gaia and Marketa are very kind hosts, working hours are respected and mistakes or misunderstandings are handled fairly. The work was always manageable and mostly explained very well. We were asked to watch our working hours ourselves which worked very well for me. Gaia also always tried to make sure that we are comfortable with the work and I felt appreciated. :) Some of the tasks I did included painting, preparing breakfast tables for the guests, gardening, feeding the chickens and ducks,...
