It's crazy how much I've fallen for this place, Garda let me speechless. I could swim and relax in the lake every single day and there are so many amazing spots to explore around. From the farm, you can watch the sun setting behind the mountains and the view is lovely. This was my first Worldpackers experience. The work is peaceful and the food always fresh and healthy with unique recipes like the blueberry risottoooo I'm truly grateful for these calm weeks on the farm. Fabio, thank you once again for everything :)

I am so grateful for my time on the farm and with Fabio. I spent two weeks on the property, clearing my mind, awing at the beautiful scenery and eating delicious food cooked by Fabio. Out of all the volunteering I have done, this experience really stands out. The work is very relaxing and Fabio was always keen to help and teach us if there was something we weren't sure about. He's very open minded and understanding which I really appreciated while being there. My time here felt like one long meditation. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Fabio!

I spent two amazing weeks picking blueberries in the morning, eating delicious homemade meals during the day and swimming regulary in the Lake. You have to be prepared to dark humour (and dark chocolate) but I'll never forget all our little debates around the table. When you enter Fabio's home you enter a free space where you can talk about anything, we didn't agree on everything but I always felt respected and the times where it felt otherwise we just talked it out. The setting is also breathtaking (there's so many beautiful hikes !). I couldn't ask for a better first experience.

I enjoyed a lot!!👩🏼‍🌾🏔 I found there what I needed: connection and peace in myself & nature, but also got new friends!:) We had interesting conversations and many laughs. We communicated honestly and that's what I suggest if you go there: be open how you think and feel, if you're uncomfortable with Fabio's humour or anything, you can talk about it. Fabio wants us volunteers to have a good stay and he's open-minded. And ahhh he cooked deliciousss food!!! Thank you <3 +++ I could go down when he drove the deliveries after lunch, so I were swimming at the lake almost every day, recommend!!!🐠

This experience was absolutely wonderful and exactly what I needed! After a few crazy months it was the peace I had been looking for. Calm mornings of work which was always super satisfying, and free afternoons where you could do whatever you please even if it means doing nothing at all! Fabio was incredible and I recommend it to everyone who's looking for a haven.
