Meditative work at strawberry farm in gorgeous location

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!!πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸŒΎπŸ” 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.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I have no complaints! We spent a few hours in the mornings picking strawberries / blueberries then had the rest of the day to ourselves to explore. The lake is a 30 minute walk away and is absolutely stunning, definitely one of my favorite views of Italy. Fabio prepares a delicious lunch and dinner and is very chill and understanding. I had an amazing week here :)

Before arrive, reading the comments I was a little bit afraid of the experience. But actually was a amazing volunteering! Fabio and Larissa are so nice people, and the work is easy and pleasant. Its a perfect place if you want to rest, give yourself a pause and be introduced into the nature and what nature can provide for us. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe and respected. Yes, the toilet its shared but we have our own room, and Fabio makes everything, even more that he needed. The hours are respected, the food is great and the farm is even better than the photos. Grazie mille!!

My experience at the farm was good, the place is very beautiful and full of nature, the work is simple and really meditative, plus we can eat strawberries and blueberries every day (the best part), the place is a bit far from the city, however, every day Fabio goes out to make deliveries and you can go and enjoy the lake a bit, but it's also super nice to relax in the hammock on the farm with the view of the lake!

This little the farm holds a big place in my heart now, I loved my experience so much. It was more beautiful in person than the photos and exactly the type of experience I was looking for (calm, relaxing). I stayed there for 2 weeks, in the mornings I would listen to podcasts while we worked, which wasn't hard and gives you time to think. Fabio was awesome, the meals were great and healthy, I was always entertained by our conversations, he values honesty and I think we communicated well on everything. Most importantly I felt safe and respected, which made me feel so at peace there.

My experience at the farm was wonderful. Fabio was a great host who always did his best to make sure we were happy and comfortable. The house quickly felt like a home and we didn't want to leave when our last day came. We spent the morning picking berries for 4.5 hours and then the rest of the day we had to ourselves to relax, head to the lake, hike to a nearby town, or explore the property. The beds were cozy and the food was delicious!

My time at the farm was amazing. We worked from 6:30 to 11 picking blueberries and it was very peaceful. The house was so cute with the best view of the mountains and the lake. It was a very relaxing week with trips to the lake, chilling on the porch, hiking to the nearby village, and sunset meditations before bed. Fabio was a great host, he provided everything we needed and cooked us delicious meals. Thanks for everything, we will miss you! :)

The location is stunning and I worked 4.5 hours daily starting at 7 a.m. Fabio showed me how to harvest the berries and capers and other tasks. The work was meditative and enjoyable. He also cooked vegan meals which was very kind. My SIM card was not working properly but even so, Fabio generously picked me up from town after a timing miscommunication one day. Echoing previous Worldpackers, he did make some off-putting comments. He told me to ask for clarification if I didn't understand something, which I certainly did, but at times I preferred to change the subject conversation instead.
