We are looking for someone that loves this wonderful animals and would like to make a useful and educational experience in this field. Unfortunately, for practical reasons, we will consider applications only from "experts"!

It was a lovely experience volunteering at La Casilla. The family is very warm and welcoming, and they invited me to share amazing lunches and dinners with them. Thanks to Estefanía, Virginia, Silvana, Asia, Vittorio, Soni, and the rest of the family. I will always remember this as a truly wonderful experience. They gave me a private room, and the place is very beautiful and peaceful. I am very grateful to them 🥰

We stayed at the host with my partner to help in the New Year's Eve, and it was the best decision ever. Silvana, Virginia, Assia and everyone else made us feel at home from the first moment we came. We learned a lot about the italian culture and the lenguage, something we really appreciate. The work was clear and organised, everyone helped each other. We ate amazing food and enjoyed the surrounding nature. The acommodation was really comfortable since it's a room of the risort with your own private bathroom. I would definetly recommend this experience to anyone. I hope we'll be back soon!

Our best experience volunteering. For us the host was a rest from feeling away from home. Silvana, Virginia, Assia, Soni and everyone in the family and in the host made us feel like we were part of the family. They are naturally generous, warm and hospitable. If you want to experience italy in all of its grace, i wholeheartedly recommend you this volunteering. The food was amazing, the job was fun and the accomodations were really comfortable. We hope we comeback at some point ♥️

We spent a month at the host and it was a very nice experience! The place is beautiful, peaceful, with lots of greenery and mountains. Stefania and Virginia welcomed us very well and made sure to help us with whatever we needed. We worked the stated average hours and they respected our days off. Responsibilities were usually light and easy to do, and the peronal was very helpful with us. During our time off, we were able to enjoy the facilities and also ate all the excellent Italian food there! the host was a great experience and we really enjoy it! :)

Hard to describe with words the experience I had in here. I arrived there as a volunteer and left as part of the family. On of the most amazing experiences of my life, where I connect with nature, horses and the people, not just the ones from the host but all its neighbors and a lot of the guests. Such lovely people whom I will be forever grateful and now they have a special place in my heart. The place is unbelievably beautiful, the food is delicious and the vibe is so nice. The job is easy but of course you need to be responsible. Nothing else to say than thank you so much to everyone
