The expierience in the host was amazing. Dona is an amazing person and an amazing cooker. She always was asking if i need something, in a very kind way. The place is really beautiful. Is a little far from the city, but you can take a train nearby, but i think that is the best thing here, because you can rest and live a little the wild life.. and of course enjoy the pool. Thank you Dona for let me be part of your family! 🥰🙃

The host is a hidden gem. Absolutely loved the whole experience from start to finish. I found what I was looking for, and more! There is peace, calm and tranquility. You're surrounded by nature and amazing people. I also learned lots of new skills along the way. Dona is a jack of all trades, a wonderful person, hard working and very kind. She will make sure you're always fed, and makes you feel at home. It really feels like you're part of the family. The rest of the family, Andrea, Giulia, Gea, and Giorgio are absolutely amazing. I couldn't recommend this experience enough! ❤️

Ciao Joseph,
mi è talmente mancato il tuo aiuto che sono arrivata a scrivere la recensione per te il quindicesimo giorno dalla tua partenza e molto probabilmente non me la pubblicheranno..sono molto dispiaciuta...
ma sappi che, nei mesi passati con noi sei stato di grandissimo aiuto, con noi hai scoperto cosa vuol dire vivere in mezzo al bosco e prendersi cura delle piante e dell'orto . Hai speso tanta tua energia per rendere tutto il giardino, orto e bosco nel migliore dei modi e te ne sono molto grata. sei stato paziente e molto volenteroso come pochi lo sono...Grazie di tutto, alla prossima!!

I had a great time at the host! Dona its an amazing person, she has a lots of stories and cooks delicious, you will never be hungry here. This place its perfect if you want to connect with nature, learn about plants and gardening (Dona knows a lot and will teach you). I do recommend to speak a little of italian beacause Dona does not speak any other languages. The free day its flexible and there are tons of hikes you can do around or cities to visit near by. The daily routine its always different so you will not be bored. Text me if you have any questions. Grazie mille, Brava Donaa!

Thanks the host! Even though the work sometimes is hard, it's totally worth it. Dona is like a grandma who ALWAYS prepares something good to eat, so you are not gonna be hungry here! Since it's a family, we eat together with Dona and Giorgio (her husband) and sometimes on sundays the rest of the family comes to have lunch. If you really want to disconnect from the city, this is your place. It's super peaceful, the only noise comes from the chickens and birds. I suggest to speak italian, even a little bit to communicate with Dona. She always have a good story to tell💕 Grazie per le risate!

The host is definitely a beautiful place. Ideal to relax and be in contact with nature. Dona is a very gentle and hard-working woman, always willing to provide what is necessary to make the stay of guests and volunteers better. I'm really very grateful for welcoming me as if I were family, for teaching me about plants and for feeding me so well! Experience more than recommended! Thank you Dona, Andrea and Giorgio for everything! We will see you again soon!
