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!

The host has been a great experience and stay. From the location, the hosts and how to do work; it truly has been a pleasure. Donatella, Andrea and family have been exceptionally welcoming to a point where I felt this was a home from home. I couldn't have asked for better people to be around. With a sense of humour, fair expectations and very open to discussion. Not a day here has felt like a chore, indeed the opposite. So if you're looking for a great stay, with fair work, friendly people whilst being close to Bologna. Look no further, Grazie mille, Elliott.

The host é un piccolo paradiso in mezzo al bosco. Sono stato un mese e mi é piaciuto tantísimo. C'é l'hai il Bosco Ed il orto per lavorare. Se ti piace caminare/trekking, ci sono tantisimi sendieri con paessagi bellísimi. Dona é carissima, puoi migliorare l'italiano con lei, imparare ed assaggiare tantísimo sulla cucina italiana e come utilizare l'erbe dal Bosco anche dall'orto nel cibo. Conoscere la sua famiglia anche é stato veramente un piaccere. Molto divertente e carina. A volte il lavoro puo sembrare un po pesante, e si deve fare con attenzione. Ma sicuro ho la voglia di ritornare!
