The Experience

We need someone who knows how to repair dry stone walls. There are 3 sections of 2m each of an old dry stone wall that runs either side of a Roman style stone & gravel driveway. The fallen stones are square/rectangular, and some are quite heavy. You must have experience in dry stone walling, we don’t. So that is why we need your help.

Their old farmhouse gives a special traditional old-style vibe you can't find anywhere else. I loved picking my own work times during the week, and Raymond kindly guided me through the tasks. There's also Lordes, such a cheerful and peaceful lady; she takes care of you and makes sure the atmosphere stays light. Her presence really makes the home feel like a little family. And the food… truly, it was the best part of my experience. On weekends, Ilaria makes colorful, yummy Italian meals with fresh organic stuff, great local wine and fresh olive oil.

My girlfriend and me had amazing time in podere sasso! Not only was the place itself beautiful in a very gorgeous landscape but also the people that were there filled the house with a fun energy and especially at dinner, and often after, it felt like a nice little family. The tasks were hard but rewarding and the instructions were clear. Raymond is very helpful and a great host with interesting stories and a great sense of humor. Ilaria is so full of postive energy and Lourdes caring, kind,funny and very interested in worldy affairs. We had so much much fun and learned a lot. Thank youu!

It was my first experience as a volunteer, and it was more better than I expected. Podere Sasso is separated from the fast-paced world, we could live a peaceful life in this paradise. Raymund is a really smart, kind man and his wife, Ilaria is an amazing cook whose dishes was incredible. Thank you for everything ❤️

It was a wonderful experience being there! Our room was comfortable, the food was always fresh and they care about our needs. Raymond is a strong character and Ilaria makes the weekends special. The works are relatively hard but rewarding at the end, and Ray makes every task clear enough. I would definetely recommend this place for couples! All the best to Ray and Ilaria

Podere Sasso was a peaceful and inspiring place, deeply connected with nature. During my time there, I had the opportunity to model and design the rooms of the home house. This experience was very meaningful and enriching for my career in interior architecture. No one tried to impose limits or act superior. it truly felt like I was at my family's summer house. Raymond was a wonderful host and the meals were delicious. The village is a bit far, but if you see it as a bit of exercise, it becomes much more enjoyable. Thank you for everything. Hope to see you again.
