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.

It was my first time volunteering and the experience has been incredible. The place is amazing and you can really connect with nature. During the week, I learned a lot about gardening and construction with Raymond's help. On weekends, Ilaria makes delicious Italian meals. There is also Lourdes, who is generous and attentive, always eager to help so that everything works well. I felt at home and I have great memories of Podere Sasso. I recommend this place 100%.

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
