Podere Sasso is a place that touched my heart in such a short time. I felt truly welcomed by the hosts and inspired by the volunteers and everything I lived there. Sharing moments, connecting with people, enjoying the nature, the food, and the energy of this place made me grow in many ways. I'll always carry this experience with a lot of gratitude.

I really loved the place and it felt amazing to enter the property. Its true what others say, Podero Sasso has something magical. Great for people who like nature and are not afraid to get their hands dirty, i liked the fact that you can organize your own working hours as long as you manage to do the 30hours a week. Also the people you work with are really kind , same goes for Raymond and his wife. They make you feel welcome and appreciated. About the food, you can make your own breakfast and the lunch and diner they provide is amazing. They take good care of you. 10/10 ❤️ cheers

A great overall experience. I loved getting to work on the garden, the landscaping projects, and being at this property. What was originally going to be 2 weeks turned into 6 in the end!

Well I'm still here after the original two weeks that I planned to stay here, and I've definitely enjoyed my time at Podere Sasso. The gardening, landscaping, and soil preparation we've been doing has been nice because I can see that we are chipping away at projects that are making a difference for the future. Ray, Ilaria, and crew work really hard, so it's inspiring to get motivated by their hard work they're doing as well. Great to be in nature with nice people, recommendable for sure.

I really enjoyed my time at Podere Sasso. The villa and property is absolutely stunning. The home has a few quirks but is a warm and clean place to stay. The meals are incredible, I will miss Ilaria's cooking! I would definitely recommend this place if you enjoy working outside.

I have no words... this place has something otherworldly. It's really a place to disconnect and reconnect with nature, lots of beautiful spots, flowers and delicate art in the garden. Good place to read a book, watch the sunset and sunrise. Ilaria cooks delicious imaginable things of traditional Italian food. Raymond is very flexible and although he has a busy schedule he can help you understand the task ASAP. I am very thankful to have the chance to stay here! Hope the best!

The estate is very old and very beautiful. Everyone I met here was very kind to me and did their best to make sure I was comfortable. Ilaria is a food wizard and I will miss lunches and dinners with the whole team. This was a nice break from a fast paced busy life, however be prepared for some heavy lifting! A hot shower and great food feels great at the end of the day.

My time at Podere Sasso was one of laughter and good vibes. I met so many cool people that made the work and time off incredibly enjoyable - I have made friends for life here. The property is incredibly beautiful, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside from the main house. A particular highlight was the homemade meals and the many laughs around the dinner table. A special thanks to Ray, Illaria and Lourdes for making it feel like a proper community. The work could be difficult and direction was lacking at times, but I enjoyed my time here thoroughly. Recommended!

We had a great time working at Podere Sasso! Ilaria and Ray provided a great working environment and amazing food. We worked on the strawberry patch, raked lots of leaves, cleared the veggie garden, and got to experience a bit of Tuscan farm life. Thank you for having us!

I had an amazing time meeting new people and building lifelong connections with both the hosts and fellow volunteers! The communal living experience brought a wonderful sense of camaraderie, and our team spirit made both work and downtime genuinely enjoyable. The hosts' cooking, especially Ilaria's, was incredible—I happily ate to the point of bursting! Shared meals were filled with laughter and interesting conversations. While tasks could be a bit scattered, the overall experience was good. The hosts also generously provided clothing, which was super helpful.
