Volunteering at Our Horse Stable in Tuscany!

Me and my dog, Bilbo, had a very nice experience with the farm and her family. They were all very welcoming, kind, and enjoyable to be around. I could not stay as long as the time we agreed upon because I couldn't be in the Schengen area for over 90 days, but I told them in advance and they were very understanding and flexible with me. The work is very physically demanding and the horses can be a bit unpredictable but as long as you know horses pretty well, you should be fine! I felt comfortable voicing any questions or concerns that I had and they met all the needs and requests that I had. 😊

I had a nice stay in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Unfortunately housing first provided wasn't sanitary (I learned later another worldpacker refused to stay there just few days before I arrived) so I commuted to the farm daily. Farm work was very easy, guiding the vineyards rides was dreamy and handling youngsters with the local stableman was super insightful. We also helped at the farm's partner estate business at times due to bad weather and off season. Overall I am grateful to the farm for bettering our communication, and her efforts and flexibility to turn this into a positive experience

Hi Andréa, I would like to clarify a few things for the sake of transparency. As soon as you expressed concerns about the initial accommodation, I immediately arranged for you to stay in a different apartment, which I personally covered the cost for. I truly wanted you to feel as comfortable as possible. As a small and evolving farm, we are always doing our best to create a genuine and enriching experience for our volunteers.Wishing you all the best on your future adventures!

Melisay su familia son muy amables. Siempre están disponibles para hacer un plan divertido, llevarte a conocer lugares nuevos, enseñarte su cultura y brindarte lo que necesites. El trabajo es 100% lo que esperaba. Las cabalgatas se hacen por la mañana y por la tarde, no más de 3 por lo general. Los clientes suelen ser amables y es divertido guiarlas. Por otro lado, el lugar donde hospedarse a mi criterio, bastante incomodo y no cumple con lo básico. Hay cosas rotas y está sucio. Esto podría mejorarse! En conclusión, fue una experiencia muy divertida para este momento de mi vida! :)
