The Experience

Villa Cadenza is a beautiful villa set in a very scenic valley in the Langhe region of Piemonte. We are hosting a yoga and wellness retreat at the Villa from 10th to 15th June 2024. Volunteers will be working alongside myself to prepare the ingredients for meals which I will cook for the guests, set the dining table, clear up afterwards and generally help in keeping the Villa tidy.

From day 1 i felt very welcomed and appreciated. Shaminder and Rehmat are beautiful hosts inside and out. The Villa is stunning and you will have time to enjoy the pool! The workload is manageable and Shami will tell you exactly what to do. The food was delicious and I learned a lot! The place is quite remote und you need a car to get around but in our free time we all drove to the local villages and the beach. We also joined some sessions of the retreat led by Rehmat, which were inspiring. The perfect place to experience the Italien-villa-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-life! Thank you:)

I spent 10 days at the host during the trauma healing retreat. There's no one single thing to complain about, I am just grateful for the opportunity of being there. Thanks again both Shaminder and Rehmat for your time with me ;) you are wonderful people with beautiful souls. During my time there I worked helping Shami with the meals for the guests, which included preparing breakfasts, preparing vegetables for lunch and dinner, setting the table and helping with cleaning afterwards. The job is not difficult, Shami will teach you everything you need to know. I recommend this place ;)

Shaminder and Harkirat are wonderful people we spent two weeks that were incredible, they really make you feel at home and family, they care a lot about you, they show us the near places. They are amazing, there are no words to describe what we lived those days more than magical. The place is beautiful, everywhere you turn it looks like a postcard and the people are incomparable, without a doubt I recommend this place, I am grateful for the opportunity to have been able to live this experience.

Shaminder and Harkirat are some of the most incredible people I have ever met. Staying with them is wonderful; they made me feel welcomed and like part of the family. The food they cook is delicious. They involved us and taught us a lot about their wonderful culture. This is one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life!!!

Our time at the host was unforgettable! It was our first experience with Worldpackers and our expectations were more than exceeded. Shaminder and Harkirat are so genuine, open and welcoming, you feel right at home. The work was as stated and definitely manageable! We laughed a lot in our conversations with them but also learned so many new things about history and culture. The villa and the nature in which it is located is stunning and I am grateful that they showed us so many beautiful places. I left with a great feeling, wonderful memories and many delicious recipes ;) Thank you! 🤗
