I had nice & peaceful time here; tasks, primarily gardening, cleaning aren't difficult, the location itself is beautiful and not touristic, full of small wonders ( a lot of lighting bugs, geckos, majestic mountains),however I need to mention that me and other volunteers had difficulties to communicate with Valeria, a sister of Francesco who have been absent the whole time. Even with use of translation apps we didn't understand each other correctly a couple of times which results in small conflicts, so it is definitely helpful to learn some basic italian and be patient!

The gardening, organising and cleaning were satisfying. The lake is beautiful and hiking and swimming were fun. Working with Valeria was extremely difficult. Miscommunications from the language barrier led to her screaming at us. She accused me of lying about using a towel (until I showed her my travel towel as proof) and taking her food (even searched through my grocery bag)… I made an effort to connect and we shared some jokes, but her behavior was bullying and unpredictable making us all very anxious to the point of crying. She was also often late by hours, stranding us - very unreliable.

I cried too when you cut down my beautiful thyme, rosemary, and oregano plants without me asking, or when you climbed over the gate and entered the house through the second-story window, scaring the dog away, and left the gate open. What if the dogs bit you or you fell while climbing? I cried when you often left the lights on (the bills weigh heavily) or when you threw things in the living room without consulting me. And what about the blanket thrown on the stairs and the beer bottles left aroun

The experience I had at the home was unforgettable. The peace and tranquility one finds is a truly valuable experience. The work was not unbearable or futile and being able to contribute upkeep to such a beautiful place makes all the time spent relaxing even more valuable. Francesco and Valeria were wonderful hosts who ensured me and my colleagues felt welcome and cared for. I couldn't recommend this experience enough.

If you like nature you will love Villa Capparrella, Francesco's family is respectful and very nice, willing to solve problems and ask about your interests, I had a wonderful summer in this place and Yethro is a very friendly and fun doggie .
