The Ecovillagio was an incredibly pleasant place that made me feel like I was part of an Italian family. It was amazing to be fed (and be able to cook myself!) some of the most delicious homemade meals I've ever had. I deeply appreciated the trust that was placed on me to work on my own schedule and at my own time, so I would only recommend applying if you enjoy that freedom. I found it really interesting to see how the ecovillage flows by organizing tasks and having systems in place. There are some really sweet dogs and some really sweet humans too haha :) Thank you Serena and sending love <3

My experience in Anticio the eco village was amazing, since my first day, each of everyone teat to me like one more there, everyone try to teach me something about the job, maybe with the vegetable garden, or with the animals or whatever; I also tried to learn italian, which was so gratefully, specially because of Manu, which speaks Spanish, and was able to teach me a lot, and now i can tell simples phrases in italian. Gracie mille, arrivederci!!🫶

I had a fantastic time during my week at the eco village, and i feel that i truly experienced the italian life here. although i don't speak much italian, i felt the love and good energy from everyone always. the work was simple and a good time to bond with members of the community, and the meals we enjoyed together were so incredible—i'll be missing that back in america. thank you for showing me the beauty of italy, i hope to return someday :) grazie mille, ciao ciao!!!!

600c won't be enough to say all the good things about the eco village. I felt at home. I'll leave knowing that I have a family here and I will carry them in my heart forever ❤️ Everyday was a new challenge that gave me a purpose for life. I recommend this experience for everyone especially for those who speaks Italian otherwise, they'll do their best to communicate with you knowing that their life is quite busy and running an Ecovillage is a challenge by itself so it's also a fulltime experience where you'll immerse yourself so you can get along with their energy. I wish you the best, Sarah ❤️

I had a great stay at the ecovillage. I met some very nice, funny people and we were able to speak a little English and a little Italian. The place is in the middle of the mountains, which is very relaxing, especially with the animals: dogs, goats, cats... Thank you for the experience :)

My experience was OK, I honestly wouldn't recommend it if you don't speak italian as you won't be able to communicate with most of the people living there. Also there wasn't much organization at all and the tasks were all over the placeas well as the times. I have to say that the place is really pretty and great for connecting with nature. Also even though I didn't get to know a lot about them the people there were really nice and welcoming.

other people who didn't speak Italian have been here but we have established a great relationship with each one.
I would recommend you to at least try to talk to someone in the future. We have very precise weekly work tables, but we don't like need to ask for help, usually the help is offered to us.
when you were assigned an afternoon task, we had to wake u up at 6:30 pm.. it is really unpleasant for us. But you are young and nice, we are sure that with experience u will do better! Good luck!

This was my first Worldpackers's experience and it couldn't have been better! Serena and her big family at the Ecovillage treated me as a part of the family since day one, always making me feel at home and teaching me new things. I learned so much about nature, animals, living a sustainable life and it really opened my eyes on the value human connection has over so many unnecessary things society has convinced us make our lives better. At the “the eco village” they live freely, they share everything, community is the hub of their lives, and I'm so grateful I got a chance to be a part of it :)

Staying at the eco village was a wonderful experience. being in contact with nature all day makes you feel at peace with the universe. Serena and her large family are committed daily to a project for environmental sustainability and complete self-production, a beautiful and courageous mission nowadays. it was nice to be with them, I learned a lot and they made me feel at home. go and enjoy nature, the animals, the vegetable garden, and above all their tuesdays!

Io e la mia amica siamo state molto contente dell'esperienza all'the eco village. Abbiamo appreso come vivere in maniera più sostenibile e imparato molte cose che non sapevamo. Inoltre abbiamo avuto l'opportunità di stringere dei veri legami con le persone che ci vivono, condividendo esperienze e divertendoci insieme. L'organizzazione era buona e non ci sono mai stati dati dei lavori che non fossero alla nostra portata. È un ambiente che ti prende dentro e da cui non vorresti più andare via, consiglio quindi moltissimo a chiunque un'esperienza qua!
