It was an incredible experience; I was able to get out of my comfort zone and learn so many new things. And let's not forget Nicola, who is an incredible host with a big heart, who is very kind and always ready to listen! I'll never forget the three weeks I spent in Manduria !! <3

I had a lovely time. For a metropolitan boy like me it was quite an experience to spend time in the countryside. The beach is near and very beautiful. I was also able to visit Lecce. Nico is a very kind person you can have good conversations with. He even took us to a village festivity and he prepares delicious food. The work was a bit tough but still alright. I would recommend staying there and bring sunscreen with you!

I was volenteering at Nico's place for a month and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! The work is flexible and changing, food was delicious and the location is simply perfect for a remote getaway and getting in contact with nature. Nico is an amazing host, incredible chef and someone you definitely want to share a chat with:). For anyone looking to escape the city rush and connect with nature's this experience will not disappoint!

My time spent @ Nicos home was so great I ended up extended my stay a week! Nico is a fantastic host with lots to teach & makes you feel at home. He introduced me to his neibor who is also lovely & into nature / good food! The recipes we swapped & chats we had will not be forgotten :) The work is hard but rewording, the room is great & the local town by bike is not to far. I would happily return & I look forward to one day. Thanks again Nico! :)

unfortunately lately I had an internet connection problem and I couldn't leave a review for Marco in the time allowed by the application. (only 15 days) I'll take the time to at least leave him a public comment :) Marco is a kind-hearted guy, very skilled and helpful, he always likes to learn new things. I hope to see him again soon! even though the worldpacker team doesn't allow me to leave a review, I give him a 5+++ for his stay in my little structure. thanks for everything Marco!!
