What a wonderful time I had in this beautiful farm! Maria and Federico are passionate about what they do and generous in sharing their knowledge about farming! The area itself is stunning but even more so because of how they have cultivated and flourished the land! The work and working hours are varied each day and can go from harvesting, deleafing, working in the lab, cleaning, and other errands. If you enjoy working with your hands and being immersed in nature, this experience is for you! The room for volunteers is spacious and Maria's cooking is unmatched. Grazie, Maria and Federico!

I had a great time in Federico and Marias farm, they are amazing people, and im forever thankful for receiving me in their home. I got to do various task such us harvesting, planting tomatoes, deleafing, working in the lab and helping with the house. In the little time I spent i got to learn a bit about how to differentiate plants, italian cuisine and the use you can give to plants. By the way Marias food is the best, even the most simple food she adds different herbs and it tastes freaking good. Thank you Maria, Ferici, Agatha, Flora and their lovely cats and dogs. Definitely recommend.

We had such an amazing time with Maria, Federico and their lovely girls. They welcomed us into their home and treated us with a great deal of care and respect.

This was truly the most incredible experience!! Maria and Federico have the most beautiful little family and the loveliest, cosiest home. Everyone we encountered was so welcoming and friendly, it was a pleasure spending time with them all. The work on the farm was interesting and rewarding, they took the time to let us know the process and allow us to learn all about their products, and how and why they do what they do. The room we stayed in itself was spacious and clean:) Couldn't recommend enough and we would love to go back in the future!

I cannot easily describe how great our stay at the project Mirtillo was. Federico and Maria were adorable, generous, and very friendly. To put it simply, the kind of people I'd love to be friends with and have nearby in my life. I left with the feeling of wanting to come back, see them again, and marvel at the success of their farm and projects. They do everything with contagious passion. They taught us many things, from plants, harvesting, to Italian food and culture. Federico, Maria, Agata, Flora, Castanha, Popone, Minu, Coco, Tripa, Buio, Betty: thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
