As this was my first volunteering, it left me unforgettable memories and emotions. The land and the house are beautiful and very cozy, the warmest welcome from the family is something you wont forget, they care about everything and they make sure you feel like home🤍 also the cute little daughters Agata and Flora- they fill the house with creativeness and playful spirit, you wont get bored :D The tasks wasn't hard, depends on what season you are going. I was helping around thyme fields and house chores. (Winter time) Again, thank u, Fede and Marie! Till next time! 🤍

Fede&MariaVittoria are wonderful, fun and easygoing! Food is delicious! Mainly vegetarian. Perfect agro experience, true italian family and international atmosphere! Farm is in rural area of Dicomano, and they offer rides to the station when taking the children to and from school. There's a direct train to Florence. Tasks include harvest olives with tool, set nets, fill baskets; clean leave/weeds from the beds; plant; remove debris to prepare beds; indoor activities in the lab are to fill and label pots; prepare herbs for dry. Best tuscan countryside exp I could imagine! Go without concerns!

This world packers experience was truly amazing. The hosts Maria and Fede and their daughters were soo welcoming and friendly they made me feel like I was apart of the family. The work we were involved in was mainly cutting weeds and maintaining the plants. This was a dream come true and I can't wait to come back another time. grazie fede and Maria

I can't help but wish I could keep this gem all to myself! The breathtaking view of the landscape resembled the swells of the ocean. Our hosts, Fredi and Maria, are incredibly warm and welcoming—truly some of the nicest people I've ever met. Even though our stay was just 10 days, they feel like family! The work was straightforward and enjoyable, mostly involving cutting weeds and pruning plants. For anyone reading this, I encourage you to stop searching for other options—this is the perfect experience! It's filled with warmth, beauty, and a sense of community that you won't want to miss.
