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.

Had an absolutely incredible experience here! Federico, Marì and the kids are super lovely and have a beautiful place. The work was fun and we got to learn some new skills, and the food was so good!! Would love to come back here again- highly recommend for those who want to see beautiful Italian scenery and help out a great little family. Ciao Fede and Marì!

I had such a wonderful experience with Mari, Fede and Flora! They are amazing people and I felt very confortable and safe around then. They have such a big heart, a great sense of humor and we shared so many quality moments together. I'm really glad to have stayed there and was sad to go. The work is very nice! We worked at the fields collecting the flowers and in the lab, helping prepare the oils, teas, drying plants, filling bottles. I really enjoyed and highly recommended! The place is beautiful and they share amazing food with us! Thank you guys so much ❤️

I've had a great experience! enjoying nature, learning about it and about the products and the production process — fascinating! I also learned a lot about food and culture; I was able to visit other parts of Tuscany, which is beautiful! Marí and Fede are excellent hosts — always attentive, friendly, warm, and great leaders. I love being part of their projects — I already want to come back!
