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!

You made us crying Alex!!!! You’re and will always be welcome here, not only as volunteers but as friends! We have to thanks Worldpackers for the opportunity of having met you and Luiza 💚 Ci vediamo presto per un altro Spritz!

This is the perfect place if you want to be closer to nature. The tasks are simple but sometimes not easy cause living at a farm requires you to da bit of everything. The volunteers have their own bedroom. The city is 10 minutes away and they can give you a ride to the train station, from where you can reach whatever place you want to enjoy your days off. The reviews are true: Maria's food is incredible. But this is only a detail when it comes to the whole experience. Maria and Federico are very welcoming and caring. Thanks for welcoming us to your family and for your friendship. A presto!!!

I don't have enough words to describe how much I loved every second of this experience. All I can say is, I'll definitely be back. They're genuinely amazing people, always giving more than they ask for. My stay was perfect: I had a spacious private area with my own bathroom, flexible schedules, and simple, quick tasks. The facilities were excellent, the surroundings peaceful and beautiful, and the internet worked well. And of course, the best Italian food I've ever had! I learned so much from them, they constantly made sure I had everything I needed and made me feel like part of the family.🤗

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to meet genuine, kind, patient people and has an eagerness to learn about agriculture + sustainability. Federico and maria were so patient with teaching all the volunteers about herbs, Italian life, and sustainability! Immediately felt so comfortable in their home and they always made an effort to communicate with me. Maria and Federico are fluent in Portuguese + Italian and have amazing stories about their travels! Do not hesitate!! This is an amazing experience!!

Marie and Fede are one amazing hosts! Very helpful, knowledgeable on their agriculture and working hard to achieve the actual climate action. That aside, their characters are wonderful, passionate, friendly and that makes you feel so much like home. I'd recommend if you wanna make a real impact or when you wanna experience beautiful life in farm. 💚

It was emotional saying goodbye to Fede and Mari. I genially now see them and the other volunteers that were present as apart of my family. I instantly felt welcomed in their home that overlooks the town of Dicomano. Both Mari and Fede work many hours and they were still able to provide delicious meals daily. The work was very engaging and nothing beats having lunch on the side of the mountain. Everyone was very happy which made the work much more enjoyable. P.S. Federico is literally a character out of a carton!!!

My experience with Fede and Marie was amazing—even better than I would have expected. They welcomed me with open arms into their home. The food was incredible, & the work was enjoyable because we did it together while learning about olives, Italian culture, & living in nature. They kindly showed us around and involved us in the market, letting us explore the town, region, & community. I 100% recommend this experience—& you'll taste the most delicious olive oil of your life, I swear! I have so much gratitude in my heart, and I will never forget my time at the project. Hope to see you guyssoon!!

I'd a great stay at the project, Federico and María Victoria were incredible hosts, very attentive to what I might need, they worried that I could have a great stay, and learn every process of their products . I'd my own space, very comfortable and with everything I needed. The work was varied, I helped them with their website and their logo, we also painted while we waited for it to stop raining to start the olive harvest. the project is beautiful, the landscape is magical. I'm very happy to have met you, thank you Federico, Maria Victoria, Agatha and Flora for opening the doors of your house

Maria and Federico were wonderful hosts, and welcomed me warmly into their home and lovely family for the week! They have a lot of knowledge they're happy to share on sustainable living and agriculture, and was great to learn about their use of herbs for both consumption, as well as the production of essential oils and skincare products. I would highly recommend volunteering with them and helping them with their exciting plans for their farms future!
