Seaside house in Noli, with big garden

Argentina

I'm grateful for the opportunity! ❤️🥰Eliana is a kind host, always interacting with volunteers and making us feel welcome, inviting us to dinners and trying to help us in any way she can. The house and Noli are beautiful! It was just during work hours when I sometimes felt uncomfortable with the way we were asked to do things — I felt an authoritarian tone or lacking in appreciation for our efforts. I understand running a place is stressful, But I say this to try to collaborate for better communication, change something for the next time and for future volunteers to be patient and know it.

Hi Nerina, Thanks for explain this. I think sometimes is due as we speak in english and is not my first language. The use of words may look harder and moreover is also my luck of vocabulary. So I hope you understand that I respect and love my volunteer and as you said (thanks) try to help as much as I can .. but luck of vocabulary can make hard to explain.

I enjoyed my experience at the farm so much! I loved Eliana so much and made you feel at home. The work was tough and very physical so be prepared for that. But I loved my whole time here

Eliana is a wonderful host, she makes you feel right at home from the moment you meet her, and there was never a dull moment. She respects the agreed upon time commitments very well, and communicates any changes in the work schedule with the volunteers regularly. She takes you in like family and, if you are willing, will introduce you to locals and take you to events in town. I never felt pressured to do anything I didn't want to, and had a wonderful time exploring Noli in my free time. The work is very fair and very rewarding, and it's a place you want to return to once visiting.

Where do I even start. My time at the farm was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Eliana is one of my most incredible people I'll ever meet, and did so much for both me personally and for all the volunteers as a whole. We enjoyed sharing stories, making pasta, tiramisu and listening to music. The work hours were always followed as agreed upon, and the work was manageable. I created so many life long memories, and made some amazing friends. I'll always hold this experience close to my heart and will definitely be back soon❤️ It really is a home away from home, a special place:)

I had a great time at the farm! It was my first volunteer experience and I felt very welcomed. Eliana is a warm and considerate host and she is also funny and a good storyteller😊 The work was tiring at times but I had a good time working along side the other volunteers. The work hours were always as agreed and Eliana made sure you could manage your tasks. Overall I would really recommend this experience and I will always look back on the good memories I made at the farm🥰

This was my first time volunteering and it couldn't have been better!! I've gained unforgettable memories and I loved every second I stayed at the farm. Eliana is the best host you could ask for; she's warm, welcoming, including, and such a great storyteller. She taught us how to make nutella and tiramisu and showed us the gems of Noli. The work has been challenging at times, but Eliana always adjusted the tasks after your abilities. I've met so many wonderful volunteers through the farm that have, together with Eliana and the small villages Noli and Spotorno, created a second home for me❤️.

I really loved my stay at “the farm”!! The hours were always as agreed upon and even though the work itself can be tiring at times it felt really rewarding and you can see the progress you're making with the house/garden!! The other volunteers were great as well and we really became a close group :) Eliana was also an amazing host, she really took care of us and is also a great storyteller. I will always remember many laughs together! The accommodation is basic but the place itself has a rustic charme and amazing sea view! I can only recommend this place and would love to come back!! :)

I had a great time at Eliana's. The house is quite simple and the work can be tiring, but it's worth it, and she really takes care of you. She showed us how to make pasta and tiramisu, and the two nearby towns are really pretty. Eliana has many interesting stories to tell and sticks to the agreed-upon times and days off. ☺️

This was my first Worldpacker experience and I'm glad I chose it. The area you live in is between two nice little towns. The work is sometimes hard but not too much and I learnt some new things. Also, Eliana is a very friendly person who really cares about you. She also has very interesting stories to tell and taught me how to make pasta, ravioli and tiramisu, which I will never forget.
