Seaside house in Noli, with big garden

Canada

This experience was great especially for the beautiful towns of Noli and Spotorno and the friendships we made with the other volunteers. The work was quite hard since it was mostly heavy lifting and shovelling, but you are allowed to take breaks when you need to. The house of the volunteers was good, but can get easily dirty if it is not cleaned everyday since it is really crowded.

If everybody respect the turnover of cleaning the volunteer house, as schedule, the home will be keep clean.

I left earlier than agreed as I did not feel comfortable in some situations. The photos do not match the house where we stayed.

I loved my time at Elianas! She is a very interesting, smart and determined woman that you can learn a lot from. I met some amazing other volunteers there as well, there was never a boring day at this place! The work is active and fun considering Eliana allows us to give input on how to work on tasks! The area is also beautiful with an incredible view of Savona and its coastline. I highly recommend this place as volunteering project!

Eliana is really welcoming and always tries to make sure you're comfortable and having a good time. The work can be physically hard sometimes but if you can't keep up there is loads of other tasks that are not as heavy. It's a great place to learn and develop new skills and to meet volunteers from all over. The accommodation is minimal but if you're flexible it should be no problem. There is beautiful hikes and beaches around and you will never have a bad view. I absolutely enjoyed my stay here and I hope to find myself back here in the future.

I loved staying at Elianas. Her mansion is beautiful, I'd recommend watching the sunrise, the view on the ocean is spectacular! Working was also good, lots of different tasks, so it won't get boring and she really looked out for us and our safety when we were using tools in the garden for example. She is a very caring person in general and tries to include everybody staying at hers. I will definitely come back next year :)

Wonderful experience of this lovely place on the mountain with seaview near Noli! Got a deep experience of italian culture with learning to make pasta, tiramisu, pesto... Although the homepage said only provide breakfast, sometimes Eliana and Marco will provide us some tasty italian cuisine for dinner. The work sometimes would be hard but mostly interesting with building the place more pretty and tidy, removing the weeds, collecting olives and so many stuffs. There's no wifi in the dorms and sometime also no service. But except this, others are all amazing!

Staying with Eliana was my first experience with Worldpackers, and I couldn't have asked for a better one to start my journey with. She is a very kind and respectful person, that makes sure you have everything you need. Working hours are flexible and the work itself is very diverse. After work you can go down to Noli and swim or have some delicious foccacia bread and ice cream, or you go to Spotorno and hang out in a bar with your fellow volunteers and eat pizza. Nights in are always fun too, we made homemade Tiramisu and Pasta with Eliana. Thank you for everything, we had a great time!!

There is no amount of words that could accurately describe my time at the farm. This was my first volunteer experience and it was the perfect place for it. Eliana is the kindest host and made this an incredible experience. The work was reasonable and rewarding, and the connections I made with other travelers and locals is something I will never forget. This was an experience you should have a lifetime and I would recommend it for it for anyone!
