The Experience

We'd love to invite you to be part (even if shortly) of a collective dream we are manifesting together. Our intention is to develop a project based on self-sufficiency, resiliency and alternative way of living. We like to cook, garden, bake, ferment and anything that involves transforming the matter around for the benefit of human beings in nature. You have a lot of time to chill, read, walk in nature and have fun.We got a pool, a dome, hammocks

I had a great time in the eco village, learning how to make cheese, Kéfir and other dishes and working on gardening, construction and other activities. In this magic place I met very interesting people from around the world and exchanged a lot. I totally recommend this host for anyone intending to live a meaningful experience close to the nature. Ps: I also loved to meet the local people close to David and Simone and learn from then ( I met an astrologer, natural essential oil producer, etc, etc.) I hope to comeback some day.

David and Simone are wonderful hosts who made me feel incredibly welcome and gave me the chance to experience Tuscany in a truly unique way. I absolutely loved them! Life with them was inspiring and full of unforgettable moments. They showed me and the other volunteers so many beautiful places in Arezzo, and it's clear how much they love this area. I really looooooove this guys, they are crazy and amazing. Just a small note: there was no Wi-Fi and the working hours were more continuous than expected, but it didn't take away from this amazing experience! the eco village!!!

I had a wonderful stay at the eco village. David and Simone did everything to make us truly experience life in Tuscany. Over the week, I discovered so many new things—from cooking delicious traditional Italian food, gardening, and helping around the house, to exploring an old monastery, enjoying a local comedy show (even though I didn't understand a word) and gazing at shooting stars and planets through a telescope during Ferragosto. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would love to come back again.

I had a fun experience staying at David's house, him and Simone were very welcoming and they made us feel like a part of the family. The food is so healthy and tasty! We also had day trips to the nearest town and river, they took us to meet their friends and it was very fun and interesting. Daily tasks are pretty easy, like harvesting, kitchen help and cleaning, but some days it requires more hours. There is no wifi in the house which can be an inconvience. But overall I'm really happy with my stay, I reccomend this place to anyone who loves nature, gardening and living in a community!

Thank you so much for your help we also had a positive experience with you.
For the wifi we don't have coz the internet signal is so strong with all the mobile companies (except vodafone which is also covered but a bit weak) that is not needed and in case of special high data speed is requiered we can share hotspot tethering from our devices.
Wish you good luck for all, come back anytime
