The Experience

Ibbaluna è una porzione di Natura con uliveti, frutteti, carrubeti, melograni, gelsi, cipressi, pini, prati e tante altre piante che abitano questo piccolo paradiso. C'è sempre qualcosa da fare: curare gli orti e i giardini, raccogliere i frutti quando è il tempo, governare il pollaio, prendersi cura degli animali, fare la manutenzione e costruzione di spazi e oggetti utili con materiali di riciclo, e tanto altro. Qui apprendiamo divertendoci :)

It's hard to find the words to express how impactful my experience at the reserve was. The energy at the reserve was magical and allowed me to learn so much about myself as well as how to work closely with others in a team. With Stefania, along with the other volunteers, we created a beautiful community that I will cherish forever. the reserve quickly became a home to me. Grazie, Stefania 💕

My volunteering experience here was perfect. I spent time with other volunteers and Stefania in a beautiful house and garden, and it brought me so much mental and emotional healing. Working barefoot in the garden made me feel connected with nature, and it was wonderful. It was truly amazing — almost like a dream — to see how we, a group made up entirely of women, could build a house together. Stefania's dance classes were beyond words — absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a break from their busy life and wants to share warm and meaningful memories.

My stay at Stefania's, at the reserve, was more impactful on my very being than I could have ever anticipated. I came expecting to be just appreciated hands for work. And that I was-I got to work on projects that helped the space and made me learn plenty. But more importantly-I grew so much as a person from the community we've built with other volunteers as well. All the shared meals, the tasks done together, conversations both enlightened and silly- will impact me forevermore. With Stefania as our soul-guide, the garden as our friend - I will forever consider the reserve my home. Grazie di cuore❤☀️

My stay with Stefania at her farm was my first WorldPackers assignment and it could not have been a better introduction to the life of volunteer travel. Stefania is a super kind & loving being and the accommodations are cozy. I loved the colorful & whimsical decor of her home. The farm was lovely and the work was varied but well explained. I loved meeting the other two volunteers and even made a friendship. If you have the opportunity for this assignment, take it! I hope to return someday ❤️
