Gill has worked hard to create a beautiful home/property and it was amazing to be able to spend time here and contribute to this special place. Gill is a very kind, patient, fun, and respectful person who is always willing to share his knowledge. The animals are gorgeous and well-loved. My tasks were always interesting and varied, and my agreed hours were always respected. If you enjoy nature, have a positive attitude and don't mind some hard work, and are interested in self-sustainable living, you will love this stay. I cannot recommend it highly enough 😊

It was an incredible experience! Gill is a kind and hospitable host, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. Some task require more physical work than other but it is very broad you will do many different things during your stay. I learned a great deal about sustainable living and zero-waste practices. Gill's commitment to eco-friendly farming techniques and a sustainable lifestyle was truly inspiring. The farm itself is a bit isolated, but you can explore cities like Florence or Rome in 1 or 3 hours. I recommend this experience to anyone, is amazing.

Volunteering on the farm was great:) I got to learn a lot about sustainable/natural living and got to contribute to it through my work. We always had the best and most fresh food. Gill was a great host and was very very hospitable making his home very welcoming. The work was reasonable but I enjoy working outside with my hands so it's probably different for everyone. I'd say the only downfall about it is that the location is very remote, so if you're not able to slow down and just be in nature with not much else, then this experience probably isn't for you. Overall a great/learning experience!

My time at Gill's farm was wonderful and I wish I stayed longer. Gill is a fun and motivated young person that is very invested in his project and has created a beautiful place that keeps flourishing under his care. He taught me so much about his life at the farm, restoring the house, taking care of the garden and the animals and leading a sustainable life. The farm is located in the most beautiful spot overlooking the Tuscan hills and the lake, so I enjoyed some unforgettable sunsets. The work is quite physically demanding but enjoyable. Can't wait to visit Gill and the farm again soon.
