Description

Local authorities consider volunteering to be work and therefore not a permitted activity for tourists. To overcome this Mater Natura has been set up as a non-profit cultural association to promote ecological awareness through 'learning by doing'. The membership fee to join the association is €10.

The project was an incredible host and I'm grateful I got to stay there. It was a wonderful experience, Shaq, Tiziana and the animals were incredible . I learned so much about Italian cuisine and got to make dishes I never thought I could, like crepes and cakes. If you want to learn about cooking with natural ingredients, sustainability, and living in harmony with nature, this is the perfect place. Shaq was kind and helpful, taking us to nearby towns, helping with trains, and suggesting local activities. Whenever he had friends over, the farm was filled with laughter, music, and amazing food

This was my first time volunteering and it was a fantastic experience. Learning at the project taught me about sustainability and a different way of living. Shak and Tizianna were amazing hosts who offered to take us to near by towns on weekends and showed me new recipes and ways to prepare food such as making fruit leather. I got to meet amazing people and learn to care for the garden. I would definitely recommend coming here.

The project was my first Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't be happier! Shak taught us how to care for the garden, manage composting, look after the animals, and discover every step of olive harvesting, among many other skills. I'm deeply grateful for this experience. I met amazing people, learned so much about Italian culture, and felt truly connected to nature.

It was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have wished for a better place than the project. We learned so much, from gardening and harvesting olives to cooking and discovering sustainable living. I met amazing people, enjoyed delicious food, and spent time with the sweetest cats and dogs. The property is beautiful, the pool refreshing, and the rooms cozy and clean. Grateful for every moment spent there.

My stay at the project was a great introduction to volunteering and sustainability. Shak is a welcoming host with lots of stories to tell. Tiziana was helpful with all pre-arrival questions. I appreciated having my own comfortable bed- and bathroom. I especially enjoyed the communal atmosphere. We cooked and shared delicious meals together, often featuring fresh veggies from the garden. Spending free time with the other volunteers was great for community and cultural exchange, and I met the most amazing people. The animals were a big bonus, loving cuddles. I would recommend this to everyone.
