Italian cooking lessons

The overall experience was great. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The work was fun and lots of nature. Would be much easier if I knew Italian though. If you are a sensitive person, I would not recommend coming here. Luisa is REALLY intense sometimes. She creates a stressful environment and if you are not used to people like that it might not be fun. She will shout at you in Italian and expect you to drop what you're doing to help her. Don't always expect punctuality, like we'd be told to start working at 6 but couldn't start before 7 because no one was awake to tell us what to do.

Overall, we loved our experience at the project. We learnt a lot, ate great food and lived in a stunning part of Italy. Alessio (who lived on the farm) is very generous and knowledgeable and Andrea (Alessio's Brother) & his family were very friendly and kind. They also stick to what was stated on worldpackers. The only downsides were: the tent for belongings, was crowded and things got slightly cold and damp due to condensation (we did experience more rain than usual) Louisa (Alessio's Mother) who did our laundry, created a stressful environment and made us feel very unwelcome.

I spent a month here as it was becoming summer so for about 2 weeks it was just rain but the 2 weeks that we could work were nice! It was a different job almost everyday so we never knew what the day had in store for us, what I did was mulching, harvesting nettles and some odd jobs. The food is delicious and the views are beautiful. Luisa (Andreas mom) made some amazing dishes but when she was at the house she expected you to clean everything a certain way and overall made me feel uncomfortable in the house, it obviously didn't help that she only spoke Italian😅 an unforgettable experience!💗

This experience has been very special for me and I am grateful for the time that I got to call this place my home. Beautiful landscapes, loving people and delicious food. I had a lot of fun with the tasks I was given, and I learned a lot during my time here that I will carry with me. Deep thanks to this family and the other volunteers for creating these precious memories with me!

The activities were pick up plants and fruits, mushrooms, wood in the Forest, take Care of cats, learn to prepare real food, help with tasks in home and........ The Magic of transformation!!!!! Thank you so much for open your house for me.... I Will not forget This beautiful moment.

My time on this farm was nothing short of incredible. I immediately felt welcomed by Andrea, Alessio and the rest of their family. The other volunteers were all super lovely and we got along really well. If you enjoy beautiful landscapes, beautiful food and beautiful people you will love it hear. A three week trip I will not forget. Thank you to my Italian family ❤️ also it's a great place to learn some Italian if you don't already know any ;))

Nos gustó mucho la experiencia. En especial aprender de la pasta “all'uovo”, totalmente la recomendaría vivir esta experiencia por lo menos una vez en la vida. Los anfitriones se esfuerzan en lo que hacen, muy inteligentes, y MayBritt es muy amable y de buen corazón. Solo tomaría en cuenta, para los que viajan desde Milano, verificar el horario del bus 44, y hacer buenos cálculos, porque nos hubiera gustado pasar más tiempo, pero nos tomó más o menos un día en llegar por los cambios inesperados en los horarios por vacaciones de verano de buses y trenes.

Tuve una muy linda primer experiencia de voluntariado en el proyeto! En el tiempo que estuve fui la única voluntaria y el clima no fue el mejor, pero aun asi pase lindos días. El lugar es hermoso y los anfitriones te dan un lugarcito en su hermosa familia. Ellos saben mucho de permacultura y llevan muchos años con el proyecto, por lo que recomendadisimo si queres aprender de esto, ademas de cocinar, italiano, estar con la naturaleza, tener un lindo intercambio cultural y filosofar.

Una muy buena experiencia en la que puedes aprender muchas nuevas cosas mientras conoces más sobre la cultura, 10/10 el host y las personas que viven ahi , siempre te hacen sentir en confianza. Si no te importa dormir en una casa de campaña recomiendo mucho esta oportunidad
