I had a wonderful experience at the farm estate. I was free to create what I wanted and was able to improve my video and editing skills. The location is beautiful and the people I met were wonderful. I just want to mention that it is important to be an organized person who knows how to take responsibility to avoid any conflict. Thank you very much for this experience.

The farm is one of the most breathtaking places I've spent time, from the nature, to the weather, to the history, and to the local culture. The volunteer team is a perfect size (anywhere from 3-7 volunteers), and they quickly become a lovely family. The volunteers are given a lot of freedom, and the living arrangements, though naturally old, are very pleasant. You also have a good amount of free time to enjoy the property or visit nearby towns. The work is reasonable but requires initiative and responsibility. I will remember the farm fondly, and would recommend the experience to anyone!

Martin and Vanessa are the nicest people. They really want you to have a good experience, and encourage you to check out the local culture and sights. It is a bit removed from town, but we had plenty of opportunities to go into Trequanda or Sinalunga, or even further on the days off to explore. They let you take the car when you need it. If you're looking for a peaceful experience, this is it. I was the first person to come to the farm for social media, so it was a bit of a learning experience for both of us. If you're flexible and understanding, it all goes well.
