I had a fantastic time atthe farm. Francesco and Giulia are wonderful hosts. Incredibly kind, incredibly generous. The workload was reasonable, with a wide range of tasks (not always glamorous - there's a chicken coop, but that's part of the experience). Francesco is an amazing cook, and Giulia is a plant and herb expert. They have so much knowledge to share, and were patient with my limited Italian. I felt lucky to be welcomed into their home. On top of that, I got to spend the morning playing with kittens. I couldn't recommend this experience enough. 10/10.

La granjaes un lugar maravilloso. Pude aprender del cuidado de las abejas y elaboración de sirope. Giulia y Francesco son muy buenos hosts, simpáticos e interesantes, muy agradables para estar, nos reímos mucho. Está al lado de piani d'erna, un mirador increíble con una vista al lago preciosa, también se puede subir en la funivia que es un paseo en si mismo. Selma y Rapa las mascotas son adorables. El trabajo es adecuado, puede ser físicamente demandante entonces hay que estar en forma. Depende de lo que busques en el viaje puede ser algo solitario pero perfecto para desconectar de la ciudad.
