Christina, Samuel and little Salina are amazing people and a beautiful family! Very kind, funny and welcoming. I had a great time at the farm with then. The hours of work and tasks are very clear and respected, the accommodations are beautiful and confortable and the farm is very peaceful. Thank you so much for having me :)

Incredible experience! Sam and Christina are fantastic. The work was varied. I was responsible for the animals' well-being every day, we took care of the vegetable garden as a team, did general cleaning, and some renovation work. Volunteering is always rewarding when there is synergy and especially a personal connection between everyone, and that's exactly what happened. There were days when we worked less and days when we worked more. Even so, I managed to balance it with my remote work during my free hours. On my days off, I was able to travel and visit places in Sicily. I'll be back.

Our experience at the farm was amazing. We worked in the vegetable garden, cleaning and harvesting fruits, vegetables, and greens, and we watered the flowers and trees, which are truly a highlight of the farm. We also did some cleaning and organizing, as well as a bit of repair and construction work. We took care of the animals (chickens, ducks, and two sheep), cleaning their area and feeding them. The tasks are very simple, and everything is very flexible. Sam, Christina, and Salina were wonderful — such kind and lovely people! We left already wanting to come back. Thank you for everything.

It was a great volunteer experience, very peaceful and beautiful environment, Sam and Chris would take us to the town to visit the market every week, communicate with us every day about daily routine, make sure everyone is ok, Sam's cooking is excellent! I miss the time we spent together!

What a great (too short) time at the farm!! The work is really diverse, I learnt a lot and enjoyed it. The place has an incredible view on mountains and the sea, and Sam (what a cooker!!) and Chris are really lovely people, I'll miss this place and the family so much!
