The experience with Marco was more than expected. I enjoyed many conversations that showed his passion to share the knowledge about plants, animals and environment. He was really caring to give us time to enjoy ourselves and also Firenze. The work to do was interesting and easy to do. Also we share many delicious meals made by Gian Paolo and even a grill Marco made. I'm so grateful with them and I hope I will come back some days. Thank you Cuore Verde, I had a lovely time with you!

Marco is an amazing host and I felt like home almost directly after I arrived in Firenze. The hours are very flexible and I learned so many new things about Agriculture thanks to Marco's explenations. My highlight was the food!! I learned alot aboit the Italian culture and the Italian cuisine and I will chertish those recipes forever. Thank you Marco for this amazing experience!

While my time on the farm was short, due to health reasons, I found it to be such a nice experience. Marco was so welcoming, kind, and accommodating. I struggled with the cold temperatures, especially while sleeping in the tent outside, but Marco tried his best to supply me with warmer clothes, beanies, and copious amounts of blankets. The work was typically just before lunch and I found it so cool to learn about harvesting different herbs and olives. I hope that one day I can come back and stay again/help the farm because it was truly a beautiful place to stay. Also, Jean Paulo's cooking!

The food was delicious, and the tasks were fun and varied. Marco and the other people who worked at Cuore Verde were all very kind! For your information, it takes ~35-40 minutes to get to the city center, but the buses do not run every hour. Also, Sai-sai is a little scary if you're afraid of dogs, but she's very nice and just young. Other than that, it was an incredible, enriching experience that I highly recommend!
