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.

We came as a couple to create social media content. The work load was perfect, it gave us a lot of time to explore the surrounding areas. The host gave me a lot of creative freedom and trusted my skills to create the best content possible which was great! The common area for the volunteers was nice, a great private room with some good showers was nice to have. It does get chilly inside in November though. Overall a truly beautiful place to be !

The place is really nice, with a splendid view and fully equipped kitchen, it's a dream of any cooking enthusiast. It's also good to visit nearby small towns in Tuscany during weekend.

The place was beautiful and the hosts generous, lots of food, access to a car, and comfort. My feelings are mixed. I expected to build my CV in social media, but it wasn't clearly communicated that work involved the hosts' personal accounts (when applying it wasn't i the listing). I was among the first to work on social media there. Communication didn't suit me, as things often changed last minute, expectations were unclear, feedback inconsistent and sometimes confusing. One message felt harsh. I left early after a job offer in Poland. I'm still grateful but it wasn't exactly what I hoped for.

I had a very good time at the farm. My goal was to learn as much as I could in a varied range of tasks and I left feeling like I could achieve that. All the employees there are really nice and I could learn a lot with all of them, Mauro on construction and Coti and Alvaro on landscaping , they are amazing people. The perks the volunteers have are good, great accommodation and food; and you also have a car on your disposal to get to know the cities around. The place is full of history and it's perfect to relax on the days off.

The farm was my first Worldpackers experience, and it truly was so wonderful. Martin is very generous with his property, food, transportation and company, and Doro and Franziska are incredible business partners, organizers and leaders. The entire project is so cool, restoring a historic part of the community and bringing new life into it is so cool. As for logistics, the accommodations are comfortable and clean, the food is plentiful and of great quality, the property is gorgeous and surrounding towns are so charming! Couldn't recommend this place more - I extended my stay, as well :)
