The Experience

We wait for you in the beautiful mountains of lake como. I am Cristina, the mom of two sons. We live with 6 dogs, 7 cats, 4 goats, 6 donkeys, and we have a forest of chestnuts. Our projects are wool, herbs, chicken, build a stable, and agriturismo. We love to exchange our experiences with other people who love nature, fresh air, and a quiet slow life. We are excited to meet you.

Cristina is extremely welcoming and friendly. The area around the farm is absolutely beautiful and there are many paths to explore with the dogs. The work involved helping to make different products from the nature around - like kiwi jam, tea, and wreaths. She has lots of ideas for future projects, so the tasks will depend on when you arrive. I highly recommend - the food was amazing, the dogs and cats were very cute and the family made me feel very welcome.

I got to learn a lot about sustainability, living on a farm, and restaurant work. The animals were adorable and the sons made me feel very welcomed. We often had visitors from the area and it was nice to feel immersed in the local community. The food Cristina made was amazing. It was a fun week here with the family!

Christina and her family were amazing hosts! We were fully immersed in her beautiful the farm for the week, surrounded by mountains and farm animals. We helped her with the daily tasks needed on the farm whether that be shucking chestnuts, making soap, gathering plants from her garden, or helping out when guests arrive. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with the locals from the town and connecting with the nature. Thanks for a great week, Christina!

Christina and her family (and her lovely animals) were amazing hosts! The tasks change day to day depending on what needs to be done at the farm. Weekends are the busy days, helping with the guests that come to eat. We learned about chestnut farming, how to make soap from ash, the products Christina sells, and what it takes to run her lovely the farm! We couldn't have asked for a better first Worldpackers experience, we learned so much about northern Italian culture. Not to mention the food and surrounding nature was absolutely amazing ☺️
