The entire experience was amazing, from the moment I arrived until I left. They are a wonderful family and exceptional people; I learned a lot from them. Being there made me reflect on the value of life's true essentials, like family and being surrounded by love. We created a beautiful vegetable garden together, seeing it finished made me proud. I was treated with great care, always feeling comfortable and welcome. Every meal was spectacular, Fabrizio is an incredible cook! They arranged a great place for me to stay. I'm very grateful to Amber and Fabrizio and will carry these memories forever

Volunteering at the host was an unforgettable, heartwarming, and life-changing experience. Fabi and Amber are generous, wise, and incredibly welcoming hosts. I enjoyed every single task we did, especially working in the garden while listening to music, surrounded by beautiful nature and their lovely children. Everything we agreed upon was fully respected, and Fabrizio prepared the most delicious meals I had in all of Italy. I felt safe, appreciated, and truly at home. I would return without hesitation and highly recommend this magical place to anyone.

I had such a great work exchange experience staying with Fabrizio and Amber! They immediately welcomed me and my friend I was traveling with into their home. Their property was absolutely beautiful! We did our work tasks in the morning and the afternoon, taking a break for a nice lunch with the family and some amazing homemade food! Had some time to ourselves before dinner before another amazing meal!! It was great to connect with them and learn about different cultures. They were so kind and friendly. For our work tasks we painted a couple rooms and sanded the outside of a building.

I had a great experience at this work exchange. Amber and Fabi were great and welcomed us into our home. The property was beautiful and it was great to be able to relax in the afternoons in such a nice location. Amber and Fabi cooked us some great meals during the stay. Their family is was very kind to us and their kids are the cutest children ever, we had a great time playing with them both. Overall, I would recommend this experience!
