Babysitting our 5 yo boy in Lucca, Tuscany!

This family was so friendly and I loved babysitting Lupo over the 4 weeks of my stay. He's a very sweet boy. The city of Lucca is absolutely beautiful and has so many great things to do and eat, I definitely recommend this experience. I met some really cool people and am definitely going back to visit the city some day. It was lots of fun playing water games with Lupo and telling him stories and cooking with him, if you love kids and can handle the occasional argument (which every kid has) then this is for you. So grateful I got to experience this! Eleonora and Marco are phenomenal parents.

My stay with Eleonora, Marco and their amazing little boy Lupo was an experience I'll cherish forever.. this was my first Worldpackers experience and Marco and Eleonora didn't hesitate to welcome me into their family. Their kindness and generosity made me feel right at home. I cannot recommend this experience more! I am so grateful having gotten to spend 4 unforgettable weeks getting to know and build a friendship with their wonderful boy Lupo all while exploring their beautiful city Lucca and the surrounding cities. 4 weeks wasn't nearly enough time to have spent with these great people!

I can only recommend staying at the farm! I helped in the kitchen with another girl - the work is easy and everything is well explained. You're preparing the food for the guest, which is an easy work. The atmosphere while working is also really nice. You are in the kitchen with Marco, so you always have someone to chat with. Unfortunately I had to leave earlier than expected due to health problems. Eleonora and Marco were super understanding and it was no problem at all. In general, they are really kind and great people! You'll also meet other lovely travellers who'll you live with :)

I spent 2 months staying with Marco & Eleonora watching their wonderfully rambunctious son Lupo. They were super accommodating , making sure I had a living space that was comfortable with everything necessary. They went above and beyond to make sure we could get to the train and had exciting plans on our days off. They'll treat you as part of the family, taking you down to town or for a gelato all while cracking jokes. Lupo as a 4.5 year old has tons of energy which makes every moment exciting and keeps you on your toes. Although a handful, lupo is still the sweetest. Highly recommend this!

This was my first worldpackers experience and i couldnt've asked for a better one. I felt really welcome when i arrived, the place and people i've met are fantastic. The farm is unbeliveble and a wonderful place to work, surrounded with such a warm hardworking and good team. Eleonora and Marco are the best hosts you can ask for. They treat you with respect, are warm, kind, funny and did everything they could to make sure our days off were as good as our days working. I really reccomend this experience to everyone who wants to make a small town in the hills a piece of their heart.

My first experience with Worldpackers couldn't have been better than the farm! Eleonora and Marco are wonderful hosts and treated me and the other volunteers like family. They are kind, hilarious, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and travel plans on our days off. The farm property is so stunning that working in the kitchen felt like a reward. I always enjoyed going to work to spend more time with the hosts and help create the amazing atmosphere they provide to their guests. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for an immersive cultural experience!

I had a wonderful first experience with Eleonora and Marco as hosts! They have been very kind, helped as much as they could and made me feel like one of the family! The location is incredible, 20 minutes by car from town but I didn't find it to be a big problem at all. I spent five weeks with their son Lupo, an absolutely fantastic boy with a loot of energy, I will definitely come back and visit as soon as I have the opportunity!

Mi primera experiencia de World Packers y puedo decir que no cambiaría nada de ello! Eleonora y Marco tenían muy buenos detalles conmigo y con el resto de voluntarias. Como nanny de Lupo, muy bien, algunos días trabajé muchas horas, pero es cierto que se compensaba con los días libres después por lo tanto no tengo queja. Matraia es un pueblo preciosisimo, ubicado en medio de la montaña, rodeado de naturaleza para los que les gusta es un sitio increíble. Con muchas rutas para poder hacer, buen ambiente Lo único negativo, es el transporte público que te lleva a la ciudad. Solo es porla mañana

Here is what to expect working in the restaurant at the farm: chopping fruit&veg, making charcuterie boards, doing dishes, & breaking down the patio area. As for the accommodation: you are in an apartment with 7 other volunteers- 2 per room, no air conditioning or fans, and not in the town of Lucca (in Matraia). Many of us found it difficult to find things to do on our days off because we were so far out of town. My favorite part of the exchange was all the girls I lived with :)

This experience was a rollercoaster of emotions! The work at the farm can be stressful, but Marco was always willing to help and answer my questions. Nevertheless I expected more from the apartment: we had stained mattresses, bugs and hives all over the place, no hot water for days. I even didn't have a bed for some nights since the hosts gave it to a new volunteer cause they hired more people than they could accommodate. U have to buy your own groceries if u wanna eat properly. Buses are very limited on the summer. The good part is all the amazing people i met and ofc the incredible views!
