Volunteering at the lodge was an amazing experience. I felt safe, welcomed, and respected from the very beginning. The host is kind, communicates clearly, and makes sure you feel at home. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature and mountains, with birds singing every morning. I also had the chance to meet locals and practice Italian. It's a peaceful and inspiring place — perfect for anyone looking for a meaningful volunteer experience.

What a wonderful and unique time! ☺️ I spent six weeks in the lodge and felt very welcomed. Gaia always maked sure that we are feeling good and that we had everything we needed. Mainly my tasks were taking care of the chickens, cleaning the rooms, preparing and serving guests at breakfast time. I felt my work was very appreciated and the communication was always easy. I also had a lot of freetime to explore the tuscany landscapes and cities, wich I loved. The visits to the hot springs was one of my highlights. I have had wonderful experiences and can definitely recommend it.

My month at the lodge was truly lovely! Gaia and his family were incredibly welcoming and kind, making me feel right at home. The opportunity to spend time in the beautiful Tuscan countryside was fantastic for reconnecting with nature and enjoying the sunshine. The work was enjoyable and mostly included pruning olive trees which was such a fun job, helping with guests and other smaller tasks around the property! The flexible hours were a real plus, allowing plenty of free time to explore the charming villages in the surrounding area. I wholeheartedly recommend this Worldpackers experience!

All things considered, the experience was positive. Gaia and her family are good people who truly care about their work. However, the tasks I carried out were mainly related to cleaning and very little to nature. The working hours were intense, and at those temperatures also very tiring, given that there were only two volunteers in the whole structure. The location, though, is truly charming and relaxing. A good way to disconnect from everyday life, but in my opinion, with a few adjustments to be made.

One of the best experiences I've ever had! I loved experiencing the Tuscan countryside and farm life at the lodge. It was a perfect chance to reconnect with nature, go offline, and appreciate the amazingness of the countryside. As my first solo trip, I couldn't recommend it more for travellers or volunteers. The host family was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, making me feel like part of their family. Tasks included tending to animals, pruning trees, and general chores. Bring work and warm clothes in winter! This unforgettable experience left me refreshed, self-aware, and grateful :)

Gaia and the whole family are very kind, understanding and wonderful. They live in such a beautiful place in connection with nature and the local culture. Me and the other volunteers stayed in a cute trailer. We mostly helped with picking olives which was so much fun and required a lot of team effort. We also helped with cleaning the rooms for guests, taking care of the chickens and general gardening. Every task was explained very well and checked when finished, I felt that my work was appreciated. Communication was easy and hours were flexible. I highly recommend this experience!

Thanks for giving me a second home and family.🥰 I had an awesome stay at the lodge, the family is really welcoming and treat you as one of them. They always there is you need anything and when I injured my feet they helped me, gave me bandages and similar to help me heal. Gaia also took us to a natural spring and offered to drive us to town nearby to explore! Gaia is really flexible with the work hours. I did a lot of different work, olive harvesting (so cool and interesting to learn everything about that), gardening, painting, cleaning, cooking, playing with Elena and Adam! 🩷

The whole the lodge family is very welcoming and kind. They were always making sure that us volunteers had everything we needed and felt comfortable. They gave us clear instructions and were patient and understanding. the lodge is in a very beautiful spot and the hosts put a lot of care and creativity into their work to maintain the property. I enjoyed my stay a lot, I learnt a couple of new skills, one among them is how to take care of ducks and chickens, which was very wholesome! the lodge is perfect for people who like to be close to nature and are ready to get inspired by it.

Gaia picked me up at the train station. From the beginning Gaia was very open, friendly and asked a lot about me. Gaia really seemed who is very happy because of a new volunteer. Gaia and his family treated me equially and I felt I know them long time ago. Gaia explained every task for me very clearfully and always gave me feedback about my finished tasks. We could talked openly about the day off and Gaia was flexible with it. If I needed something he always tried to find the best solution. Overall, there was a very good cooperation between us during my staying.
