I liked my time at Corinne's and Tommi's place and had a good time. They live in quite a rustic way which you need to like but it's fine for the days staying there. It's a beautiful place with wonderful views. The tasks could be quite hard & exhausting, but you can take many breaks and Tomi is quite flexible abt it. I did not feel the 5€ per day were really worth it, as they could have shopped for food more often and that should be covered by the worth of the work we did. All in all a nice experience!

Lived Tommaso he and his family were so lovely and welcoming. Stayed for a couple weeks, met amazing people not just locals but other international travellers. Wake up early, few hours work, the time the sun got over the mountain you were done and had the rest of the day to do anything. Only issue was near the end of stay, we were sent to help with processing apple's to make apple juice, we were just used for all the tasks they didn't want to do and no communication other then negatives, staying much longer usually 9am - 7pm. Had a wheelbarrow full of 🍎 fall ontop me multiple times. no help

I couldn't recommend the volunteer experience more. If you want to slow down and immerse yourself in Italian culture this is perfect. Lots of fresh veggies and lovely food. Thank you Thomaso and Corine, the stay was incredible.

Tommaso and Corinne are such wonderful people and I learned and laughed with them. they were very caring and made accomodations for me after The Incident. If you come in August you will meet a hunky man named Andrea who will show up when you want to go to bed but you will enjoy it. I came into this experience expecting to spend most of my days alone but instead I was met so many people and had so much fun. We spend every waking hour with each other and it made me realize that volunteering and meeting people (both local and international) are not mutually exclusive

Tomasso and Corinne are good people with big hearts. They are creating the farm for their family - growing their own food, medicinal plants, goats, chickens. They have a lot of friends who come visit, spend time together, play live music, cook delicious traditional italian food. Tommaso has great knowledge on wild plants and ecosystem. Working hours are very flexible. Work is demanding but rewarding. I have learned a lot and spent amazing time in Bagnole. Everyone made me feel part of the family. I miss you all already and hope to see you again soon xxx
