It was my first volunteering experience, I found it very good, I met friendly people and the vegan food was very tasty and it is very close to some beautiful beaches.

I loved my experience at the eco village. Padma cooks amazing vegan food and Diego has a vast knowledge in permaculture and gardening. the eco village feels like home and it is also a perfect place to get in contact with nature. It is nice to practice Italian if you already know some. The work is not very hard and during my time there it was very diverse. The hosts took time to show me some of the surrounding interesting spots. It was very unique and spiritual experience.

I think this site is better suited for someone looking for a solo, spiritual experience as oppose to a group, volunteering, cultural experience. Ask lots of questions before visiting, there was a lot we were not made aware of.

This project is good to learn about being sustainable but it's very spiritual so not recommended if you have trauma. Also the laundry is solar and since we were there when it was raining/cloudy didn't get to clean our clothes. No soap either for washing dishes or hands after bathroom/ we had to ask for toilet paper so hygiene issues were constant. There was a bidet but the water pressure wasn't there so it was extremely hard to use. Food wise as said no meat but what was surprising was no dairy as well and no pasta. Also they picked the olives beforehand so we didn't get to do that.

Overall just not as advertised. Issues with hygiene, sleeping arrangements and overall structure made this experience tough to enjoy. Better suited for individuals who are already committed to this lifestyle.
