Pantaleo
Our land is located in a beautiful place in the south of Italy. We are surrounded by nature and we are really connect to it. If you are looking for a really peaceful spot, but are also willing to learn more about how to work with the nature, this is your place!
We have a lot of tasks to do, but we always do it with a lot of love and respect for the nature and what is provided to us. We expect the volunteers to really help us with the various tasks we have, but we also want to connect with them and that they can enjoy and appreciate our beautiful place!

About the experience in: Province of Catanzaro, Italy

The only thing better than going to Isca to work with Iris once, is going there twice!! Once again, an absolutely amazing experience, all of the people you meet are lovely, the surrounds are beautiful, the work is varied and although it’s sometimes physical, it is always enjoyable and very rewarding. Iris welcomed me back like family, and I hope that one day I will return again (if I could stay forever, I would!!). Thank you Iris and Isca <333

I had the most wonderful time here in Isca. The location is beautiful and allows time to disconnect, enjoy nature, and also have fun. Iris is hard working, fun- loving, very kind, and is always sharing anything she has to offer. Be prepared because the work is physical at times but still quite enjoyable, and Iris would often work along side us. This was my first world-packers experience, and i would recommend it to anyone as long as you’re willing to work and you have a good attitude.

The problem to me was that I was the only male so I had to do the hard stuff like cleaning chicken house from poop, lifting things, i liked the experience at first but after some days i started to have back pain and I also didnt like the rest of the day (there is not much stuff to do in the place, and we were just 2 worldpackers, maybe if we were 3 or 4 it would have been better). Not a bad experience if you want to stay away from city and comfort but for me 2 weeks were to much (i got away after 1)

Isca and the surrounding area is so beautiful. I enjoyed the tasks, watering plants, picking fruits or cleaning rental B&B’s. The work hours were good and we always had breaks in the heat.
Iris is an amazing host, really caring and made us laugh. She involved us in her plans of the beach, the market or even nearby village festivals.
Our accommodation is not pictured, an old house with no electricity which was sometimes a challenge but allowed us to disconnect and enjoy the nature. The water supply was unreliable so sometimes had to rely on the river. I loved how much time we spent outside:)

Staying in Isca was an incredible experience and one I will never forget!
Iris was a fantastic host who is super friendly and takes great care of her volunteers.
Whilst the accommodation was not the pictures shown in the advertisement, it was a lovely property and allowed myself to connect with nature, improve my own cooking skills and relax. The only issue being an unreliable water source, meaning having to use the river to bathe and drink from.
The work was physical and at times was extremely hard due to the high temperatures and sun exposure. But it is great for getting you fit !!
