Nestled in the beautiful countryside, a stay here is just dreamy!Fabio&Franca are a delight. The volunteering is relaxed & flexible.In the heat, outdoor chores were balanced with time indoors. I took on the cooking & ran English lessons for Fabio, who is a motivated student. Much of my time naturally evolved into sharing stories, culture and evenings together.Fabio is wonderful company; he was so keen to show me around the local villages and we visited nearby lakes and beaches.Because he loves photography & cinema we never ran out of things to connect over. A truly unforgettable experience!

I was incredibly lucky to spend more than a week with Fabio and his mother, Franca. From day one, they made me feel genuinely welcome and took the time to teach me about the local culture, the vegetable garden, and how the B&B is run. The work schedule was always respected, and the place couldn't be more beautiful! I highly recommend volunteering here to anyone looking for a truly rewarding experience :)

Fabio and Franca are such genuine and lovely people. Their home is beautiful and I had a great time learning more about Italian culture, language, and food while volunteering here. I had an unexpected allergic reaction and they were both so kind and took great care of me. This is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, eat from the land, cook family meals, learn Italian, and more. I would highly recommend coming with a little bit of Italian language knowledge and a willingness to learn more of it so you can connect with Fabio and Franca and get the most out of this awesome + unique experience!❤️

I highly recommend staying with Fabio in his beautiful home! Living in the countryside with this family allowed me to experience a truly authentic side of Italy. We shared many home-cooked meals, built close relationships, and explored nearby towns, the mountains, and the sea together. Fabio and his mother were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. I felt extremely taken care of and they always provided me with anything I needed! This was the most personal and unique experience I could have asked for during my first time traveling with Worldpackers!

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to meet Fabio and Franca 🥹 I would not doubt coming back and spending more time with them learning to cook, practicing languages and being in the lovely nature around Marche. It was also my birthday while I was there and they made it truly special I felt very welcomed and at home. The room is very cozy and has lovely views of the countryside. Every single day there was an amazing dish to try and never ending wonderful conversations to be had with both. Grazie mille for your generosity and treating me like family see you guys soon!

Fabio & his mother were the BEST hosts! Even though there were no other guests/volunteers, I felt very safe & cared for as a solo female traveler. I had a private room, bathroom, & yummy home cooked meals! Fabio took me to try gelato & offered to take me to the beach & lake. They love sharing cultures - I made a Pakistani dish for them :) They also taught me how to make fresh pasta. Creating Tiktoks was fun, & I spent my free time reading/writing. Highly recommend this for a peaceful retreat & cultural exchange, you won't regret it! Check out the TikTok I made for them: @le_colline_di_van_gogh
