The Experience

Enjoy the uncontaminated nature in the quiet of the woods and the protection, care and privacy. 🌍🤍 There are two farmhouses, 3 yurts, a tree house, chestnut woods and pristine, intimate and private meadows. This is a place for slowing down, reconnecting, and contributing to a mindful way of living close to the earth. In general we like people who are respectful and know how to adapt.

I had such a great time here! I felt very welcome from the start and really enjoyed my stay. I came with my van and lived in it during my time here, which worked out really well. We had lots of interesting conversations and I really enjoyed helping out in the vegetable garden and with cooking. We also did some amazing trips together, which made the whole experience even more special. I'm really happy I got to spend some time here and would definitely recommend it! 😊

My stay at the Center was my first experience through Worldpackers and I could not have asked for a better exchange. Francesco is a very kind, generous, and compassionate person. Helping out here has been wonderful. This is a truly magical place. Thank you for everything.

The Center.. I highly recommend applying here if youre a traveler looking to slow down and spend time in nature away from the city. I extended my time here for another 11 days. Work for me included painting, cleaning, organizing, cooking. The food is always amazing. Francesco is a very gentle soul and this is his home so be respectful of the environment and space ❤️ If he invites you for prayer I highly suggest taking part for the experience and to learn. There is no electricity outside the main house but you can charge what you need in the volunteer bathroom!

I would recommend the Center to anyone and everyone. This experience has been so enlightening and mind altering. Francesco is more than a great host, he has been a wise teacher and a compassionate friend! I will never forget this incredible experience and I am eternally grateful! The exchange is more than helping with tasks to have a place to stay. For me this was a deeply spiritual and enlightening experience. I cant say enough positive things, because Feancesco I genuinly one of the most kind people I have ever met!
