I had a great time in Gavorrano! I enjoyed the farm, the tasks were pretty simple and Lorenzo made sure I wasnโ€™t working in the heat during summer. He was respectful, welcoming and taught me a lot about history and Italy, he made a great pizza too! We got along really well during my stay in his house. The farm and the views are beautiful and Gavorrano is too. I left very happy and definitely would like to go back if I get the chance!

During my stay, the facilities were in excellent condition and the work was very calm. I thank Lorenzo for being kind, for keeping to what was agreed and for sharing his knowledge in gardening, music, and tours around Gavorrano; it was a very valuable learning experience.
On the last day, he expressed a romantic interest, which I found inappropriate. While I value his hospitality, I think it's important to remember that this is an exchange and volunteering platform, not a place to look for dates.

Lorenzo replied

We thank Mrs. Sanchez for her comment. However, we believe it does not reflect the reality of our estate, where for years we have welcomed volunteers from many countries in the spirit of respect, collaboration, and loving-kindness. The Buddha teaches: 'As a mother protects her child, so one should cultivate a boundless heart toward all beings.' We will therefore continue to welcome people with serenity, gratitude, and a spirit of sharing, values that have always characterized us.
