I had a great time in Gavorrano! I enjoyed the farm, the tasks were pretty simple and Lorenzo made sure I wasn'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!

Durante mi estancia, las instalaciones estuvieron en excelente estado y el trabajo fue muy tranquilo. Agradezco a Lorenzo por ser amable, cumplir lo acordado y compartir sus conocimientos en jardinería, música y recorridos por Gavorrano; fue una experiencia de aprendizaje muy valiosa. ​No obstante, el último día me manifestó un interés romántico, lo cual consideré inapropiado. Aunque valoro su hospitalidad, considero importante recordar que esta es una plataforma de intercambio y voluntariado, no un espacio para buscar citas.

Ringraziamo la Signora Sanchez per il suo commento. Tuttavia riteniamo che non rappresenti la realtà del nostro podere, dove da anni accogliamo volontari da molti Paesi nel segno del rispetto, della collaborazione e della gentilezza amorevole. Insegna il Buddha: “Come una madre protegge suo figlio, così si coltivi un cuore sconfinato verso tutti gli esseri.” Continueremo dunque ad accogliere le persone con serenità, gratitudine e spirito di condivisione, valori che da sempre ci caratterizzano.
