I had a great time staying at the farm. The host and other staff members were very welcoming and easy to make friends with. The small town and community they've created is what really shaped the experience for me. It's rural, simple living. The nearest "big" towns and beach are a short bus ride away. I would recommend to anyone looking to slow down, disconnect, and wants a real change of pace.

We went to the farm together with my friend and it was our first experience with Worldpackers. We have met amazing volunteers here and we enjoyed the time so much! The accomodation was OK, but it wouldn't be bad to improve some things. For example the shower had broken door and it wasn't possible to really control temperature of water. Also the water from tap wasn't drinkable and tournedned off at night. We worked at the fields for 5 hours a day and get breakfast and dinner as agreed. Unfortunately we didn't always feel good around some employees and we had few arguments about work with them

Individualy everyone is great, caring, hardworking and knowledgeable. Eve and Carol is always there to answer any questions and resolve any problem the volunteer may have. I personally had a great experience with agriculture and the restaurant,if you're use to the tough love and hustle of a restaurant this is just another day but for others it could be too much. They're biggest problem is communication and that fact that they all tolerate each other with some animosity mixed in and it creates a bipolar admesphes that could get uncomfortable for some. Other than that the experience was good😊

We felt welcomed from the very beginning by the farm team. We're taking away great memories and great friends, and we're especially grateful to Matias, Eli, and Max. If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture, meet new people in a typical setting of Southern Italy, this is your opportunity! Plus, from Borgia, you can easily visit other towns or cities because everything is quite well-connected. The work itself is exactly as described, and the benefits were as agreed upon. We hope to come back someday!

A love full community held in a small town in south Italy. Felt like home from moment zero. the farm team works as a family, welcoming new members with arms wide open. Always showed openness to hearing opinions, willing to support, and eager to share experience. Flexible work-schedule, comfortable accommodation and great space for practicing Italian and Spanish. Locate in a small, slow paced town in Calabria, great for enjoying pace and tranquility.

I had a wonderful stay at the farm! For me, it was my first experience with Worldpackers, and it couldn't have been better. The family at the farm was so kind and welcoming that it felt like a second home to me. The house and the farm are located in a small town where everyone knows each other, surrounded by beautiful nature. If you're looking for a quiet, remote place, the farm is perfect for you. The tasks were so much fun bc I could choose what I wanted to work on, which I loved! There's a great mix of creative and hands-on projects, so you get to da bit of everything.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Elena as our first volunteer, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly kind, has a big heart, is always responsible, and genuinely wanted to help improve the place. Her presence was a true contribution, and I would highly recommend her without hesitation. Thank you, Elena, for this wonderful experience!

It was a wonderful experience for my first volunteering opportunity. The truth is that the good atmosphere was thanks to all the volunteers; an incredible team was formed. Suddenly there were a few details that were discussed on the spot and resolved. But I am very happy and grateful to everyone.

This was my first volunteering experience and I think it was a great one to start with. I chose it to disconnect from my daily routine, which is usually quite intense, and Borgia was the perfect place: a small, quiet, and authentic town where I could get to know the local Italian culture. Also, there are amazing beaches very close by. Evelyn, Eli, and Max welcomed me with a lot of warmth, as did the staff and the other volunteers. Although I signed up to paint the house, I ended up working in the garden, an activity in which I learned a lot. I would have liked to know it from the start to bring clothes to

I went with my friend to do volunteering together; from the start they welcomed us very warmly and treated us very kindly. It is one of the best experiences I have had; I met people, learned a bit about the culture, and living with Evelyn and Max was incredible, such lovely people.

It was my second volunteering experience at the farm and again I had a good experience and I felt very well received from the first moment. It was an enriching experience both for the work done and for the opportunity to meet people, places, nearby beaches, and to share very pleasant moments with the guys from the staff and the volunteers. Thank you Eve, Maxi and Eli for receiving me.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
