This was a really cool experience and opportunity to connect with nature, in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The work picking blueberries and strawberries was very relaxing and meditative. Fabio spent a lot of time preparing us a delicious meals everyday, which felt like a big luxury. The afternoons were completely free to swim in the lake, explore the local towns, read, practise yoga, go on hikes… the locals in the closest town of Castelletto were really kind and easy to get to know. I highly recommend the experience! 😌🧡

Great experience! The farm is a peaceful place surrounded by nature with an amazing view on the lake, perfect to relax, read and daydream. The house is also very cute and cosy, with enough space for privacy.
I worked in the mornings, picking blueberries, which is a simple but pleasant task. In the afternoons i had plenty of time to go to the lake, visit the villages around or hike.
Fabio is a friendly host, and I felt respected.
I thought that sometimes the meals were a bit light ( for example just a soup for dinner), but other times Fabio cooked delicious veggie meals :)
I recommend!

This is a wonderful experience for anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. The work at the farm and blueberry farm was relaxed and enjoyable. Mornings were spent picking, followed by a shared lunch together and free evenings to explore the local town or swim at the lake. The location is ideal if you want to fully immerse yourself in nature and enjoy a peaceful mountain setting while taking time to reflect. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking a calm, authentic farm experience in Italy.

I had a wonderful experience with Fabio. The work was only in the mornings, leaving plenty of free time to relax, explore, and enjoy the beautiful lake nearby.
The food was always delicious, generous, and prepared with care. The views from the farm are absolutely stunning.
What made this experience truly special was Fabio himself. He is a kind, inspiring host whose deep conversations and insights on Buddhism made a lasting impression on me.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for nature, meaningful connections, and a peaceful environment.

It's crazy how much I've fallen for this place, Garda let me speechless. I could swim and relax in the lake every single day and there are so many amazing spots to explore around. From the farm, you can watch the sun setting behind the mountains and the view is lovely. This was my first Worldpackers experience. The work is peaceful and the food always fresh and healthy with unique recipes like the blueberry risottoooo I'm truly grateful for these calm weeks on the farm. Fabio, thank you once again for everything :)

I am so grateful for my time on the farm and with Fabio. I spent two weeks on the property, clearing my mind, awing at the beautiful scenery and eating delicious food cooked by Fabio. Out of all the volunteering I have done, this experience really stands out. The work is very relaxing and Fabio was always keen to help and teach us if there was something we weren't sure about. He's very open minded and understanding which I really appreciated while being there. My time here felt like one long meditation. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Fabio!

I spent two amazing weeks picking blueberries in the morning, eating delicious homemade meals during the day and swimming regulary in the Lake. You have to be prepared to dark humour (and dark chocolate) but I'll never forget all our little debates around the table. When you enter Fabio's home you enter a free space where you can talk about anything, we didn't agree on everything but I always felt respected and the times where it felt otherwise we just talked it out. The setting is also breathtaking (there's so many beautiful hikes !). I couldn't ask for a better first experience.

I enjoyed a lot!!👩🏼🌾🏔 I found there what I needed: connection and peace in myself & nature, but also got new friends!:) We had interesting conversations and many laughs. We communicated honestly and that's what I suggest if you go there: be open how you think and feel, if you're uncomfortable with Fabio's humour or anything, you can talk about it. Fabio wants us volunteers to have a good stay and he's open-minded. And ahhh he cooked deliciousss food!!! Thank you <3 +++ I could go down when he drove the deliveries after lunch, so I were swimming at the lake almost every day, recommend!!!🐠

This experience was absolutely wonderful and exactly what I needed! After a few crazy months it was the peace I had been looking for. Calm mornings of work which was always super satisfying, and free afternoons where you could do whatever you please even if it means doing nothing at all! Fabio was incredible and I recommend it to everyone who's looking for a haven.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I have no complaints! We spent a few hours in the mornings picking strawberries / blueberries then had the rest of the day to ourselves to explore. The lake is a 30 minute walk away and is absolutely stunning, definitely one of my favorite views of Italy. Fabio prepares a delicious lunch and dinner and is very chill and understanding. I had an amazing week here :)
