My stay at La the community was such a wonderful experience. Andrea is a genuinely warm and kind person, with a great sense of humor, a talent for cooking, and a real desire to make sure you feel comfortable and have a good time. He took me around the local towns, bars, festivals, and beautiful places, giving me the chance to experience and appreciate the beauty of Tuscany in a really authentic way. The work itself was very chill and never felt overwhelming. I'm really grateful for the time I spent there and would happily experience it all over again if I have the chance!

Andreas was a fantastic host! My friend and I felt very welcome in his home. He took us into town every night, and we got to taste some amazing wines and chase beautiful sunsets. Montepulciano is such a beautiful historic town and we were so grateful to have Andreas to show us around and tell us some of the history. The work everyday was easy and fairly straightforward. We worked in the garden a little bit, but it was very hot during our stay so we also did some chores around the house to stay out of the heat. I would highly recommend this stay to everyone and I hope you enjoy as we did!

My first Worldpackers experience at La the community was wonderful, and I can safely say that I wish I had stayed longer. Andreas was a great host from start to finish. Communication was easy from the beginning, and the tasks for each day were clearly defined allowing flexibility, which made the experience even more comfortable. Besides the work, Andreas introduced me to an authentic local experience, sharing the beauty of the region. I left Montepulciano with a sense of calm and a new friend. I can't wait to see how Andreas's projects will make La the community an even cosier place. Grazie per tutto! 🤗

This was my first homestay volunteering experience and I can’t see how it could have been better. The tasks were arranged and easy to execute. Andrea is an amazing person, has good communication, respects the schedules, and is truly open to exchanging ideas and experiences. We went to the city a few times and it was very nice, I met people, I had fun, I laughed a lot, created memories and meaningful connections. The city is great and the region is really beautiful. I feel I made a friend and I hope to see him again. I recommend the volunteering and I have no doubt that with time he will build something very (more) nice at La a comunidade (:
