The Experience

Hi! I’m looking for help with olive harvesting and various tasks related to managing a country home. The work includes tending to the vegetable garden, looking after some chickens and a dog, and managing two small studio units listed on Airbnb. I have three children, though they don’t always require entertainment. You will have your own comfortable, independent studio, complete with a kitchenette and a wood-burning stove for heating.

Spending time with Giuseppe and working with him is a truly opening experience! He has a beautiful mind, ideas and beautiful people around him. He is really good with people, you can learn a lot from him about living your life fully. He really cares about his volunteers, welcomes them as part of his family. He loves to collaborate with people. The place is wonderful, full of opportunities and beautiful energies. I would recommend this experience for everyone whom i care for! :))

Giuseppe is a wonderful person, he cared about my stay there so much that we started arranging everything on the phone 2month earlier. He has a beautiful home and he welcomed me with warmth in it! I felt his trust in me while we worked together and he always respected my ideas and never treated me as I was under his level. This was a true cooperation and exchange of ideas and knowledge! I am so glad i got to experience this. However you have to know this is a beginning of a project and there are a lot of things and little projects to do there! I, personally enjoyed i got to be independent.
