What can I say about Carrozzino? Without a doubt it has been the biggest farm of my life.
I arrived here to learn to speak Italian and found a second family.
The place is beautiful, with people and customers really decent.
I think that only someone who doesn't feel like working could not like it.
I would like to thank Francesca, Vincenzo, Massimo, Elisabetta, Michaela, Lina, Luna, Francesco, Manuela, Marco... in short, all of you.
You don't know how big a challenge it was for me to leave my country to learn a new language, but for all the time I was with you I felt good, thank you.

It was a very beautiful farm, with ups and downs like any true cultural exchange. I will miss everyone a lot, especially Michela, Emanuela, Belli, Massimo and the little Antonio, Gabriel and Luna. They made me feel part of the family. I would recommend it to those who want to learn Italian, stay in contact with the farm and not be afraid of working. They will make you feel at home!

They were looking for non-volunteer workers. They deceived us and kicked us out in the middle of summer without negotiating; they accused us of things that did not happen. Before arriving, an agreement was made for a maximum of 6 hours and two days off as assistant waiters with remuneration, lodging and meals; at first everything seemed more or less fine but they changed the conditions. The location was different. They informed that not all hours would be paid. They put us to wash dishes and to gather dirt dressed in white after performing the waiter service. After completing 6 hours they asked us to return to continue. They dismissed us without respect.

The dignity you speak of must be respected toward those who welcomed you; defaming is a crime, fraud is a crime. We kicked you out because you had indecent attitudes; two other hosts over the years had told me that scammers can happen on these apps, two indeed, a couple! It is not fair to deceive people or discredit them just because they did not let you eat for free for two months; in return you washed a plate from lunch and for you it was even work!

What a disaster, they didn't fulfill anything of what we agreed. They made us work on the first day for more than 6 hours and demanded that we work at least 3 more hours at night. No extra payments. And when we said no to the night shift, they got upset.
Language was a problem: the description said Italian initially and they kicked us out on the first day because we didn't speak Italian fluently. They didn't fulfill any of the promises. Only one day of volunteering and they kicked us out without further explanation. And to top it off we had to endure them shouting in our faces. Totally a disaster. These people want slaves, not volunteers. This platform no
