I had to cut my trip short due to personal reasons but my time was lovley. The hosts were very welcoming and I learned so much in my short time there. The schedule is preset but the hours are very reasonable, I had the opportunity to cook for everyone which I enjoyed!

My experience with this volunteer program was very positive. The hosts were very friendly and were always willing to help with anything we needed. The place where we stayed was very clean and comfortable, which made our stay much more enjoyable. However, one thing to keep in mind is that the site is far from the village, about a 30-minute walk and the availability of bus to other places is limited, so if you plan to move around without a car, you should consider this factor. Despite this, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend it.

The hosts were really nice and welcoming, making our stay very comfortable. The tasks weren't difficult, and the schedule was quite flexible, which was great. One thing to note—not really an inconvenience, but good to know—is that they are vegetarian. The location is a bit far from town, about a 15–30 minute walk (though there are bikes available). The town itself is small with not much to do; the easiest place to visit is Cecina, but you'll need to take a bus. Despite that, we really enjoyed volunteering with Samarona and Dhara—they also have lots of great stories. Thanks!

Dhara and Samarona were great hosts. Everything was as described. Hours, work and meals. The place is nice and full of nature all around it. Sometimes Dhara led the Center meditations and that was really nice to experience. Samarona has great stories to tell when we sat down for our meals all together. I really enjoyed spending time with them and learning about their life experiences. Thank you for everything! I hope to come back someday! ✨❤️

My stay at the Center was very pleasant. I had the opportunity to share and learn from local people, practice English, be surrounded by beautiful nature in a quiet and harmonious space. Dhara and Samorana are wonderful people with a spirit of dedication and devotion to the center. I really admire the work they do and the effort they make to ensure that everything goes very well. Thanks for me part of my dream. Ana
