The Experience
There is always a lot of recurring and entertaining work to do around our place, so we sure need help. We can get an extra hand in restoring walls and cleaning the small houses, for example. I hope to meet people who love to stay, to help and to enjoy the nature. We live in the south of Italy and are blessed to have this beautiful place. The shifts are in the mornings, so we have the rest of the day free. No drugs, please.

The only thing better than going to Isca to work with Iris once, is going there twice!! Once again, an absolutely amazing experience, all of the people you meet are lovely, the surrounds are beautiful, the work is varied and although it's sometimes physical, it is always enjoyable and very rewarding. Iris welcomed me back like family, and I hope that one day I will return again (if I could stay forever, I would!!). Thank you Iris and Isca <333

I had the most wonderful time here in Isca. The location is beautiful and allows time to disconnect, enjoy nature, and also have fun. Iris is hard working, fun- loving, very kind, and is always sharing anything she has to offer. Be prepared because the work is physical at times but still quite enjoyable, and Iris would often work along side us. This was my first world-packers experience, and i would recommend it to anyone as long as you're willing to work and you have a good attitude.

Isca and the surrounding area is so beautiful. I enjoyed the tasks, watering plants, picking fruits or cleaning rental B&B's. The work hours were good and we always had breaks in the heat. Iris is an amazing host, really caring and made us laugh. She involved us in her plans of the beach, the market or even nearby village festivals. Our accommodation is not pictured, an old house with no electricity which was sometimes a challenge but allowed us to disconnect and enjoy the nature. The water supply was unreliable so sometimes had to rely on the river. I loved how much time we spent outside:)

Staying in Isca was an incredible experience and one I will never forget! Iris was a fantastic host who is super friendly and takes great care of her volunteers. Whilst the accommodation was not the pictures shown in the advertisement, it was a lovely property and allowed myself to connect with nature, improve my own cooking skills and relax. The only issue being an unreliable water source, meaning having to use the river to bathe and drink from. The work was physical and at times was extremely hard due to the high temperatures and sun exposure. But it is great for getting you fit !!

This was my first experience ever as Worldpackers and I can only say that I was extremely lucky to stay in Iris place, the place feels like heaven, is how me and my mates used to call it, our little paradise, is a place were you can connect and enjoy with nature, also to connect with Calabrian and Italian culture, neighbors are amazing and really friendly that always make you feel part of the community! And what to say about Iris, she is the most lovely person in the world, she will open her life to you and will take care of you like a mother do, thanks you Iris so much for this experience💗
