My stay with Eleonora, Marco and their amazing little boy Lupo was an experience I'll cherish forever.. this was my first Worldpackers experience and Marco and Eleonora didn't hesitate to welcome me into their family. Their kindness and generosity made me feel right at home. I cannot recommend this experience more! I am so grateful having gotten to spend 4 unforgettable weeks getting to know and build a friendship with their wonderful boy Lupo all while exploring their beautiful city Lucca and the surrounding cities. 4 weeks wasn't nearly enough time to have spent with these great people!

I can only recommend staying at the farm! I helped in the kitchen with another girl - the work is easy and everything is well explained. You're preparing the food for the guest, which is an easy work. The atmosphere while working is also really nice. You are in the kitchen with Marco, so you always have someone to chat with. Unfortunately I had to leave earlier than expected due to health problems. Eleonora and Marco were super understanding and it was no problem at all. In general, they are really kind and great people! You'll also meet other lovely travellers who'll you live with :)

I spent 2 months staying with Marco & Eleonora watching their wonderfully rambunctious son Lupo. They were super accommodating , making sure I had a living space that was comfortable with everything necessary. They went above and beyond to make sure we could get to the train and had exciting plans on our days off. They'll treat you as part of the family, taking you down to town or for a gelato all while cracking jokes. Lupo as a 4.5 year old has tons of energy which makes every moment exciting and keeps you on your toes. Although a handful, lupo is still the sweetest. Highly recommend this!

This was my first worldpackers experience and i couldnt've asked for a better one. I felt really welcome when i arrived, the place and people i've met are fantastic. The farm is unbeliveble and a wonderful place to work, surrounded with such a warm hardworking and good team. Eleonora and Marco are the best hosts you can ask for. They treat you with respect, are warm, kind, funny and did everything they could to make sure our days off were as good as our days working. I really reccomend this experience to everyone who wants to make a small town in the hills a piece of their heart.

My first experience with Worldpackers couldn't have been better than the farm! Eleonora and Marco are wonderful hosts and treated me and the other volunteers like family. They are kind, hilarious, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and travel plans on our days off. The farm property is so stunning that working in the kitchen felt like a reward. I always enjoyed going to work to spend more time with the hosts and help create the amazing atmosphere they provide to their guests. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for an immersive cultural experience!
