My stay at the farm was such a great experience. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few tasks to do, so be prepared to stay active. That said, everything is manageable and fair. I had my own space, and being able to cook my own meals was really nice. Bea and Luca are very welcoming and helpful people. Bea is such a joy to be around, very friendly and warm. They're always willing to help with any question or situation you might have.

I'm very grateful for the time I spent with Bea and Luca. The place is beautiful and I learned so much during my stay, from helping with guests and breakfast to cleaning and gardening. It pushed me outside my comfort zone and made me much more confident and independent. The work is detailed and can be busy, so I'd recommend it to someone who enjoys responsibility and learning new things. Although I decided to leave earlier than planned, Bea was very understanding and I'm grateful for the experience and wish them both the best! ❤️

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm. It is in a lovely location and is very peaceful. Bea is a very kind and caring person! There is a lot of work to do , and at times I struggled with this being the only volunteer , but this is no fault of the farms. Grazie per tutto the farm ! <3

Thanks! To clarify for future volunteers: we provide daily checklists and task guides for our standard 5-hour shifts. Staff is always present for hands-on training and ongoing support. The workload is balanced and manageable, and you were never asked to perform extra duties.
We were surprised by your comments, as you chose to leave just a few days after your arrival—right during the initial learning phase—rather than completing your planned month. We wish you the best in your future endeavors

The farm is a great place if you enjoy the outdoors and connecting with local people. Bea and Luca are always attentive to your needs and often include you in their friends' and family dinner parties. During the five-hour shift, you're expected to complete all tasks on the list and keep everything neat and organized. Mantova, the nearby city, is beautiful, and from there you can easily visit many other beautiful places. You'll meet great people, and I can't wait to come back and enjoy another summer night at the farm!!

I truly enjoyed my time here. It was my first experience volunteering and it couldn't have been a better fit for me. The family is the kindest, most welcoming and always ready to help - it was a real pleasure getting to know them! The place is amazing, lots of opportunities to visit other cities such as Trento, Bologna and Venice and Mantova itself is such a lovely town - especially when taking the bike to sit by the lake! A fantastic experience that I can warmly recommend. I hope to come back one day:))

Really lovely experience! Felt very welcomed and nice environment to work in and be around. Really good communication and felt very valued as a volunteer. Great experience to learn a bit about hospitality and Italian culture. A lovely opportunity to meet lovely people and lovely fellow travellers. Definitely recommend also a fantastic position to see a lot of Italy very easily and a great way to learn Italian. A very inspiring experience and lots of lovely memories. Also, the farm is in a very calm and tranquil area which is very grounding and Mantova which is very close is stunning!

This is a beautiful place for disconnected, , you have a comfortable room and a kitchen with everything you need to cook , you should know that these are not vacations, you have many benefits but in exchange you must work the agreed hours with a lot of dedication , it is a very demanding job since perfection is expected of you and you must know how to work under pressure ,but Bea is always looking out for you to have what you need, she and his brother are very good people, they always help me with everything. is in Mantova, with good conextion for go to venice, verona, Bolzano etc thanks!!

The farm is a very beautiful, cozy countryside family hotel! You feel like a member of Italian family! The hosts are very kind and supportive. All tasks are clear, you should be ready to learn doing many different things for a hotel business. Also here you can improve your Italian language skills, meet international travelers and other WP volunteers!

My time at the farm was beautiful. I stayed for five weeks and during those weeks I was welcomed wholeheartedly into their home by Bea, Luca and their family. We had amazing meals, learnt so much about the italian language, I cycled around the area which is ripe with nature and such beauty and was able to visit many places with another volunteer which also added to the experience making a new friend! The work is easy when you get the hang of it with some busy mornings, I enjoyed it! Be prepared to work responsibly, the whole experience and people I will never forget. Grazie mille :)

I really loved my time at the farm! For me the most special thing is that the agriturismo is located in front of a very beautiful park, so I could make bike rides, run, yoga and watch amazing sunsets near the nature! Luca e Bea are very nice people, open to dialog and they will make you all the traditional foods of Mantova - about the food: just amazing. The room has a beautiful view b beside some bugs. The activities was very clear all the schedules was respected. Beware, it's not a vacation so be prepared to work a lot but also learn a lot about the operations of an hotel/b&b
