The host is definitely a beautiful place. Ideal to relax and be in contact with nature. Dona is a very gentle and hard-working woman, always willing to provide what is necessary to make the stay of guests and volunteers better. I'm really very grateful for welcoming me as if I were family, for teaching me about plants and for feeding me so well! Experience more than recommended! Thank you Dona, Andrea and Giorgio for everything! We will see you again soon!

The host has been a great experience and stay. From the location, the hosts and how to do work; it truly has been a pleasure. Donatella, Andrea and family have been exceptionally welcoming to a point where I felt this was a home from home. I couldn't have asked for better people to be around. With a sense of humour, fair expectations and very open to discussion. Not a day here has felt like a chore, indeed the opposite. So if you're looking for a great stay, with fair work, friendly people whilst being close to Bologna. Look no further, Grazie mille, Elliott.
