The work instructions were clear and the jobs that I had to do were pretty easy. However, throughout my stay, I was not fed enough food. Dinner was the only full meal I received (the other meals were very light), however, sometimes dinner was not even provided. I had to continuously buy groceries even on the days that we agreed I’d be provided with meals. The housing situation was not very ideal as when I arrived, the camper van that I was sleeping in was dirty with mold and ants on the walls. I also felt the host was not very welcoming and I felt that I was not wanted in their home.

She stayed with us for 10 days and barely worked one hour a day, and the work was done poorly. Despite everything we offered meals. We entrusted our farm to her in our absence, and upon returning I found my pots thrown outside to water the animals and many things broken, a gift (hair oil) completely used up, a filthy house, and finally our beloved dog, whom we loved, went out with them into the street and was torn apart by other dogs, and when I returned I found her.

The family was friendly, Cristina speaks French, otherwise you can learn Italian. On the other hand, I think I arrived in a very busy period for them and he did not have time for me. The objective of this Woofing was to discover the local culture, to have an exchange and to learn Italian. But in 3 days I felt that he didn't have time for me and didn't care about me, I was there to work. So I shortened my stay. Nevertheless, it all depends on what you are looking for, the family is friendly, and I had to arrive at the wrong time.

I needed help during a hazelnut harvest, I left to do my job as a veterinarian at 6 in the morning and returned in the evening. My husband took care of my children and the hazelnut harvest, do you think we had time to turn you around? You need flexibility dear girl, you could have taken a bus to go wherever you want, go hiking (near us there are hundreds of mountain trails). You told me that you didn't like the job and that's why you left, you weren't even honest and you got me into trouble because I organized myself knowing that you were there and I didn't call other volunteers leaving us alone.. if you make a commitment you have to respect it!

Having spent this time with a traditional Italian family not only let me be immerse in varied aspects of their culture, their language, their idiosyncrasy, but it also let me visit picturesque and amazing natural places. I was invited to the kids' final festivals, to the beach, to the theatre, to outdoors live music shows and to share delicious typical food at friends' houses. With reference to work the instructions were provided in a clear and precise way.

We stayed for 1 month. The work to be done was easy and the schedules were flexible, we were autonomous on the tasks to be done and we are very happy with the work we had the opportunity to do. We were able to take a very nice walk near the volcano with the host's. For the rest of our stay we decided to rent a car to be able to move more easily and be able to visit Sicily (which is beautiful) Stefano and Cristina are very nice. Thank you for their welcome 🙏

Giustina and her partner have been very helpful to us. They gave us a big helping hand cleaning the rooms at the agriturismo, serving at tables and doing farm work. They were very discreet and responsible. Thank you very much.

Muy buena experiencia, Cristina, Stefano y sus hijos son excelentes personas, nos hicieron sentir en nuestras casas desde el primer momento. Desayunamos, almorzamos y cenamos juntos. La casilla rodante es cómoda y espaciosa. Por la noche recomiendo bajar la térmica de la electricidad si quieren dormir escuchando el silencio del campo. El baño del restaurante fue solo para nosotros. Las tareas son sencillas y los anfitriones fueron flexibles con nuestros horarios de trabajo. Si te gustan los animales, la naturaleza y estás buscando desconectar de la ciudad, este voluntariado es para vos. 🙌🏻

Agradecemos a Cristina, Stefano y a sus hijos por toda su amabilidad en la estadía. Pudimos compartir comidas, charlas y experiencias juntos que recordaremos por siempre. Con respecto a las tareas del voluntariado son sencillas: tuvimos que realizar el manteniendo de la limpieza en las habitaciones, restaurant y las veredas del sitio. También realizamos algunos trabajos de pintura. Aprendimos a podar los árboles de nocciola y mejoramos mucho nuestro nivel de italiano! Si desean realizar senderismo, treking o ir a los pueblos vecinos deberán realizar varios km.

Meu voluntariado em Saint Alfio foi ótimo, o trabalho não era difícil, os anfitriões são bem flexíveis em relação ao horário, você pode fazer como achar melhor! A única observação é que a fazenda fica bem longe da cidade e não há transporte público, se você não vai de carro não há como sair e conhecer outras cidades! Cris nos levou a praia e ao circo mas não são possíveis muitos passeios com ela porque ela trabalha a semana inteira! As crianças da família são a melhor parte!! Agradeço muito pela experiência ao Stefan, Cris, Sveva e Matias!

Pase unos hermosos dias en la naturaleza rodeada de animales, las tareas son claras y sencillas. Cristina y su familia nos llevaron a la playa, al centro y a un festival increíble que quedara marcado en mi corazón para siempre.

La experiencia fue BUENA en general, los anfitriones nos recibieron a mi amiga y a mi en su hogar, nos dieron un Camper solo para dormir, ya que no tiene ni baño ni cocina (Usamos el del restaurant para nosotros) las tareas son muy sencillas y Cristina y Stefano son flexibles con el trabajo. La idea es ayudar y aportar en todo lo que se pueda en la granja. Hay muchos animales y la conexión con la naturaleza, eso es genial. En mi estadía las tareas fueron, limpiar y ordenar las habitaciones del hotel y mantener la limpieza del restaurant. también aprendimos a limpiar los arboles de avellanas!
