The Experience

Our little eco/glamping/agriturismo/farm all in one is located in one of the most beautiful places of Italy, in Maremma, Tuscany. We make our living by renting our eco structures such as yurts, tepee, wooden houses a wheel house and small apartments. We have an olive grove, vegetable garden, chickens, dog and cat. And two kids, too, so we are never bored. Would you like to experience living on the farm with us?

Gaia and the whole family are very kind, understanding and wonderful. They live in such a beautiful place in connection with nature and the local culture. Me and the other volunteers stayed in a cute trailer. We mostly helped with picking olives which was so much fun and required a lot of team effort. We also helped with cleaning the rooms for guests, taking care of the chickens and general gardening. Every task was explained very well and checked when finished, I felt that my work was appreciated. Communication was easy and hours were flexible. I highly recommend this experience!

Thanks for giving me a second home and family.🥰 I had an awesome stay at the lodge, the family is really welcoming and treat you as one of them. They always there is you need anything and when I injured my feet they helped me, gave me bandages and similar to help me heal. Gaia also took us to a natural spring and offered to drive us to town nearby to explore! Gaia is really flexible with the work hours. I did a lot of different work, olive harvesting (so cool and interesting to learn everything about that), gardening, painting, cleaning, cooking, playing with Elena and Adam! 🩷

The whole the lodge family is very welcoming and kind. They were always making sure that us volunteers had everything we needed and felt comfortable. They gave us clear instructions and were patient and understanding. the lodge is in a very beautiful spot and the hosts put a lot of care and creativity into their work to maintain the property. I enjoyed my stay a lot, I learnt a couple of new skills, one among them is how to take care of ducks and chickens, which was very wholesome! the lodge is perfect for people who like to be close to nature and are ready to get inspired by it.

Gaia picked me up at the train station. From the beginning Gaia was very open, friendly and asked a lot about me. Gaia really seemed who is very happy because of a new volunteer. Gaia and his family treated me equially and I felt I know them long time ago. Gaia explained every task for me very clearfully and always gave me feedback about my finished tasks. We could talked openly about the day off and Gaia was flexible with it. If I needed something he always tried to find the best solution. Overall, there was a very good cooperation between us during my staying.
