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?

I absolutely loved my time with Gaia and his family. The perfect place to take an extra breath after running around between different hostels and absorb the rural Italian life. Daily activities include mowing the grass and caring for the chickens, but there's usually a special project on the go as well!(YAY TREEHOUSE) I wish I could have stayed so much longer❤️❤️ I hope to visit again soon!! Thank you for everything.🥰🌞

My experience at the lodge was a great one. Gaia (and his entire family) is very caring and accommodating. He has many great stories to tell, and will try to make sure you feel at home. The workload was manageable. It varies depending on the time of year, but my tasks included: watering the garden and feeding the chickens, painting a deck, cleaning the big dome and helping in the kitchen. I was always given instructions on what to do and Gaia was there to help me if I had questions. One thing to keep in mind is the remoteness of the property. I would make sure to pack a book or such.

Dear Andrei, thank you for your kind words and positive review. Our whole family felt very fortunately to get to know you and experience the the times together. Your tasks were not always easy, but you managed all of them with joy and ease. I regret there were no other volunteers during most of your time. That would certainly make our isolated farm feel more fun. I appreciate you and wish you all the best with future worldpackers experiences.

My first volunteering couldn't be better! Gaia and Marketa, thank you so much for everything! The experience was incredible, they were always concerned about whether everything was ok and also provided a welcoming and familiar environment! I will definitely be back, I felt at home, and it wasn't easy to say goodbye to them, I left with a heavy heart!

It was my first volunteering at worldpackers, and it couldn't be better! The place we stayed is super comfortable, and being in the middle of the mountains is magical. The host whenever he can takes us to meet places and eat pizza! Super kind, cool and welcoming! I loved the experience and I will definitely miss it 🥺🩷

My time with Gaia and his family was unforgettable and impactful. Although I only stayed two weeks I feel to be apart of their team and family. They were welcoming, accommodating, and very caring of their staff and guests. The property itself was stunning and I couldn't get enough of the views and chickens. They show love and compassion with everything they do. Thank you, Gaia!
