Before my arrival at the Center, I didn't really know what to expect, I have never been to a permaculture project. But now, that i stayed there for a bit more than a month i am so grateful for the experience. Pepi and Meli are wonderful people full of love and also passionate about the work they do. You can learn so much from them in every sphere and the knowledge they have is huge. Honestly, there not a single negative thing that i could say about them. They made me feel at home, they were supportive, had a lot of understanding and patience for everyone. All in all, its a good place to be.

The Center, Peppi, Melania, Tao & Zulu have a special corner in my heart now. That place and the experience there has given me so much that id fall short of words to list here. Though i'll try :P As an independent filmmaker i got plenty creative and executional freedom, right from ideation to working hours. As a volunteer and guest i felt extremely welcomed and well taken care of with the sumptuous meals from Melania's farm to table kitchen, Peppi's ever present assistance & the warm hugs of the nature of the Center. Grateful and blessed to have embraced myself & my work like never before.

Words in a digital box couldn't possible begin to describe the pure joy of this experience at the Center. Both Peppi and Melania taught me so much about myself and connection with spirit. I am forever thankful for the friendships I have made staying here. So much love. The sleeping situation was comfortable, clean and communal. There was still plenty of privacy. The food was incredible, Meli is a chef, following the ancient macrobiotic philosophy that honestly has changed the way I look at my food intake so radically, I can't see myself looking back.

The Center is not just a place to rest, it's the perfect place to reconnect with nature and your roots. Peppi and Melania are two very welcoming people who always have a smile on their face. I've loved working with them on marketing projects and have learnt a lot about their way of life and permaculture. The community and space they've created is just incredible and I'd recommend everyone to come and visit the Center! Thank you so much for everything!
