My stay at the lodge was amazing! The host, Gaia, is nice and took good care of us. Harvesting the olives was sometimes hard work, but with a team of five volunteers, it was great fun. The location is beautiful and has exactly what you need. Thank you Gaia for this amazing experience!🫒

Excellent experience. AgriturismoPereti is quiet, very careful, magical and the immersion in nature is total. Gaia is an open, flexible, VERY generous and respectful person:THANKS =)! I went for the olive harvest, which is not a difficult job, you just might end up tired after a long day. There are days when you work longer hours to take advantage of the good weather and it doesn't rain, but those extra hours are compensated. It allowed me to understand and appreciate the work and effort behind olive oil. We formed a GREAT team with Ava, Luisa, Lucas and Cristian, thank you for everything!!= )

I stayed with Gaia for 2 weeks during the olive harvest season. The olive harvest is tiring, we had go take advantage of the days it wasn't raining so there were days that we would work for 8hrs, which when you are doing manual labor can be a bit much. Gaia was very flexible though and communicating with him was very easy. The overtime was compensated

Amazing! I stayed with Gaia for three weeks, and it was great! The work is easy, and Gaia is very understanding. EXCEPT for the olive harvest. Days can be long, and it's important to track your hours so that it can even out. Gaia is respectful of the hours agreed upon and very flexible and accommodating. Not to mention, the photos dont do the property justice- it's gorgeous!!! Thank you, Gaia! Hope to see you again :)

Silas and I have stayed at Gaia's place about 3 weeks and it has been truly amazing. The tasks were varied depending on whether there were guests or not. Most of the work was outside (like gardening and building maintenance) and some where inside (like cleaning and preparing the accommodations for guests). Gaia is a fantastic host who respects working hours and is very flexible to your needs. We were here with 3 other volunteers. It is a very beautiful and remote place so be prepared to entertain yourself in your freetime. All in all we had a great time and can really recomment this place.
