I had a great time with Elios in the farm. We worked with the sheep and around the house, gardening and cleaning. The property is beautiful and a 3 minute walk from the beach. Elios is really nice and funny, he really cares about the volunteers. The living area is quite simple but you can get by just fine. This was my first time with Worldpackers and overall I really enjoyed working there, and felt welcomed from the beginning.

I had an amazing time at the farm with Elios, the work was not too hard and I got to learn about many differents things : gardening, making pizzas, taking care of the sheeps and chicken, ... I also got to enjoy the beach every day and discover other places with Elios and the other volunteers ! Would definitely recommend this experience 😊

I really enjoyed my stay with Elios! He is very gentle and caring with his animals, especially his cats. The tasks were good and I also got to do some trips outside of the farm. The accommodation was fine, although the cold water took some getting used to. Overall, a great experience!

Elios was a great host, there was always something to do and he would cook amazing food. He was also very conscious about work he would ask you to do, the sun would get very hot by midday so most of the jobs would stop at 12, then resume at 5 for an hour or two. You can tell that Elios cares a lot about his animals! I will miss the Ferrari and Papelino. Thank you Elios 😀

Aquaviva is such a beautiful place to stay. The water at the beaches is incredibly blue, and the rocks around the coast make a really impressive backdrop for the waves. It's a very peaceful and idyllic place. Elios is a good host and is flexible with the volunteers. He has no problem cooking vegetarian food and doesn't mind changing plans depending on what people feel like doing. If you want to go out in the evening or da fun trip, he's very understanding and easygoing. And the sheep are honestly a highlight too — they're huge and very cute!
