My experience in the the eco village village village was fast but beautiful. Everyone from the the eco village village Villagio is super kind and gentle, even tho they don't speak English. I shared room with other Italian volunteer and the room was great, the volunteer's house is cute with a nice kitchen and super clean. I helped cleaning some rooms and commum areas for the weekend event. All the meals are vegan and super delicious!! Grazie Mille per tutti Federico I hope to come back someday :)

My experience in the the eco village village village was insightful. Their hosts are very kind and flexible with hours of work. The food was delicious and their grounds very clean, my area to sleep was comfortable too. Sadly, at the time of my visit, activities were not running as usual so I didn't get to see how the centre runs, including meditation, which was one of my main interests. It is a bit too remote from other towns, so getting around independently on your free time is not easy. I only met 1 volunteer at the end of my stay, felt a bit lonely, I would recommend visiting not in the summer. Overall, it was good
