I absolutely loved my stay at the Polo Club! Melissa and her family are wonderful and very welcoming. The horses are beautiful, calm and patient, and the rides are so fun. If you have an opportunity to cook with Melissa or her father, it is an incredible experience. You will love this host if you enjoy being outside in nature. I hope to be back soon!

My experience at the farm was unforgettable. The horses, breathtaking Tuscan landscapes, and especially Melissa made it truly special. She turns a simple work exchange into an authentic immersion in Tuscan culture, with cooking classes, dinners in Siena's contrade, local events, and parties. You learn about food, horses, traditions, and the local lifestyle. The experience feels personal, and the work becomes just a small part of something much bigger. A wonderful surprise I will always remember. I couldn't recommend it more!

My experience at Melissas stable was very beautiful! I got to ride almost everyday through the beautiful Tuscan landscapes and met some incredible people. Melissa and everyone you'll get to meet are very very kind, always flexible and they definitely try to make your experience as unique as possible! While I was there i got to Watch the palio the Siena and was able to immer se in the local Culture through food, people, the nature and the horses!! Definitely recommend 🥰

Once again I had such a great experience with Melissa and her horses! The work is really easy if you're used to working with horses, and to me is really doesn't feel like work at all!! I would recommend staying with Melissa to everyone! She and her family are just such loving people and you'll feel truely welcome wherever you are. The location is the horses is also great I had lots of fun at the poloclub. I found new friends and a second home in Italy.🫶🏻

I absolutely adored my time at the poloclub! Melissa was a great host and she took us to local events where we could enjoy the Italian culture. She's was always very flexible and willing to help were needed. The horses she has are incredibly sweet and very used to each other which made the job easier.
All in all I enjoyed my time enormously!
