I had a fantastic time at the host. David and Simone hosted us all so generously and made us all feel so at home. I would highly recommend this event to anyone wanting to get back in touch with nature and to learn about permaculture. I highly enjoyed learning how to make sourdough, kombucha, hummus and so many more delicious things. I cannot wait to return and continue learning.

I had an amazing time volunteering at the host in Tuscany, owned by David. It's a beautiful place where I learned so much about Italian culture, cooking delicious Italian food, and truly appreciating the stunning nature and sky around me. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with incredible volunteers who were friendly and full of positive energy. It was not just a camp but a place to connect, grow, and create unforgettable memories. Highly recommend this experience!

I stayed with Lana in the host for 3,5 weeks, the time flew by! We ate delicious food, met super nice people, played games, enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, watched sunsets and worked with each other in the household and the garden! David has so much knowledge, which he likes to share! It is important to him that no one is short of anything and that certainly does not happen. And without Simone this time would not have been the way it was. Communication is appreciated and is also important. I experienced this as positive. Talk to each other. An experience never to forget!

Togheter with a friend I took on the adventure with the host. And how glad I am that we did. David and Simone really know how to create an atmosphere that immediately makes it feel like coming home. In the 3,5 weeks that I stayed here, I learnt so much about sustainability, gardening, cooking, people, music and sociability that I will always carry with me. The secluded location allows for beautiful hiking trails, stunning views, tranquility and the most beautiful sunsets. Also the people who fill the house make it well worth it. the host is definitely recommended! ☀️
