My time at the farm was not long enough. From the moment i arrived, Calogero and Michelle welcomed me into their home with warmth and comfort which made me feel like apart of their wonderful family. I got to spend my time relaxing by the pool and admiring the beautiful view of the mountain filled countryside. I learned so much about the local culture and Sicilian lifestyle which is one i can't wait to experience again. If you get the chance to spend some time at this location consider yourself lucky because by the end of it, you will not want to leave, just like me.

My experience at the farm was truly amazing! The place is a real paradise, and it was a great learning experience. I was welcomed with Sicilian hospitality, which made me feel like part of the family. Everyone is very kind. It was really special for me! I highly recommend it.

This place has so many beautiful things, but I left this experience after a week. I didn't feel like the hours and free time were clear and I was asked to do tasks that weren't previously agreed on. If you want to volunteer here, ask for a clear schedule and tasks beforehand so you get a clear image on what they are expecting from you.

Ti ringrazio Judit . Era chiarissimo , i compiti erano di fare check in e check out , premetto che a massimo potevano essere 2 o 3 check in al giorno , o magari uno , e poi se volevi potevi stare con i bambini , Mi diresti quale sono i compiti in più? Il primo giorno sei arrivata è non ti ho fatto fare niente , il secondo stavi dalla mattina alla sera buttata sul prato con i cani , ti ho detto cortesemente di accompagnare gli ospiti e mi hai detto che eri stanca , ma di fare cosa ? Sono rimasto veramente deluso , e poi quale settimana hai fatto? Il secondo giorno ti ho detto di andare via e sei rimasta altri 3 giorni a non fare niente per cercare il posto dove andare. Se cercate qualcuno che lavora avete sbagliato persona , sta solo stare sul telefono e buttata sul prato . sapete solo dire bugie , io per essere educato non ti ho fatto nemmeno la recensione, tu hai la faccia di giustificarti , non sai cosa è il lavoro. Ti auguro tanto bene , chiamami quando inizi a capire cosa è il lavoro e prima di scrivere una recensione guardati allo specchio.

La mia esperienza è stata davvero buona dal primo giorno, mi hanno trattato come parte della famiglia, e così mi sono sentito. Ho potuto imparare sia dalla lingua che dal lavoro. Esperienza assolutamente raccomandabile e arricchente. Calogero è una persona estremamente laboriosa che ti insegnerà e ti accompagnerà giorno per giorno. Ringrazio ogni giorno di aver potuto essere in quel posto con una bella natura che ti circonda. Grazie grazie
