The Experience

Would you like to share a magical place nestled between the sea and the mountains with us? We've been offering organic rural hospitality for many years, and now we have two young children (aged 4 and 2) with another on the way. We need valuable help around the house and with the children to best welcome tourists, manage the farm, and welcome the new baby. We prefer female volunteers with knowledge of German and/or Italian.

Its been a lovely experience. They are a wonderful family and I felt comfortable and welcomed. Although some tasks are physically demanding, the work itself is straightforward. The place and sorroundings are gorgeous, but getting around can be difficult due to its isolated location and limited transportation. However the family always offered me a lift whenever they had to take the car, which i really appreciated. I would maybe recommend coming with someone, as it can get a bit lonely at times. However, if you are looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, this is the place!

I had a great time staying at the farm! Lisa and Amadeo have worked hard to create a place that is beautiful, sustainable, and welcoming to volunteers and guests. I mostly worked in the garden weeding, but also had a variety of other tasks to do. Usually I worked in the morning and had the whole afternoon free but occasionally I would help out with the kids in the evening! They have a separate room, bathroom and kitchen just for volunteers. The walk to town is about 40 minutes downhill and can be a little tiring, especially in the heat. It takes about another hour to walk down to the sea

Amedeo and Lisa are lovely people who gave me a warm welcome. If you needed anything or had a question, you could always let them know and they'd sort out any problem. The work in the garden, which always took place in the mornings, was sometimes quite strenuous as the property is situated on a slope. However, I was allowed to do something different almost every day, so the work never got boring. If you want to go to the nearest town (Vibonati) in the afternoon, it's about a 30-minute walk. All in all, I really can recommend this experience.

I spent one month at the farm and it was a really good experience. Usually I worked in the mornings, either cleaning the rooms or helping in the vegetable garden, and sometimes before dinner I looked after the children. The work was always clear and not too heavy. The house is quite far from the village, but for me it was perfect to disconnect and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. On my free days I could take the bus to go to the sea, which I really enjoyed. Lisa and Amedeo are very kind and welcoming, and I always felt comfortable with them and the children.

I really recommend to volunteer at the farm! Lisa and Amedeo are both really caring hosts. If you don't feel comfortable with something you get respected for that immediately. I have to mention that communication anytime was very clear so missunderstandings were prevented. You only should be aware that the farm is remote. If you like to walk, then go for it. Otherwise the family sometimes may take you with them by car to get to know the area. There is also a bus running twice a day.
