I cannot recommend this experience more. It is such a special place and I felt so sad to leave it!!
The work is interesting and varied, Danilo was always patient and kind so I learnt a lot about permaculture and how to live more in accordance with nature. We always had the afternoon off and were free to explore the beautiful landscape around.
Danilo is such a brilliant man. He is so conscious and intentional in the way that he lives and his attitude is infectious. We ate delicious locally grown (often by Danilo!), and always ate together.
I am SO grateful 💌💌💌

Danilo was my favourite host, who has so much knowledge to offer! The sustainable world he has created in his home is truly inspiring. Danilo hosted me when I was in a weird situation with another host, so it was last minute. He is so generous and kind. The meals were all natural foods, locally sourced. The daily work was fun as we worked in a group of 3 with another volunteer from London! I'll miss it very much. Truly a sanctuary. GRAIZE🫂

I had an incredible time at the project! Danilo is super nice, lovely and welcoming. As a solo female traveler, going to a place I don't know, it's really important to me to feel safe and comfortable, and as soon I entered the building I felt home and safe with the host. The work was fun, easy and if I needed some help he explained kindly and patiently. I would absolutely recommend this experience for everyone who loves to enjoy living in nature, having some donkeys as friends and learn about sustainable living and permaculture. I can't wait to come back I had the most amazing time :))

This experience became a true safe place for me. I was so lucky to be there. I felt very comfortable and calm. The work was interesting and varied, the food was healthy and local, and I really enjoyed preparing all the meals together. We shared a room with other volunteer and had our own private bathroom. Danilo was a very calm and understanding host,he always took care of us, and we loved listening to his stories about bees and home improvement. I am incredibly grateful for this experience. Thank you, Danilo, Sole, Ella and cute donkeys! I would happily return to this peaceful place.☺️💚

Danilo is a welcoming host with many interests and a great knowledge about environment and ecological agriculture. His place is a cozy home in the middle of beautiful and isolated hills, peaceful and immersed in nature. In November our main activities consisted in collecting olives and managing some wood in the olive groves, then helping local kids doing their homework in a nearby town, but of course the activities may vary according to seasons. We usually worked in the morning and had time to rest in the afternoon. The food was always good and healthy. Grazie Danilo!!!

I had an awesome time meting the Danilo's friends, everyone was really welcoming to me and the barrier language wasn't that bad, I like the experience of leaning new languages, the commodities were good, and I miss Sole, Thanks for the experience Danilo.

These two weeks with Danilo have been full of learning and discoveries. At first it was a bit challenging for us to integrate into his lifestyle, but gradually we started to feel more comfortable and confident. Danilo is a great person, very faithful to his values and to the principles shown in his profile. We both recommend the experience if you want to learn and work in nature.

The experience was very beautiful. Danilo is a good person and will introduce you to many things about permaculture. We collected the olives and went to the mill for the production of the oil. The place is welcoming and secluded. The nature is very beautiful. There are two donkeys and a very friendly dog. The food, predominantly vegetarian, is good and healthy. With Danilo you spend time pleasantly. He has many interests and helps the local community. I discovered a different way of living compared to the city life I am used to. Highly recommended!!!

Nuestra estadía con Danilo no podría haber sido mejor. Tuvimos realmente un excelente experiencia en el proyeto. Danilo es un increíble host: paciente, divertido, solidario, y con un gran corazón. Durante esta semana nos enseñó muchísimo sobre permacultura, sobre la importancia de la conexión con la naturaleza y del cuidado ambiental, pero sobre todo, sobre cómo podemos ser mejores personas y contribuir a construir un mundo mejor. Nos vamos con el corazón lleno, y con la certeza de que, en algún momento, volveremos!
