I had such a wonderful time during my 2 week stay at the farm ! Maria and Fede (and the girls) were so kind and welcoming, and you really feel apart of their family! The work was mainly in the field with a bit of work in the laboratory, both of which were very interesting to learn and very enjoyable. The food was also always so amazing!! Thank you so much for making it such a great experience! I hope to be back one day!!

It was my first experience with Worldpackers and I couldn't have asked for any better place! Maria and Federico made me feel so welcomed in their home and I felt like part of the family from day 1. I really enjoyed sharing amazing dinners, early mornings on the field and free time in the garden. I learned a lot about harvesting and transformation and the work was fun and not too hard. They are also really understanding and flexible and we had a lot of free time to rest and explore the surrounding nature and cities. This experience will stay in my heart and I will definitely come back!

I came to the project Mirtillo planning to stay for 10 days, but I loved the experience so much that I ended up volunteering for 40. Maria Vittoria and Federico are welcoming hosts who share their knowledge, culture, and way of life with generosity. I learned about herbs, Italian cuisine, traditions, and the language while becoming part of a wonderful family. Agata, Flora, the five cats, Castagna, and the volunteers also found a place in my heart. I truly hope to come back one day!

My experience with Federico and Maria at the project Mirtillo was a dream come true. After visiting multiple cities, spending time with nature and a lovely family on their farm together was exactly what I needed and what I truly look for in my experiences. The work was very reasonable and I enjoyed learning hands on, the food was healthy and delicious, and the home was large and filled with character. I thank the kindness Federico and Maria showed me to welcome me into their home and although my time was short, I felt fully comfortable and excited to come back again! Grazie

I had a wonderful stay at the project Mirtillo. I only have words of gratitude for Fede, Maria Vittoria, and their lovely family. From the very first moment, they made me feel right at home; the atmosphere is so pleasant and welcoming. I laughed so much with them—they both have a great sense of humor! The tasks are varied and easy, and they are flexible with schedules and days off. The meals are absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, the best volunteer experience I've had so far. Thank you for everything to both! 🫂🌟

Fede&MariaVittoria are wonderful, fun and easygoing! Food is delicious! Mainly vegetarian. Perfect agro experience, true italian family and international atmosphere! Farm is in rural area of Dicomano, and they offer rides to the station when taking the children to and from school. There's a direct train to Florence. Tasks include harvest olives with tool, set nets, fill baskets; clean leave/weeds from the beds; plant; remove debris to prepare beds; indoor activities in the lab are to fill and label pots; prepare herbs for dry. Best tuscan countryside exp I could imagine! Go without concerns!

This world packers experience was truly amazing. The hosts Maria and Fede and their daughters were soo welcoming and friendly they made me feel like I was apart of the family. The work we were involved in was mainly cutting weeds and maintaining the plants. This was a dream come true and I can't wait to come back another time. grazie fede and Maria

I can't help but wish I could keep this gem all to myself! The breathtaking view of the landscape resembled the swells of the ocean. Our hosts, Fredi and Maria, are incredibly warm and welcoming—truly some of the nicest people I've ever met. Even though our stay was just 10 days, they feel like family! The work was straightforward and enjoyable, mostly involving cutting weeds and pruning plants. For anyone reading this, I encourage you to stop searching for other options—this is the perfect experience! It's filled with warmth, beauty, and a sense of community that you won't want to miss.

Had an absolutely incredible experience here! Federico, Marì and the kids are super lovely and have a beautiful place. The work was fun and we got to learn some new skills, and the food was so good!! Would love to come back here again- highly recommend for those who want to see beautiful Italian scenery and help out a great little family. Ciao Fede and Marì!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
