This ecovillage had a pleasant setting. There was a lot of nice activities to do and to learn about. I had a great time doing the plantations, sowing seeds. The only hard work was to fill the weelbarrows with manure during an entire day. But Maximilian was understanding and let me do some others activities when i told him I wont be able to do it an other day.
I want to thanks Maximilian to have accepted that I come along with my daughter even though I am 67.
I wish you the best for the future !

I was there with my mom to learn more about permaculture and italian. This experience was interesting and we had a good time with Max and others. We did various activities during the day. We were immerge in this beautiful nature. It was amazing to see how this ecovillage is self sufficient and protects nature. Just keep in mind that the place is remote, that you will work until 17pm/ 17pm30 so you won't be able to discover the area. Also the work can be hard (which was okay for me) but depending on your age and physical form just be aware of it. Good continuation to Max and his friend :)

When we arrived the crazy and lovely four dogs instantly greeted us. We got time to adapt before deeply diving into the work. The tasks had a good variation but were also pretty exhausting sometimes (which I Kinda like though). I met very nice people and learned a lot from them. So it is also very good for social development. It all somehow felt like a small family. The one thing that I didn't like is the City being 30 mins away + a very tough road, which is very bumpy with a normal car. And I would not recommend it to people who are intimidated/scared by dogs ( i loved it)

The project is a place built out of conviction and heart, we loved our stay here. Even though the work was hard, cooking dinner with everyone and having random, deep, funny conversations made it worth. This is the place to fall in love with permaculture and really understand it, but also to have the best Italian experience, Max is truly a special kind person, we are grateful this was our first experience and we hope to come back soon. Ps. The food is the best. Taaaaac!

This was my first experience and it was amazing, max is a great person, very funny. We stayed for a moth and learned a lot such as Permaculture, cooking, gardening, harvesting, transplanting, etc (you never stop learning). I felt very comfortable during the whole stay. It's such a great protect, I'm so thankful with Max and all the volunteers I met. The food was awesomeee, true Italian cuisine.

My stay with Max, his dogs and a group of wonderfull people was just amazing. Yes there is a lot of work to be done every day but the social contact, home made food and Tuscany nature all around the place more than makes up for the sometimes hard work. Max showed and explained every task that had to be done so there was no confusion. Every possible problem was resolved calmely in a constructive maner. It is wonderful to see how much Max cares about all of his animals and the environment. For the time I spent at Maxes farm I felt like I found a new home in the middle of a Tuscany forrest.

Had an amazing week here! I had the chance to do different tasks everyday and through the process, learn so much about growing your own food. The accommodation was cosy and it was nice sharing meals with Max and other volunteers over meal times in the common spaces which always had a warm atmosphere. Max also has four of the friendliest dogs who are such great company! Overall a great getaway for reconnecting with nature and learning more about permaculture.

I loved my stay at the project. Max is an incredibly nice guy and a great host. We had a lot of fun together. He taught us everything we needed to know and got into detail so we'd fully understand. He'd always played Musik during work so it was more fun. There was always enough delicious food though breakfast could maybe be a bit improved. I really enjoyed my stay, it is hard but fun work and you'll have a cozy place to stay. I felt welcomed the first second I met him, seriously recommend!

The experience at the project eco-village was incredible; Max taught me many new things. I learned how to take care of chickens and ducks (who are free to roam in the open fields), how to chop wood and cut branches, how to give the right nutrients to the soil and plants. We also created fruit preserves and delicious jams. Max teaches very carefully everything in detail, but then also gives the volunteers great autonomy, which I really appreciated. He is a very fun guy and you will pass wonderful time at the project farm. It's also a great opportunity to learn about permaculture and nature!
