Unforgettable experience! Herd his cute sheep, cleaned Airbnb's, gardened & other farm maintenance. Most tasks were easy, only heat made it difficult at times. Accom.: shared, cozy with small kitchen, fridge and bathroom with cold water and no proper door. Signal/wifi only some spots & low speed. Food: provided breakfast items & delicious dinners by Elio. Elio's a passionate, funny and open minded guy who will listen to feedback. He cares for volunteers and tries to make it enjoyable. Can be eccentric, but ultimately a kind person: Took us to beaches and places I adored. Tysm! Ptichka <3

This was my first solo trip and first volunteering opportunity and I've had the best time! Elio is wonderful and provides a safe and welcoming environment for all of the volunteers. The area itself is beautiful and the beach is lovely! The animals are so adorable and Elio is really dedicated to their wellbeing and is a really lovely, funny guy. Everyone I volunteered with has been really kind too! The atmosphere is collaborative and I have learned so much being here.

The place itself is very nice, beautiful nature and it's only 5 minutes walk to the beautiful beach. The jobs you have to do depends on the season, in july we had to clean 2 air bnb's, then we had to feed the animals, clean their cages, sweaping the leafes and ext., some side jobs. The jobs itself are not hard but the weather makes it harder. Host is very funny and never misses an opportunity to make a joke. Also host takes you to places and show around, he also gives breakfast and dinner which is very nice. We have the best experience here, totally worth it!

I had an unforgettable experience. Host was a funny guy, teaching us a variety of new skills and taking us on tours around town to explore hidden gems. I enjoyed delicious meals prepared by our host, who also shared plenty of funny stories, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This experience was a perfect blend of learning, adventure, and camaraderie.

We absolutely loved our experience in the farm Aquaviva! Elio is a great host who is very flexible and cares not only about the job but also tries to make the experience fun and takes you around Puglia region to introduce you to the area! It is really an authentic Italian experience with great food and people:) We are sure we will be back!!💗
