I had a great time with Elios in the farm. We worked with the sheep and around the house, gardening and cleaning. The property is beautiful and a 3 minute walk from the beach. Elios is really nice and funny, he really cares about the volunteers. The living area is quite simple but you can get by just fine. This was my first time with Worldpackers and overall I really enjoyed working there, and felt welcomed from the beginning.

I had an amazing time at the farm with Elios, the work was not too hard and I got to learn about many differents things : gardening, making pizzas, taking care of the sheeps and chicken, ... I also got to enjoy the beach every day and discover other places with Elios and the other volunteers ! Would definitely recommend this experience 😊

I really enjoyed my stay with Elios! He is very gentle and caring with his animals, especially his cats. The tasks were good and I also got to do some trips outside of the farm. The accommodation was fine, although the cold water took some getting used to. Overall, a great experience!

Elios was a great host, there was always something to do and he would cook amazing food. He was also very conscious about work he would ask you to do, the sun would get very hot by midday so most of the jobs would stop at 12, then resume at 5 for an hour or two. You can tell that Elios cares a lot about his animals! I will miss the Ferrari and Papelino. Thank you Elios 😀

Aquaviva is such a beautiful place to stay. The water at the beaches is incredibly blue, and the rocks around the coast make a really impressive backdrop for the waves. It's a very peaceful and idyllic place. Elios is a good host and is flexible with the volunteers. He has no problem cooking vegetarian food and doesn't mind changing plans depending on what people feel like doing. If you want to go out in the evening or da fun trip, he's very understanding and easygoing. And the sheep are honestly a highlight too — they're huge and very cute!

Where to start! I loved getting to spend time at the farm this summer. Elios was an amazing host and the work was super reasonable. The area is gorgeous and the neighboring cities are very nice to spend time in. I hope to come back and visit sometime in the future! If you like spending time outside, this experience is the perfect fit

Elios was a amazing Italian host, with emphasis on italian; mindset & approach to time, meaning 16h o'clock could actually mean 16.30 or later haha, so being flexible in your time planning is a must, but the sheep, self-made food, cats, views, atmosphere and beach are really worth it! My friend & I were there with other volunteers which made the tasks nicer to do since we were making fun whilst working. The tasks are nice balanced with the free time & since it was super hot the last days of our stay, Elios jokingly demanded us to go to the beach when finished with our tasks, he's a funny guy.

This was my first worldpacker experience and I could not be happier with it! The place is so so beautiful and Elios and his cats are the best company ;)
I really enjoyed the work, which was mostly outside. There was always lots of different things to do and Elios tried to assign the volunteers the work they are good at or like. When it comes to working hours, Elios is really flexible and takes the volunteer's rythm into account. We for example were free the whole afternoon during most of the days! All in all I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back! I can only recommend :))

The experience was amazing, I truly recommend everyone that can do it to go for it. Elio is really nice and funny, he takes really good care of the volunteers and cooks amazingly. Best host ;).
For anyone that's looking for hands on work in a beautiful place, this is definitely the place to go.
Overall an amazing experience and I'm so ready to repeat it.
Sending love to Papelino (and Elio ;) )
Lastly, I recommend anyone that's going to get some water goggles, the beach is amazing.

An absolutely amazing experience! At first, I was a bit disoriented by the lack of schedule and defined tasks, but after a couple of days, I got used to the flow. Every day we were told exactly what needed to be done, which meant the tasks were always different and kept things interesting. The location right in front of the beach is perfect, and the food Elio cooked was always delicious. I highly recommend staying here! (PS: you don't need to bring your own toilet paper, said that in other reviews 😂)

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 :)
