I loved my time on the farm and with Alberto and the other volunteer. Alberto showed us the local towns and fun places to go! The farm is so beautiful and it has the best dog and cat ever, chickens, and geese. We got to learn a lot about sustainability, cooking, gardening, animal care, Italian culture, and farming. I love that the food is mostly farm to table style. Really let yourself unplug and enjoy the nature and peace there, it will be an amazing experience if you do that. Thank you Alberto for helping me and for giving us an awesome, unforgettable experience.

My experience was really good, full of knowledge, having delicious dinner with a beautiful view & stunning sunset most of the time Despite that the place is isolated I have the opportunity to get to know the towns around, as Alberto was able to show the places around the place itself is beautiful surrounding by beautiful Tuscan architecture my favorite parts was to harvest the tomatoes 🍅 & the opportunity to cuddle Humus & timo 😬 Wish you the best to your project Alberto

The project is a very isolated place which I would recommend only if you really need to disconnect from society. There're very good activities to carry out such as animal-care and gardening completely immersed in nature. Apart from that, I didn't feel confortable with some comments of the Farm Manager and I left earlier than expected.

Yeah.. the place is isolated. It's clearly written on the profile, unfortunatelly there is nothing I can do about it but you knew it from before. I am sorry you didn't like it that way. I had a different impression from our conversations. You left earlier beacause you recived a job opportunity if I remember well. But it's ok, we both know the truth and I was happy to have you for a week. Thank you for the hard work you did while here and good luck for your future :)

I had a great two months with Alberto:) I learned so much about gardening, pottery, cooking and mostly sustainable living. The place is beautiful and quiet. Far from the cities but Alberto was generous and left us plenty of opportunities to explore Toscany. I had a great time and would totally recommend!

Thank you man! I missed out writing a review for you!
Thank you for your company and all the energies you have given to this place.
Two months was quite a long time to be here but your touch and work is visibly everywhere.
Consider yourself welcome to come back at any time!
You will be remembered. :)

I had a great time at Alberto's. The property is located in a beautiful place, but it is isolated, which is nice if you're looking for a reaaaally quiet spot. We had delicious meals, nice hikes, some short trips and boardgame nights. The activities depend of the weather and the season, but for sure you must like animals, gardening, cooking and you have to be willing to get your shoes and hands dirty. The only problem was about Alberto's attitude, which wasn't always the nicest, but we all have our good and bad days, I guess. Anyway, I loved the experience, I had the chance to learn a lot :)
