I had such an amazing one‑week work‑away stay at your place! Everything went far beyond my expectations. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home from the very first day. I really enjoyed the work tasks, and I appreciated your patience and kindness throughout our time together.

It was wonderful to experience local life with you. I learned so much and created many precious memories. Thank you so much for your hospitality, for sharing your home and your stories with me. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone, and I hope I can come back to visit you someday!

I had a great experience working with the horses here in Italy with Silvia, I got so many knowledge with her about how to take care with the horses. The environment is welcoming, and I learned a lot about horse care and daily farm life. The horses are well looked after, and the whole experience was both enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you for the opportunity! I found what I'm looking for. Thanks Silvia

Thank you too Ion ! Your contribution to creating this structure has been truly important.
A lifelong dream of mine, which I want to see become a true Equestrian Academy and a point of reference for Artistic Equitation.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Working with Silvia was fantastic! She taught me so much about horses, which was my biggest goal, and she's a true film expert! The animals there are adorable, and I'll miss them so much! I hope to return as soon as possible, and I definitely recommend Silvia's home to anyone who wants to learn all about horses from a true master!

This is great place to get in touch with horses, Silvia will let you work independently for four hours a day and spend time caring for her horses. Besides that, you are close to Rimini beaches, San Marino historian culture and many spots to discover. However, the place is a little bit isolated and not easy to do the groceries so you will need to rely on the weekly pickup to buy food. Also à great opportunity as well to improve Spanish and Italian .

I was only supposed to stay for one month but I loved it here so much I stayed for an extra 6 weeks. Silvia is beyond amazing. She is extremely kind, understanding, and she allows you flexibility in your work and your hours. I was not treated like a volunteer, I was treated like family. Silvia would invite me to do things, and this allowed me to meet many amazing people and to see the sights in the area. There is never a dull day with Silvia and the amazing animals here. I highly recommend, as I am leaving knowing I will miss this place, Silvia, the animals and everyone else I met here.

The experience was lovely. I learned a lot about horses and Italian culture from the locals. Sylvia is a great host who really cares about you and shares her friends and interests. Meeting her falcon was very exciting. If you want a place that feels like home and you want to learn about horses and country life in Italy, this is the spot. I'm leaving with many new friends. Thank you, Sylvia and your friends, as well as Alex and Laura, for this experience.

Great experience all around if you like to work with your hands and get dirty. Silvia is super friendly and respects your boundaries. She's very helpful and always pays attention to your comfort while staying here. I definitely recommend the experience with the horses and the goats and cats and turkeys and the falcon. It's an awesome place to stay and the local area is super nice too. It really helps you connect with animals and nature.

The experience was good, we really enjoyed the animals and the place is beautiful, as are the nearby towns. The work isn't heavy, but the schedules aren't very defined and sometimes constrain outings. The place is isolated and the only bicycle didn't work. The days off were different for each of us, which made it difficult to go out together with my friend. The room had unstable walls, somewhat dangerous to sleep. To cook, you had to take out and wash everything using the water from the bathroom, and the stove had only one burner.

Hi Silvina, I’m sorry to read this review, especially because during your stay these difficulties were not clearly expressed to me: if we had talked about it, we could have looked for solutions together.

The bicycle had been repaired while you were still here and remained available during the last ten days of your stay. Regarding the schedules, we have indeed gone through a particularly challenging period, also due to the loss of

It is a great opportunity to work with animals, I really enjoyed learning a lot thanks to one of the volunteers at the place who was a great support. I don't recommend it for going in pairs or as a couple. We couldn't have the same day off, preventing us from taking walks together, there were no bicycles available either, the facilities left a lot to be desired and the working hours were sometimes disorganized. Silvia often invites you to social activities that can be fun, but sometimes they interfere with the scheduled work hours and the necessary rest to work early.
