The Experience

Ibbaluna is a portion of Nature with olive groves, orchards, carob groves, pomegranate trees, mulberries, cypresses, pines, meadows and many other plants that inhabit this little paradise. There is always something to do: tending the vegetable plots and gardens, harvesting the fruits when it's time, managing the chicken coop, taking care of the animals, performing maintenance and construction of spaces and useful objects with recycled materials, and much more. Here we learn while having fun :)

My experience at the reserve was wonderful. From the very beginning, Stefania was in contact and made my arrival very pleasant. They picked me up to take me to the reserve, showed me the facilities, and assigned me a bed. I shared the week with girls from other countries, which honestly felt too short. The meals were delicious and nutritious. Our activities included building a house and helping to tidy the garden. On our free day, Stefania took us for a walk in a beautiful forest. I left with a very happy heart. Thank you for everything!

It's hard to find the words to express how impactful my experience at the reserve was. The energy at the reserve was magical and allowed me to learn so much about myself as well as how to work closely with others in a team. With Stefania, along with the other volunteers, we created a beautiful community that I will cherish forever. the reserve quickly became a home to me. Grazie, Stefania 💕

My volunteering experience here was perfect. I spent time with other volunteers and Stefania in a beautiful house and garden, and it brought me so much mental and emotional healing. Working barefoot in the garden made me feel connected with nature, and it was wonderful. It was truly amazing — almost like a dream — to see how we, a group made up entirely of women, could build a house together. Stefania's dance classes were beyond words — absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a break from their busy life and wants to share warm and meaningful memories.

My stay at Stefania's, at the reserve, was more impactful on my very being than I could have ever anticipated. I came expecting to be just appreciated hands for work. And that I was-I got to work on projects that helped the space and made me learn plenty. But more importantly-I grew so much as a person from the community we've built with other volunteers as well. All the shared meals, the tasks done together, conversations both enlightened and silly- will impact me forevermore. With Stefania as our soul-guide, the garden as our friend - I will forever consider the reserve my home. Grazie di cuore❤☀️
