The Experience

Hello! 👋 We are a warm and welcoming family living on a beautiful farm surrounded by lush meadows and olive trees. Our little paradise is home to Mattia (12 years old) and Sirio (4 years old), who love growing up close to nature. 🌳✨ After years of fast-paced city life, we made the decision to slow down and embrace a lifestyle more in tune with our natural rhythms. What we want to offer you is the possibility of living with us as a family.

I had a very nice stay here and can very recommend it!! You’ll live with a beautiful family, on a very beautiful farm while you stay in a private room. We shared so many nice diners together. The food was amazing and the best I ever had. Lunch with pasta coffee wine and dessert is something I will always dream of:) we worked in the olive fields which was a very nice experience and sirio and mattia bring so much joy in the family. And the lovely dog Beth so so sweet and unlimited hugs :)) Sometimes I wished I could speak Italian, I think that would make everything nicer:

It was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was truly amazing! I learned so much from Noemi and Gabriele. Being able to closely experience Italian culture while also staying in a place surrounded by nature was a wonderful experience. The food and the environment they prepared for me were perfect. There was never a moment when the smile left our faces! Thank you so much for welcoming me so warmly!!!

The farm was absolutely lovely! It was my first Worldpackers experience and it couldn't have been better. Gabriele and Noemi welcomed me into their family with open arms and I felt as though I was sitting in as an older sister for the week. Lots of giggles with the boys, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the farm, more delicious homemade Italian meals than I can count, and a community of people centered in nature! The work was manageable and was given breaks for tea and lunch, I never felt overworked. I am leaving a piece of my heart in Italy with this amazing family 🩷 thank you all!!!

Gabriele and his family were wonderful from beginning to end, a very dear and special family, including nonno and nonna. There was no lack of fun and good food in the days I was with them, not to mention that I was able to practice Italian and fulfill my dream of harvesting olives.

A truly magical place. Gabriele's family welcomed me into their home immediately and were generous, kind and funny. If you want to immerse yourself in the joys of an Italian family, authentic culture, living in harmony with nature and improve your language, I highly recommend the farm. The community project is an inspiration and the location is beautiful. Every day we sat under an olive tree for lunch lovingly cooked by Noemi – heaven! The work was varied, some outside in nature and some indoors, with plenty of breaks. It was my first volunteer experience and it couldn't have been better.
