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.

I really enjoyed my stay and can highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Italian culture and life in the countryside better. Gabriele and his family gave me a warm welcome, and we spent a lot of time together even outside of “working hours.” My apartment was lovingly furnished, and the food was also very delicious. Knowing at least the basics of Italian is helpful to really be able to communicate with everyone. But even without speaking Italian, everything worked out great for me. I had a lot of fun — thank you so much for the wonderful time!

My stay with the farm and Gabriele's family exceeded all expectations I had of life on an olive farm and I would genuinely recommend it to anyone looking to reconnect with nature/be immersed in Tuscan culture:) I immediately felt welcomed into their family and cherished the time spent with them over amazing meals. They are generous, flexible and make an effort to make you feel as though you are living at home. Basic Italian skills are recommended but not needed at all to laugh and enjoy the wonders of the farm. Grazie the farm family❤️

This lovely family truly integrates you, making you part of their own. Delicious, typical Italian dishes are carefully prepared with the best and sustainable ingredients. They strive for a better world and do their part. If you want to experience an Italian family and love the countryside, animals, and children, this is a truly great place to be. I learned a lot of Italian, about plants, and the social initiatives they participate in. I felt like part of the family. They are flexible, happy, and genuinely make you feel at home. A typical Italian Sunday awaits you! Thank you, all four of you.

My experience with this family has been wonderful! I felt welcomed and at ease from the very first day.

It is an excellent volunteering experience if you like nature, learning, Italian food (very delicious), and a family-friendly environment. Gabrielle and Noemi are excellent hosts; they share their space and their family with you, they teach you the tasks you must perform. For some, I had no experience and they were very kind. It is a quiet, rural place with many animals. I would 100% recommend this experience. You immerse yourself in the daily life of an Italian family.
