As my first WorldPackers experience this was a perfect fit and an unforgettable experience. The apartment has everything and is very homey! Working on the vineyard was tough but rewarding! Guido and Silvia are such amazing people and have so many amazing stories. I spent most of my time with Guido. The island is very small and there is not much going on, but it is a nice escape from big city life. I was the only WorldPacker there and often would be working by myself. I think with more people there to explore and work with would make the experience even better! Thank you for having me!

It's hard to put into words how wonderful my time at the farm was. Silvia and Guido are such lively, open-minded and inspiring people and I learned so much from them. Not only about sustainable winegrowing, but also about growing vegetables, herbs and all sorts of plants in their beatiful garden. I could ask questions anytime and they answered them with such patience and knowledge. I'll miss our conversations, in which Silvia and Guido shared valuable life lessons with me that I'll never forget. I am incredibly grateful and can wholeheartly recommend this experience. ❤️

My stay at the farm was amazing. Silvia and Guido were really nice hosts, they made us feel very welcome. They explained the work we had to do very well and provided interesting information about the project and the nature around us. In our free time we had the chance to rent bikes from them and explore the beautiful island. Thank you for the fun and amazing time.

I had a wonderful time at the farm. Silvia and Guido were really kind and welcoming hosts who always ensured our wellbeing and made the time i spent there even better. Our work was mostly working in the big garden to get it ready for summer, but also painting and cleaning. In the afternoons and on our days off we had lots of time to explore the island. Thank you so much for this amazing and enriching experience.

This was my first experience and it was very enriching. Silvia and Guido are very friendly, with lots to share and a great deal of dedication behind their project. They explained everything to us in detail so that we could do our best in the vineyard. Also they took the time to answer our questions about gardening so we could apply it to our lives, which is very important! the farm is spectacular and was covered in snow. It's peaceful and out of a fairy tale. Thank you for welcoming me to your beautiful farm for two weeks and allowing me to be part of your daily life. Thank you!!

Dear Deva,
thank you very much for the great help and good luck with your own garden ;-). I am looking forward to see some pictures from your balcony in spring.

Everything I could've asked for in my first experience. Guido and Silvia are such nice people, and I've learned a lot, not just about the vineyard and organic farming, but also about bringing people together and how you can change your perspective on life at any age. Even though there was a lot of snow, it was really nice to get outside and spend the time well. On bad days we painted the rooms inside.
Both also always made sure we felt welcomed in their home.
I'll be forever grateful, and the farm will always have a place in my heart.

Coming to the vineyard on the farm with Guido and Silvia was the best first experience as a world packer I could have asked for. From the start, Guido and Silvia created a fun and communicative environment among me and the three other volunteers. Guido is a great teacher and both him and Silvia always came with kindness. The space they provided was very nice and tasks were relatively easy and the intention behind them was explained. Make it out if you have the chance!

Amazing stay, the accommodation is excellen, super comfy and warm (even during the harshest winter here in 15 years). Snow work was tough, but the weather was exceptional and we also did pruning, garden organisation and small renovations. Guido and Silvia are outstanding hosts, patient, great teachers, always happy to help, and full of stories. the farm is a quiet island, yet it has nice nature and beautiful views. The other volunteers were lovely too. Obrigado!

You are always welcome on our little farm.

The experience was amazing. Quiet but enjoyable. Guido and slyvia were so accommodating and made sure I knew that whenever I needed help that I could have it. The living arrangements were also amazing and allowed me to have my own private space. The vineyard itself is so beautiful and the sunsets are unbeatable. The island itself has do much character in each of its towns too!

Having the opportunity to volunteer in the farm Vin, Denmark has been a life changing experience. Gardening in the farm was very rewarding and especially relaxing. I have learnt important skills regarding the preparation of the soil and seeds to be plant and also planting itself products to be grown when the session kicks off. It is remarkable to be mention that Guido and Silvia are incredibly talented and have been for a while home, they simply cared about their volunteers so well. The farm is placed in a spectacular place surrounded by beautiful fields, a lack and all the island is wonderful.
