I had a great time volunteering at Pietro's place. I helped doing gardening work like cutting hedges and bushes, shredder branches, sweep, cleaning the house, cooking together. The house and bedrooms are comfortable and very clean and is very close to the town. There are four small grocery stores where you can buy all necessary things. In addition there are two bars where you can take a drink or a cappuccino. I can recommend this and I'd like to come back for experiencing the farm in October. Thanks Pietro for this nice experience.

I had a very nice few days at Pietro's place! The house was very calm and peaceful. It was very nice cooking and sharing meals with him and the other volunteer. The work was mostly moving and cutting branches and it felt very rewarding! Pietro is very fair and understanding when it comes to work and he will always ensure you are feeling happy and listened to. I absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a nice mix of connecting with others as well as time spent working in nature. Thank you Pietro for your hospitality and kindness!

Pietro is the kind of person who really cares for others. He goes above and beyond to help volunteers feel safe and heard. He's communicative & straightforward. He'll teach you the about Italian culture. He opened his home to me & shared about his family. I was having a particularly sad day one day and he sat down and spoke with me in a reassuring way. His level of hospitality is something that will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you again for this opportunity. 🤲🏽 ❤️
