The work is really straight forward with tasks like cleaning the dishes, mopping the floors of different apts and etc... The host was very kind and respectful as me and my partner are very adventurous and she often gave us rides and very much considered our plans and tried to work her schedule around ours. That way we got to see Rome for 2 days, took many trips to festivals and museums, went to the beach and enjoyed hiking. If you volunteer here you MUST go to Bar Gelateria F.Lli Ciamponi in Scafa, ask for Dmitri and tell them Ava and Andrei sent you. Best Gelato & Secret Drink Menu ;) 11/10

Wow! What a blessing to have been able to stay on the eco village property for a whole month! Having spent so long with Nikki, Enzo, and Kingsley, I feel I have a great understanding of the efficient, hardworking, and caring people they all are! While it's not quite olive picking season this time of year, we were still eating delicious olive oil, peaches, figs, parsley, and lavender right off the property! My partner and I have very fast metabolism's and honestly eat quite a lot, however this became a funny joke between us and we were never left hungry! Perfect first WorldPackers hosts <3

This was our first volunteering experience with worldpackers and it was amazing. Nikki was very welcoming, caring, and attentive to everything we need. It's definitely a great volunteer opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture. She respects working hours, and in our free time, we were able to visit the towns around the eco village. Enzo is also fantastic, very attentive to everything we needed.

My partner Gigi and I had our first Worldpackers experience at the eco village, we spent a little over two weeks with Nikky and the crew and had a great time. the eco village as a region is mind-blowingly beautiful and we felt more immersed in local culture than if we had followed the regular Italian tourist roadmap. Nikki was a great host, who respected our hours to a tee and drove us places when possible. Enzo and Kingsley were also great work with.
