This was my first work away experience and it went great. Francesco is always willing to share and explain things about the culture or the history of Italy and its regions. Do not be afraid to ask if you need something; laundry, an extra blanket, anything, he will provide it if he has it. Halfway through the stay we moved from the farm land in Piacenza to his other house in Diano Marina. The work was similar, but the place is stunning. Very much recommend it if you like to work with your hands and enjoy hiking around.

My experience with Francisco was delightful. From the moment I arrived, he was attentive to my needs and explained in detail the tasks I was to perform. The location is a bit outside the city, but this wasn't a problem, as the accommodations are very pleasant and Francisco drove me around.

Something I particularly appreciated was Francisco introducing me to his family, which I found wonderful because it allowed me to better understand the culture and essence of this part of Italy.

Thank you, Francisco, and I hope we meet again!

_This was my first experience as a volunteer, and it couldn't have been better. Communication with Francesco is always clear and open; he's a very razonable person. I learned many new activities, and he always had the time and patience to do them. The work is dynamic, yet easy to organize with your free time.
I hope to return.
