It was an incredible experience, I met wonderful people and places. I worked practically the whole time at the restaurant, which was very fun and dynamic, despite being quite exhausting. I wish I had more time to connect with my spirituality and manage to attend yoga classes, but working different shifts to serve the restaurant's customers ended up keeping me busier with work. Still, they were unforgettable weeks!

I could recommend this experience to all volunteers. It's an experience whose can deeply change yourself. The community is really welcoming and help you if you need something. I didn't know anything about Krishna consciousness and so many people took time to tell me more about. I'm leaving the villa with great memories, amazing meetings. And I hope to go back there one day.

The villa is a great place to meet new people, feel more connected to the environment, learn more about spirituality, lend a hand to the local community by doing social work, and learn new recipes in the kitchen… it's a really pretty and welcoming place with amazing people that really make you feel at home :)) I loved seeing how much the whole community does to help Florence's homeless people and at the same time work their hardest to make the villa as sustainable as possible!

I had the most amazing time at Villa vrindanvana! Everyone here is so kind, welcoming and caring! This was my first experience with Krsna consciousness, and for me it was very englightening and inspiring. From the first day I was there I was able to get envolved and feel like I was apart of their beautiful community. I have learned so many things from my experience here and I hope to return to the villa someday!

My 17-day stay at Villa Vrindavan was a deeply enriching experience. Nestled in the Tuscan hills, it provided the perfect sanctuary to explore spirituality and self-consciousness.
The community was incredibly welcoming, immediately making me feel like part of the family. By pure coincidence, my visit aligned with several festivals, and the team warmly encouraged me to participate in every aspect. Whether through the vibrant celebrations or the daily routines, their inclusive approach turned my stay into a profound journey of connection and growth.

We have done many volunteer experiences, but this one was by far the beeeeest! The people are amazing, we had the chance to connect with many devotees and learn about the religion. We were treated with so much respect, kindness, and care. We will remember this volunteer experience foreverrrr! And I definitely want to come back one day speaking Italian to learn even more and more. Thank you, Mattia, and thank you the community for this incredible experience!

Staying at the community was such a unique and enriching experience for me. At first it can be a little overwhelming but if you give it a chance, you will get used to it and in the end, you will leave this place with a broadened horizon and new, interesting perspectives on the world. I really enjoyed learning more about Hare Krishna and taking part in the ceremonies and philosophy classes. Especially going to Harinam in Florence was amazing. And a huge plus is of course the amazing food! Thank you for this unforgettable experience 🫶🏻✨

I had an amazing Time at the community where I was able to experience and learn about a way of living I had never come into contact with. The Villa is a beautiful place with stunning nature around. Mattia is very friendly, always open for questions and a very inviting host who cared about my wellbeing both physically as well as mentally. My personal highlights are the sunday Ceremonies in the Temple, which alot of people are celebrating together and the food is always amazing. The Tasks are very enjoyable although they include a lot of cleaning. Alltogether i recommend a stay at the Villa(:

My experience at this Hare Krishna Hindu spiritual temple has been truly meaningful. I was warmly welcomed into a peaceful and supportive community, surrounded by beautiful nature. The lively ceremonies include chants, music, and dance, being a true highlight and creating a powerful sense of connection. My daily tasks included cleaning, kitchen help, and caring for cows, all in a collaborative environment where I felt valued. The vegetarian food was delicious, prepared with care. Thank you Mattia for your guidance, support and presence. This is a place filled with joy and positive energy. ❤️
