The Experience

We are two brothers, one a photograph and the other a musical therapist that are running our family's farm in the hills just 20 minutes from Florence. We are looking for volunteers that will help us with the many tasks on the property. Ideally you like to work and are have practical capacities. Experience with tools, farm equipment and a willingness to find solutions are a plus.

I felt completely at home at the farm with Paolo and Davide. We communicated very well about the daily tasks. Most of the time, I helped clear vegetation from an access road, and on some days I also helped level and improve the road. Both Paolo and Davide invited me to spend time with their friends and families. We had dinners together, shared stories, opinions and experiences, and I really enjoyed getting to know them. You simply can't get bored around these two, as they know so many interesting things, and I genuinely enjoyed our conversations. Thank you both for everything.

My experience at the farm was great. It's a beautiful place surrounded by nature, and it's easy to go to Florence, a marvelous city. Davide and Paolo are great and they were very nice with us, allways making us feel confortable, they gave us recommendations about the city, other things, and invited us to meet their friends. Everyone else in the house was also very kind. We had a great experience and we hope to come back

Our stay at the farm was phenomenal—a place surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes. Paolo and Davide are incredible people; they made us feel like part of the family. They gave us great advice for visiting Florence and even invited us to spend time with their friends. We had a wonderful time. Florence is nearby and very easy to get to. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Best regards and warm memories

My experience was great! The two brothers are very nice! they give clear and simple instructions for the activities. The other people living there are also very kind. The place is beautiful, and the view and landscape are wonderful. They have lovely pets, a loyal dog and a cute cat. Everything was good, and they make you feel like part of their family! The only thing is the distance to Florence, but you just need to walk that's all. It was a great experience! They are very good people and they care about your well-being. Thank you very much.
