Go go go here!!! I'm writing this review now with such a big smile on my face. If you are looking for a local/social experience and working in the olive field and also just want a good time, go go go here!!! I had the most amazing week with leandro and Sandra. They are the sweetest hosts and will do anything to make your stay amazing. We would 'start working' at 9, which means we left at 11, did some work, had lunch, some more work (amazing views!!!) and go back, where always amazing food was waiting for us. They took us on so many trips. Ps. Bring warm clothes for the evening!! I loved it:))

Such a fun experience! Harvesting olives is hard work but very rewarding and enjoyable when Leandro is your boss! Sandra, Leandro, Angela, Giuseppe, and Giordano were great hosts with so much energy and zest for life, and their love for Abruzzo is contagious! We ended up harvesting for 5 days, and then had time to explore the region (biking, hiking, wine festival, pasta party). The food was amazing, come with an empty stomach! Make sure to bring clothes you don't mind getting stained, and room in your suitcase to bring olive oil home! Grazie mille per tutto, mia famiglia italiana!!
