This was a wonderful and unforgettable experience, I recommend it 100% Gaia and his family welcome us with kindness, their children are full of energy and joy, and we had a great time with them. The place is beautiful, it is located between two small towns that you can visit walking. The work is not difficult and Gaia is flexible with the tasks and the schedule. He always makes sure that you are comfortable with the work and if you don't know how to do something, he teaches you patiently. I discovered incredible places and learned new things. Thank you for everything Gaia and family 😄

My stay at the lodge couldn't be more wonderful. The work wasn't hard, but you have to keep in mind that it can sometimes be physically challenging when it comes to the repair and construction. The schedule is very flexible and you can arrange it for your own needs. The place is stunning, you can go on hikes around the place and visit some of the nearby towns in your free time. I only have gratitude for Gaia and his family for their kindness and making us part of their family for the time we stayed there.

My experience in the lodge was wonderful! Gaia is really understanding and flexible with your working hours. Him and his wife Marketa are really welcoming. They treated me like part of the family since the beginning. I had a lot of fun with their crazy kids Adam and Elena, and also Dory their dog, an infallible company. They all have a beautiful energy and made my stay an unforgettable experience. Thank you guys for such an enriching and joyful time together!! Hope we meet again

I absolutely loved my time with Gaia and his family. The perfect place to take an extra breath after running around between different hostels and absorb the rural Italian life. Daily activities include mowing the grass and caring for the chickens, but there's usually a special project on the go as well!(YAY TREEHOUSE) I wish I could have stayed so much longer❤️❤️ I hope to visit again soon!! Thank you for everything.🥰🌞

My experience at the lodge was a great one. Gaia (and his entire family) is very caring and accommodating. He has many great stories to tell, and will try to make sure you feel at home. The workload was manageable. It varies depending on the time of year, but my tasks included: watering the garden and feeding the chickens, painting a deck, cleaning the big dome and helping in the kitchen. I was always given instructions on what to do and Gaia was there to help me if I had questions. One thing to keep in mind is the remoteness of the property. I would make sure to pack a book or such.

Dear Andrei, thank you for your kind words and positive review. Our whole family felt very fortunately to get to know you and experience the the times together. Your tasks were not always easy, but you managed all of them with joy and ease. I regret there were no other volunteers during most of your time. That would certainly make our isolated farm feel more fun. I appreciate you and wish you all the best with future worldpackers experiences.
