L'expérience avec Roberto a été intéressante. Même si je n'ai au final pas beaucoup travaillé chez lui, il m'a fait connaître cette femme exeptionnelle Alessandra qui habite proche de la côte. J'ai eu le plaisir de partager toutes les tâches à faire dans son auberge.

Expect an authentic Tuscan farm stay!! There is a bit of dirt, not everything is super clean, lack of water and hot water showers but it is not unbearable!! Roberto was incredibly welcoming to me and I am very grateful for his hospitality and cooking.

I spent about 9 days with Roberto, Alessandra, and Fiorella. They are amazing amazing people, and I am lucky to have them as new friends and to have worked with them.

The work entailed clearing overgrowth around olive trees, cutting wood, moving wood, clearing grass around vegetables. From these simple tasks, I learned from each of them about… read more

The experience at Roberto's place was challenging. He is an interesting person but his lifestyle is quite particular.
There were some issues like lack of water, missing wifi, and the overall hygienic conditions mainly in the WC and in the kitchen.

The time at Roberto was a challenge as I was looking for it. For me these were new activities, a completely different environment and a life in unfamiliar circumstances.

Living and working with Roberto was a truly authentic Tuscan experience. The food was honest home cooking. The banter around the house was just what you might expect from hard working italians. Harvesting olives was straight out of a novel, though hours sometimes exceeded the amount listed in the profile. And Roberto himself was a fountain of… read more

I think of my time in Tuscany with Roberto often, and in my ten months that I spent in Italy, this was my favourite experience. The farm itself is quite rustic, water temperature can be very temperamental - but for me this was no issue and all part of the experience! I was made to feel so so welcome.
It was so interesting for me to go through the… read more

This was the first experience on workaway for me and it was great. It was very interesting to see how the olive cultivation works and especially the process of milling. It is a very beautiful piece of nature in the tuscany with cypresses and large vineyards and olive groves around there.
Thank you very much Roberto for the possibility to stay… read more

This workaway is perfect for anyone who is not looking for a comfortable place to stay, but for a different adventure.

Life in the hills of Poggio Antico is simple, but healthy.
The host Roberto knows the community around him.
We visited a guy who produces beautiful pottery or talked to people passing by in the car.

Again, it was just wonderful spending whole days out in the beautiful olive fields, up on the trees, down doing the "networking" and enjoying the company of Roberto, Macella and the Co-Volunteer Colby.
I love this place a lot so I keep returning :)
Some things never change, but still, every day is new there and life never gets boring :)

I spent two weeks with marcella and Roberto and had an amazing time. The work can be hard and there was no wifi or hot water but I really enjoyed it anyway. The food was amazing and Roberto was a great host taking us into Siena an Venice. It was a great chance to experience some Italian culture instead of tourist stuff. I wish I had stayed longer.… read more

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Erin) para o anfitrião

I spent just a little over a week with Roberto and I wanted to cancel my ticket to Australia and stay for a month! I arrived for the first week of November when olive picking was just getting started. I shared a room with another worker in the house and had breakfast with Roberto and his wife Marcelo. I had spent two weeks traveling in other parts… read more of Italy, and every time I tried to speak Italian, people would speak English back because they knew I was English speaking. But Marcelo only speaks Italian so it was a great way to practice! But eh end of the week, I could understand the majority of what she was saying and could very brokenly respond. And she was just hilarious and singing very heartily all the time. She made some amazing meals and there was always plenty.

While I was there more and more workers arrived, including some of Roberto's friends from Venice, who also spoke mostly Italian but wanted to practice language with us. His neighbors arrived to help as well. It was such an amazing thing to see all these people arrive to help Roberto with his olives. You could tell this was a great traditional event for people from the city to move out to the country to pick. It was also evident that all these people returned not only for the tradition, but because they had such high respect and admiration for Roberto. And I have joined their team! No matter how stressed he was about getting the olives in before the rain came, he was gentle spoken and very kind.

Sometimes we would pack a picnic and take it with us and eat under the trees, take a little nap, then work until it was getting dark. Picking olives doesn't always seem like hard work, because you're either chatting away with your picking team about whatever or in a quiet reflective silence, but you feel it at the end of the day and sleep so well. Rotating jobs makes the work pass easily. Crawling on the ground to pick fallen olives, spreading nets, combing the branches, climbing in the trees or ladders, and gathering the nets into crates makes the time pass quickly. We did start bringing snacks with to get us through until lunch time. There was a pool at the top of the hill we could use as well. No one else would join the Icelandic working and I in the slightly chilly waters, but it was refreshing. There was nothing more rewarding than the first lunch we all had together made of pasta covered in our newly pressed oil.

Roberto has some Internet access, but it was easier to just go into town maybe twice a week to find wifi or use the library (you need a cell phone to get a wifi password at the library). There are quite a few nice little restaurants to get a glass of wine and check emails. If you go into montesepoli, look for the little store that sells new wine. You can get bottles filled and corked for just a few euros.

I would love to go back every year to Roberto's to help pick olives. It was an ideal Tuscany adventure!

Iff you wanna spend some time with Roberto perhaps you have to know some things about the work. The place is at 10 km from Montespertoli and Certaldo, more or less, so if you wanna know some places of Tuscany perhaps you are the difficulty of the distance. But if you need to arrive at some place, Roberto can help you.

I stayed more than 2 weeks here and it was a really good experience. Sharing the life of Roberto and Marcella, thats totally different than my own one.
I never worked such a long time outside!
