I had the most amazing time at this place. Riccardo is a wonderful, caring, super kind and very special man. He was very welcoming and from the first moment I felt at home.

My experience with Riccardo was wonderful!
In the morning I was working in the garden or I was cleaning the apartments. I really loved gardening, with the company of the two cats and some nice music in my ears. Also, sometimes Riccardo was interrupting me for giving me pizza or ask me if I wanted anything. It was super nice!
In the afternoon I was… read more

My no-experience with Gemma was awful.
Unreliable. She reserved his workaway 4 weeks in advance, sent two confirmation messages and the night before she sent me a strange message saying she can't. I refused so many requests during this period, plus a very good workaway that was already here would have loved to stay more days. She didn't even call… read more
