My experience at Casa dell Erbe was beautiful. I spent 3 and a half weeks there. Piero is a very relaxed and easygoing person, he transmits peace. Very knowledgeable about his crafts and willing to share. Loyal to his Italian roots, the guy can cook. I couldn't meet Roberta, but I have a feeling that I will return soon and meet her.

Jake was a great help while he was here! Although it was his first experience of this kind of situation, he settled in really quickly and threw himself into the jobs. If you need someone for full-on physical labour is the guy for you..he has endless energy, is great around animals and is really keen to learn about everything. Totally recommend!!
