Piero was more than a perfect host! He made us feel at home all the time. We spend two weeks there, doing the olive harvest. We learned about olives and oil, and many other things! The house is beautyfull and confortable.
He's got lots of friends in the sorroundings so we we're always meeting new people, shearing dinners, leaving the real Spain!… read more

This was my first workaway experience it was truly a lovely time. I was at Piero and Roberta's for less than a week and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. They made me and the other 3 workawayers who were there feel very much at home, giving us our own time and space but also taking us on excursions to see the area, introducing us to friends,… read more

Rachel was an amazing workaway, very capable and extremely modest. She was an excellent worker and while she was us she helped us with the vegetable garden and many other jobs around the farm.

Lovely people, impeccable food made by Roberta!!!! We ate mostly out of their wonderful garden. The work was physically demanding, but the fabulous pool makes it all worth it after working in the Spanish sun! I don't speak Italian or Spanish, but both Piero and Roberta were very gracious and kind to me! They made me feel like part of the family… read more

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!!

I worked on the farm at the same time as Martin and can confirm everything he said.
