My stay with Mati went magnificently well. Working time leaves plenty of space for rest and free time. I learned a lot, especially about the benefits of plants and vegetables. Mati is a very welcoming and funny person with a contagious positive energy. I really enjoyed chatting and laughing with him. He always made sure I was well and had… read more

I appreciate Louise's presence in my home. She came to help me around the house and in the vegetable garden. She's a hard worker with a calm presence. Her willingness to learn and be of service was pleasant. We went on some nice excursions and shared some funny but interesting conversations. I would recommend her especially for guests with… read more

It has been an absolute pleasure to have Georgia here at Casa Diella. She is a bright spirit and enthusiastic to take on every task, from clearing land to cooking with the foraged goods from the land.

Mati is a wonderful host- generous, kind, knowledgeable about the land and always ready to share his wisdom and listen to the volunteers. The pace of the work was fantastic, full of time to relax and be creative, take in the surroundings and bond with eachother as well as doing work. He was enthusastic in showing us the surrounding areas and… read more

Mati is the perfect host. He appreciates the help and has such a nice positive energy. He taught me a lot about farming and wild herbs. We had so much fun making music, talking, cooking and going for adventures. For him "Fun time" is as important as the actual work. (Which was also fun). I am very thankful for the time.

I enjoyed Henriette's stay. She is a good workaway'er, interested in learning new things, social, empathic and kind. We made trips together in the afternoon so she could see the beautiful area around Nemoli. Definitely I would recommend her for other hosts.

Me and my garden are so lucky to have welcolmed Dalva, she has been a great help, she has a great sense of humor and she is really easy going, hard working and not afraid of getting her hand dirty. Thank you Dalva, I will miss our deep discussions but not as much as our silly ones.

Left by Workawayer (Sarah & Yared) for host

Where to start... We stayed with Mati for 2 weeks, mainly for the olive harvest. It was our first workaway and olive experience, and it couldn't be better! We had such fun climbing the trees and harvesting the olives together with Mati and his sister Alba. It was really a team effort and we had a really nice flow together. Afterwards they took us… read more

Yared and Sarah came over helping me with my olive harvest. It was their first time but they were super enthousiastic to work and learn about the process. They were really dedicated to the picking and not afraid of climbing in the trees and doing physical work. They were always willing to help me in any way they could! I had a very lovely time… read more

Agostina was fun to be around and very helpful in all of the various task we had to tackle. I would definitely recommend her and her gentle energy. The added pleasure of her singing and playing the guitar ukulele ect took the whole experience to a different level entirely.
Grazie Agostina e a presto
Buon viagio

I have stayed for a week with matti in her home and it was super nice. We shared a bit with his family who just dropped by for a surprise visit, and also with several of his friends. We worked in a quiet way and also enjoyed some nice moments of friendship. Playing games and even going out on Fiesta de los pueblos! Everything we shared was very… read more
