the town varraze is really lovely, & easy to walk to by foot; matti was a spectacular host, showing me parts of the town, the local Saturday market, along with introducing me to some of his friends. his visions for the future are abundant and filled with beautiful ways of bringing people together, providing healing through different modalities, and providing real food that nourishes the deep body. he is an incredible & creative chef, i am inspired to (attempt to) recreate the dishes!! it felt really beautiful to eat from the land he has been stewarding for many years. i look forward to visiting again, grazie mattie! :)Este workawayer ha decidido que su perfil sea privado, pero otros workawayers pueden ponerse en contacto con él para hablar de este comentario.

I am very grateful for living my first Workaway with Mattia. The farm has a wonderful view and the city/sea of Varazze is very nice. I felt very welcomed from the begining. We shared a lot together and especially delicious typical food such as focaccia, gnocchi, pizza and of course fresh tomatoes and figues from the garden.
Working in the farm
… read more was also a pleasure, there are many different tasks to do, to take care of the land and get it organized. The work is not difficult as long as you avoid the heat, and will be rythmed by some "tranquilla".
I will for sure remember many things Mattia teached me, about sustainable growing but also about life in general! I wish you all the best for all the projects you have!

Stayed at Mattia's for three weeks, and as all other feedback states, I can only agree that it was more than a great experience. He is a person of kindness, shows comfort from the very first meet, and easy to collaborate with. The work is both diverse and self-managing, some days working collaborative and some days by oneself. During my time I did

Apart from work we spend a lot of good moments together, some exploring the nearby areas, meeting his friends and a lot of cooking great food enjoying his beatiful land!
Thanks for this time, and see you soon again !Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Sharing the Italian farm lifestyle with Kat was a pleasure; we enjoyed fantastic homemade dinners filled with flavors from the garden, shared with friends. Her sense of humor is undoubtedly one of her standout qualities. Kat effortlessly identifies art in every corner and generates numerous intriguing ideas to enhance the places she visits.
Pistillo misses your cuddles and attention dearly, but he knows you'll reunite with him soon. I highly recommend Kat if you're looking to elevate your space in various ways.

I am truly grateful for such an increadible experience with Mattia in Italy through Workaway. He warmly welcomed me into his home where I felt immediately great.

We shared moments of skating, yoga, and walks, creating unforgettable memories. His beautiful animals, especially Pistillo the cat, added joy to the experience. The Italian traditions, delicious food, and BBQs, along with meeting other locals, enriched my journey. I'm truly grateful for this unique and enriching adventure with Mattia, hoping our paths cross again. Big love to Pistillo, the coolest cat, and the ever-smiley Dafne and Caesar.

Hosting Hanna and her two dogs during autumn was a great experience! She provided essential help in running my farm, starting with saffron flower collecting that took us several days, from morning to evening. My olive trees send a big thanks for your pruning, done in a really meticulous way.

My stay at Mattias farm was one of the most enriching experiences and adventures of my trip around Europe. Mattia is a fondly person with such a huge knowledge about permaculture and gardening in general and he‘s always pleased to convey it. I learned so many new things for example how to cut olive trees (it was my main task at my first trip to
… read more Mattia‘s), many information about planting Saffron and CBD and of course about the harvest as well (my main task at my second stay). Beyond Mattia shared almost everything with me, he invited me to barbecue and birthday parties , shopping tours to special plantshops and of course he offered every day typical italian dishes (that always Tasted amazing!) most times with vegetables and herbs of his garden. Mattia is a lovely, consciously and attentive person who appreciates to be honest and have always clear and reflected talks with another. My stay at Mattia‘s farm was memorable and I will definitely return at least a third time so I can completely recommend a workaway experience at Mattias farm in Ligurien!
Dear Mattia grazie mille per tutto, I felt so much welcome at your farm, with you, your Family and all your fondly pets! I‘m sooo much pleased to have you as a friend in Ligurien ☺️

Matti has a beautiful permaculture project with great potential! The work to be done is very practical and precise. we used a list of things and that helps to organize! very focused actions, and when you work you work. and also very concrete in the two days off. the good thing is that he has many tools and you learn a lot with the information he

We didn't share much time together because he had taken a job that consumed most of his day and because he was in other meetings. Some deep reflections in moments of crossings in the house. In the human relationship I could say that we had our good encounters and also our disagreements.
In the village I could enjoy the beach because it is about a 15min walk from his house and the train station is also very close!
Matti, may your project grow a lot! it is amazing.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

My Workaway experience with Mattia was incredible. I learned so much and made unforgettable memories. He's not just a host; he's a true friend.

Our stay with Mattia was an amazing experience, from the minute we hopped on his van when he came to pick us up at the train station he made us feel at home. As a former workawayer, he knew how to make us feel comfortable. Matti worked with us hand by hand teaching us about permaculture and nature, he shared with us his friends and family, his

Matti, my friend, you know that in Argentina you have more than one house where you can feel at home. We can only thank you for the amazing experience of living in Varazze and wish you the best of lucks on your many projects.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Mattia was our first host and we had really great weeks together. He is an open minded person and spent a lot of time with us showing us the best places of Varazze.
The work wasn't that hard, we cooked a lot of good food and always felt comfortable and welcomed around him and his amazing dogs.
You can reach Varazze and the beach by walking and

We had several days off, met Mattia's friends and spent comfortable evenings together.
We always felt like we could be ourselves and adress everything we felt like talking about. He quickly became not just a host, but a good friend.
So if you are considering visiting Matti we would definitely recommend it, maybe we will come back some day to see the flowering Safran field or his (by then hopefully) realized dream of an on B&B.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
