We stayed at Piero and Roberta's finca from september 26th to november 22th of 2020.

Piero saved us from a terrible first experience with another workaway host. At the beginning we planned to stay with him only for two weeks, but the experience turned out so well we end up staying for almost two months.

The finca is gorgeous and peaceful,… read more

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.

My husband, our Bali dog and I spent an incredible sunny week volunteering at Piero's olive farm in Enguera and we fell in love with the place. The spirit of Workaway is well and alive here. Piero is one of the best hosts and the most beautiful and interesting soul we've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

We worked alongside a lovely Dutch… read more retiree and three Argentinian volunteers. The work was physical but nothing too strenuous: we cleared the land to prepare for the upcoming olive picking, chopping off young shoots and moving rocks. The accommodation was warm, spacious, clean and comfortable. The charming house is powered by solar energy--electricity and wifi can get sketchy sometimes, but we didn't mind being off-grid at all. In the afternoons, I practiced yoga by the natural swimming pool in the cool breeze and picked almonds and figs fresh off the trees. Evenings are spent in the centre of the village, with a glass of local wine or beer and great conversations. At night the sky is lit by billions of stars.

Every day I put my journalistic nose to good use, bombarding him with endless questions about life, culture, food, and everything under the sun, all of which he graciously replied. Every conversation I had with him was a learning experience. He's a wealth of knowledge and is kind and generous in every way: teaching us about life in an olive farm, working alongside us with great enthusiasm, making us feel at home, cooking delicious hearty Italian food (and never complaining about having to adjust to accommodate the three vegan Workawayers), showing us around Enguera and its breathtaking surroundings, taking us to natural swimming holes, introducing us to his social circle--the friendliest locals ever, educating us about foraging in the wild and the medicinal benefits of various plants, among countless other unforgettable experiences. He also organized a very special afternoon with his friends, one of whom cooked us "gachamiga", the traditional dish of Enguera--a true spectacle. His cabinet is full of homemade goodies--honey from his hardworking bees, liqueurs and medicinal oils from his herb garden and jams from his fruit trees--all of which he was more than happy to share with us.

We didn't get to meet his wife Roberta, but we're already planning our next visit: the olive harvest and pressing! Come with an open heart and mind and learn from Piero. And try your hardest to give more than you'll receive at this farm.

Thank you, Piero, for your generosity, wisdom and friendship! Our home in Valencia is always open for you and your family.
