It was my first time doing volunteering, I was a bit worried but Rosa made sure that we feel like home and she kept asking us if we needed anything.

I stayed with Rosa for 10 days on her farm in Domicella near Napoli in August 2020. The house is in a small village, there is no electricity, but we had solar lights and power bank to charge our phones. I had my own simple room and enjoyed the outdoors shower a lot. We worked from 6:30 till 11-11:30 picking hazelnuts, it was a nice relaxed work… read more

Rosa and Massimo were a wonderful first workaway experience for us! The land in Campania and Fasano was gorgeous! The olive trees were so wonderful to be working with. It was fantastic to be picking from trees that were being picked from 300 years ago. We won't soon forget the wonderful meals that they fed us as well! Overall, we loved the time we… read more

the first week was ok, but suddenly on friday evening (about 8 pm) they told us (there has been another volunteer as well) that we have to leave tomorrow in the morning, because they have to go to another part of their farm and there they are going to live in an expensive hotel, which they cannot afford for us. That was kind of surprising and at… read more

I stayed with Rosa and Massimo in November 2010. They were so welcoming and lovely!! Always with a good feed on the table, and enthusiasm to match. I enjoyed my time very much :) The scenery around montefalcione was gorgeous and Rosa and Massimo encouraged us to explore salerno and pompei on our days off. A great experience for my first workaway.

Rosa is very nice and the village is very pretty. The work went by fast every day and there was always good organic food to be enjoyed. The only downside was the cold (in the spring) but layering up and keeping the fireplace going proved to be sufficient. Their dog Fritz is very friendly also.
