The experience I had at the home was unforgettable. The peace and tranquility one finds is a truly valuable experience. The work was not unbearable or futile and being able to contribute upkeep to such a beautiful place makes all the time spent relaxing even more valuable. Francesco and Valeria were wonderful hosts who ensured me and my colleagues felt welcome and cared for. I couldn't recommend this experience enough.

If you like nature you will love Villa Capparrella, Francesco's family is respectful and very nice, willing to solve problems and ask about your interests, I had a wonderful summer in this place and Yethro is a very friendly and fun doggie .

Francesco is a wonderful and kind host who made everyone feel very respected and made an effort to get to know each traveller. His family Julia and Valeria are also great and have a wicked sense of humour.

I think this is a very good experience for those who love nature, the lake, reading... The work is not hard, you have a lot of free time, so I recommend taking a book or a notebook to spend the afternoons at the lake. Valeria is a nice person, sometimes communication was difficult because I didn't speak Italian, but little by little we understood each other very well. I also have to say that the person who goes should take the opportunity to live with the other volunteers, you will learn more than you think.
