Building their own houses, letting the animals run free, feeding all their guests, cooking with fresh vegetables from their garden and the village markets and having the view of gorgeous mountain slopes and orange tree fields - it's difficult to summarize such a unique experience. Franco and his 'slaves' (volunteers) are more than welcoming and enjoy the small moments and details of life. Go there with an open mind! It's fascinating to learn of their way of life, and the dogs will walk YOU. Make sure you bring warm clothing in winter, and ask Franco to show you how to make Tortellini :)
