Join the host in pursuit of these goals and contribute to building a better and more sustainable future for all.
The project is to create the basic conditions for a rural community-ecovillage in Morano Calabro fixing old houses and creating new ecological and sustainable jobs. Morano is one of the most beautiful village in south Italy where it is possible to buy cheap, ancient houses made with stones. The help is mainly in renew old houses and maintenance of olive groves, these works are in Morano Calabro and the near village Castrovillari.

I had a wonderful two weeks meeting international travellers, making friends and learning new skills. the eco village Colabro, itself, is a beautiful and peaceful place. The accommodation is lovely and cozy with a nice kitchen, bathroom and living space. Francesco is a really nice man with good humour and friendly demeanour. You must work hard but the work is enjoyable and social. Would love to do it again.

I loved this experience, the eco village is a beautiful place with wonderful people, it's a very laid back and relaxing environment, don't expect to have a busy week because it's a very small town with only one bar two shops. The house is a beautiful massive antique place with a view. I will never forget the cosy nights by the fireplace with other volunteers. Francesco is a very strict but also sweet and silly guy. He also let us look after one of his wonderful cats, which was the sweetest thing ever. The work is not hard and you take brakes, the views from the olive fields makes up for it.

Had a really positive experience the eco village. Was my first Worldpackers experience and I was here for a month. I met some really awesome people, and the town itself is quiet towards the winter period but still beautiful. On days off, you can take the bus to explore other nearby towns such as civita and castrovillari as we did. Work itself is fast-paced and hard, but it's only 15 hours a week. I mostly did olive picking, but we'd work longer hours so you'd get more days off to relax or explore. In the 4 weeks I was there, I only needed to work 6 days to make up my hours. Grazie Francesco :)

Francesco is a very direct person, but he cares about your stay. Keeps you informed about the next day's schedule the day before. It is important to know that the residence is not in the same place as the olive plantation, but the house and the village where we stayed are very interesting, it makes you experience the local culture. Working hours are usually concentrated in one or two days, leaving plenty of free time to get to know the region, which requires studying the possibilities as there are only buses in the neighboring city. I had a good experiencie and meet nice people there :)

As my first worldpacking experience I would say it went really good. I learnt many things on the olive fields and had a really good time at the eco village. Francesco is great and cooks really good, also the palazotto became a really good place for spending time with other worldpackers and just chill.
