Alloggio il Giglio

I believe that every experience is unique, and with each guest and/or volunteer I have hosted at home, there was always a way to get to know and interact with them, understanding each other's experiences and cultures.

I am a lover of the rules, few ones, no drama, but to make things clear! I also like to organize parties. I ask the volunteers to look good, have punctuality, a spirit of initiative, and respect for the rules and for people. I appreciate cordial language and attitude. I love to talk with guests and volunteers, I often teach them the things I think I am proficient in, like Italian cuisine, taking care of the synergistic vegetable garden, and gardening in general. I am a financial consultant with a passion for hospitality and I simply ask for help to manage my small accommodation in the best possible way, I try to do my best so that the guests, and the volunteers, always feel at home. I don't ask volunteers to be skilled at the tasks, but I need them to have the predisposition to learn how to do the things that are needed here. Worldpacker rooms are located in the basement, with access to the back garden. It can happen to share the room with other guys, the rooms are mixed and are maximum 3 people. Sometimes I prepare some dishes for the boys, but without obligation because I am away from home many hours for work and I do not always come back early.

It was a wonderful experience, I felt welcomed and part of the team: Giogliola it's a fantastic host who encourages you to learn about sustainability and Italian culture, and the work hours/free days respected. As my first experience volunteering I'd totally recommend Alloggio Il Giglio
Schio it's a pretty little town next to the mountains but well connected and near Veneto's important cities. I did improve my Italian and my English, but above all, I learn what are the values of volunteering and hosts.
Schio and the Alloggio will always be in my heart

Volunteering with Gigliola was an amazing experience! The place is located in a very beautiful and quiet place surrounded by mountains. There were bikes available which were very convenient to visit the city centre. The workload was not too much and I had a lot of free time to explore and go on bike rides :-)

Minha experiência com a Gigliola foi incrível! Meu primeiro voluntariado e não poderia ter sido melhor. O lugar é extremamente tranquilo e a anfitriã super comunicativa, se mostrou presente em todos os momentos pra qualquer dúvida que tivesse. As tarefas são simples e a pousada é confortável e aconchegante. Muito próximo ao mercado e avenida principal, de trem/ônibus você vai pra qualquer lugar. As tarefas consistiam em manter o lugar limpo e organizado e checar duas vezes ao dia. Bastante tempo livre pra explorar Schio :)

È stato fantastico poter incontrare e collaborare con Gigliola nel suo ostello! È stata la nostra prima esperienza di volontariato e tutto è andato come avevamo concordato, siamo stati accolti molto bene e ci piace anche incontrare quelli della regione!
È stata sicuramente un'ottima esperienza per noi!
