Casa di Carlo
If you're looking for a genuine, warm experience immersed in the Sicilian lifestyle, I would be happy to welcome you into my home!
I am looking for cheerful and responsible volunteers who want to experience an authentic cultural exchange and also learn Italian!
We will cook Italian food together and stroll through the streets of this beautiful city.
I am an active, dynamic person with a strong desire to share my culture and the beauty of my homeland.
With me you'll have a guaranteed local guide! And if you have a driver's license, we'll go on some day trips (Daytrip)!

About the experience in: Libero consorzio comunale di Siracusa, Italy
Spain
I arrived at this house thinking it would be just another volunteering experience, but it turned out to be so much more than that: it became another home and, above all, another family.
During my stay I met wonderful people who ended up becoming family to me: a new mom, a new friend, and a grandpa I will always keep in my heart. I carry memories, moments and, above all, a lot of affection.
I recommend this volunteering with all my heart, not just for the experience but for the people who make it feel like your home. Carlos, a wonderful man, my friend ❤️ thank you for all your love

My experience with Carlo was wonderful; Carlo is a superb person: he welcomes with great kindness and is incredibly available! I learned a lot, I laughed, and I formed beautiful friendships with the other volunteers. It was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have gone better. It's fascinating to listen to Carlo talk about his life and his travels! I would come back a million times! A big hug, Carlo! Thank you so much for the wonderful month spent at your home!

From the start I was assigned tasks that greatly exceeded what is expected for a volunteer position. The agreed schedules and weekly days off were not respected. The workload was constant and the responsibilities increased without prior agreement. Furthermore, Carlo's needs required a level of assistance and availability that, in my opinion, goes beyond the role of a volunteer and more closely resembles the work of a caregiver or hired assistant. I think it is important that future volunteers are aware of these conditions before committing.

Carlo is an absolutely generous person: the first thing he told me was: 'this is your house, so feel free' - He cooks delicious and varied meals, he likes to have his espresso mid-morning, go for walks, especially after dinner on days with very hot weather. He knows how to enjoy life, he has traveled a lot and has an admirable will. I connected with other volunteers and for a few weeks we were family❤️. My experience was wonderful. I will always be grateful to Carlo, I hope to return soon.

Spending a month with Carlo was a wonderful experience. For me, he has become more of a family member than a simple host. He is a truly kind and caring person, who does everything with love and always has your best interests at heart.
We explored countless places together, visited wonderful monuments, shared delicious meals and, thanks to him, I improved my Italian. It has been one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had and I would really recommend it to anyone. I will always carry Carlo in my heart with so much affection🩷

Saskia is a very well-mannered, educated girl. She has shown a lot of respect for my home and a lot of understanding of my age. Surely she has a permanent place in her heart. I miss you very much. You were wonderful; you cared about me and I am proud of you, and you are lucky whoever will host you next. I will miss your laughs a lot. I believe I will meet you again. Bye, a long hug, Carlo.
