Gianni House

Working in our hostel spiritually enriches you. You will make new friends, know people from all over the world and learn how to approach guests in the best way possible! Moreover in exchange for work you will obviously have your free time to enjoy Sicily, Mt. Etna, Taormina and all the beautiful places Sicily offers.

I'm Gianni, Gianni House's manager: it is a family run hostel located in the area of Giardini-Naxos/Taormina. Our aim is to create the meeting point is Sicily, that's why we are searching for people from all over the world who can help us in our project: we deeply believe that anyone of you could be helpful to us and could add something special to our hostel! Volunteers will be treated as they're part of the family, they will have accomodation and a typical Italian breakfast included. Moreover the atmosphere here is really friendly so it will be easy to make friends with the family, the staff members and all the guests. Some of the mansions include welcoming guests at their arrival giving them tips about the places they can visit, helping them in case they need suggestions, showing them the room where they'll stay and the hostel, and finally cleaning the common areas.

I had a great experience at the Gianni House. The hosts, Gianni and Graziella, were like a true Italian family to me. Very kind and sweet who made my day brighter by their presence. The location is beautiful and very fun to live around for a short-term stay.

Thank you Gianni e Graziella!

Mi experiencia en el hostel de Gianni fue hermosa! Incluso aunque al principio tuvimos que hacer tareas que no eran las acordadas porque no había huéspedes, fue un placer para mi haber ayudado 😊
Se armó un grupo super lindo de voluntarios, cocinábamos, íbamos a la playa, paseábamos. gracias Gianni y graziella por haberme recibido! Me encantó Sicilia

I had a great time at Gianni house! Gianni and Graziella are very welcoming and nice, they try to make you discovers new things every time they can. The others volunteers made this experience incredible, since it was low seasons it’s not the place to go if you want to party but there’s is many things to visit around and the beach is really close.
The only bad thing is the bathroom it’s really small and not super convenien.

I loved my time at Gianni House I was so sad to leave, the hostel has everything you need and is really clean, the tasks are easy and we had shifts agreed ahead of time and on my days off I was able to visit other parts of Sicily. The town is quiet so if you want party place it’s not for you but it’s super peaceful and the beach is 5 minutes away. Would recommend this place always. Big thank you to everyone I met here!

I had so much fun at Gianni house! Gianni and Graziella are extremely friendly and made sure to make this a home away from home (they even helped celebrate my birthday with cake and drinks). The location of the hostel is awesome, extremely close to the beach. The work is easy and the volunteers made the experience great. There weren’t a lot of volunteers/guests towards the end of my stay, as it was low season. Overall I recommend :) grazie mille Gianni house!
