La Bianca apartments
we offer a private studio, great food and warmth that is necessary to live abroad far from your family or your confort zone!
We live across the beach, we have so many references since we've been hosting girls for over 10 years so far!
Also, we are a very open minded family, however we always expect having very reliable and enthusiast people!
As we already said, we are very welcoming, accepting people, however we expect from our worldpackers some help around the house (in the kitchen and in/or our rentals) or with our kids when it comes to practise the language.

About the experience in: Porto potenza picena, Italy
United States
Where to even start, my time here was an experience that I will take with my forever and hope to return to in the future! Vitto & Arianna are beyond lovely, caring, and it felt like a second family. I had valuable conversations over meals while enjoying Arianna's amazing homemade food. The kids are brilliant, funny, and a great bunch who I had the pleasure of getting to form a bond with. I recommend this experience ONE MILLION percent and I hope that others are just as lucky as I was to get to have the opportunity. I will definitely be back and I thank this amazing family for their kindness!

About the experience in: Porto potenza picena, Italy

I feel so blessed to say this experience has been one of the most meaningful opportunities I have ever been given! The relationships I have grown within this family have been a great highlight of my time in Italy. This is my second time doing this experience and I recommend people who are full of energy and silliness to do this. The work is manageable and being around these kids have served me many happy memories ! <3

About the experience in: Porto potenza picena, Italy
Australia
I enjoyed my stay with Vito and Arianna, the kids were a creative and entertaining bunch. As a first-time Au Pair and Worldpacker, I found the role challenging due to high expectations, inconsistent information, and a period where I felt heavily criticised, which affected my confidence and wellbeing. Things improved as I settled in, though I remained anxious. I was also asked to work in the school, where I found the tasks confusing. I loved playing games with the children, and Arianna's cooking was always a highlight. Despite challenges, I enjoyed my stay and will miss them.

Unfortunately she struggled to engage with the children and build a positive relationship with them.After 13 years of experience hosting cultural exchange participants, we feel that family life with young children is not the best fit for her personality.There are also a couple of genuinely unpleasant incidents that could be mentioned, but we prefer not to go into further detail. We have also tons of reviews on workaway https://www.workaway.info/en/account/feedback/read

I had an amazing adventure during my stay with this family. Arianna and Vittorio are very supportive and Arianna was like a second Mom to me with how helpful and caring she was. The children themselves are easy to connect with, you just have to be good at imaginative play and not just them but you as well will have a fun time! It is also important that you have the energy to stay constantly energetic and engaged with them so the kids have the best time possible and in return you do too! I also had such an enjoyable time teaching at their English school, it's a great way to meet the locals!

My experience with this family was AMAZING! The kids are so kind, smart, and full of life and Vito and Arianna are both so awesome. My days were lovely here, I'd watch the sunrise at the beach, work out at the local gym, then be with the kids during most of the day, and get off with enough time to enjoy my night! We got the weekends off so my friend and I could travel. We got 2 delicious meals a day and we were free to make ourselves breakfast every morning. I highly recommend this experience to people who love meeting new people, are good with kids, and who love the beach and small towns!
