The Experience

The volounteer will help us with cleaning after every check-out, welcoming guests and sometimes cooking. We offer board, stay and Italian lessons if needed. Since we work a lot and have limited time, optional help with cleaning and cooking is greatly appreciated, as well as language lessons or conversation in other languages. The volounteer will share our bedroom with us so we can host just one person.

This has been my first experience as a volunteer, and the truth is that I have no words to describe the great satisfaction this experience has left me. It was two weeks during which I learned to value the effort of the people who live there. Ettore and Rosella are wonderful people whom I have grown to care for a lot, and I have great respect and admiration for the way they welcomed me and gave me the confidence to enter into their lovely house. They were always attentive to what I needed, they took me to discover places with their friends, and they gave me a great stay. 🤍

I want to express my immense gratitude for the incredible experience I had during my volunteer work at the guest house. I am taking away many lessons, special moments, and a great life lesson. Thank you for opening the doors for me, for introducing me to your friends, and for allowing me to know a little more about your view on life. More than a volunteering experience, it was an opportunity to grow, learn, and carry memories that I will treasure dearly. Thank you for the trust, the generosity, and for making me feel part of a community. Without a doubt, I leave with a full heart and a great lesson.😊

I am very grateful to Ettore and for the trust he placed in me by allowing me to be here. The activities to be done are not very complex, but if you don't understand something, Ettore explains it to you as many times as necessary with a lot of respect. He is a good host with whom you can discuss different topics. The area is very beautiful and peaceful; if what you're looking for is to be in contact with nature, this is the right place. I leave very happy and I hope to be able to return 🫶🏼
