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.

Ésta ha sido mi primera experiencia como voluntaria y la verdad es que no tengo palabras para describir la gran satisfacción que me ha dejado esta experiencia. Fueron 2 semanas en las que aprendí a valorar el esfuerzo de las personas que ahí habitan. Ettore y Rosella son personas maravillosas a los que les he tomado mucho cariño y un gran respeto y admiración por la forma tan especial como me recibieron y me brindaron la confianza de entrar en su lindo la casa. Siempre estuvieron atentos a lo que yo necesitaba, me llevaron a conocer lugares con sus amigos y me brindaron una gran estadía. 🤍

Quiero expresar mi enorme gratitud por la increíble experiencia que viví durante mi voluntariado en el the guest house. Me llevo muchos aprendizajes, momentos especiales y una gran enseñanza de vida. Gracias por abrirme las puertas, por presentarme a tus amistades y permitirme conocer un poco más de tu forma de ver la vida. Más que una experiencia de voluntariado, fue una oportunidad para crecer, aprender y llevarme recuerdos que guardaré con mucho cariño. Gracias por la confianza, la generosidad y por hacerme sentir parte de una comunidad. Sin duda, me voy con el corazón lleno y una gran enseñanza.😊

Estoy muy agradecida con Ettore y su confianza al permitirme estar aquí. Las actividades a realizar no son muy complejas, pero si no entiendes algo, Ettore te lo explica las veces necesarias con mucho respeto. Es un buen host con el que puedes dialogar sobre diferentes temas. La zona es muy hermosa y pacífica , si lo que buscas es estar en contacto con la naturaleza este es el lugar correcto. Me voy muy feliz y espero poder regresar 🫶🏼
