I really enjoyed my time here. The tasks were simple: preparing breakfast in the mornings and watering the plants in the afternoons, with room checks and occasional cleaning. For me it was easy and manageable. What made it truly special were the hosts: Nico, Diane, Mara and little Leo welcomed me like family and made me feel right at home:) The accommodation was comfortable and the food was really good. The place is very close to a beautiful beach and surrounded by nature. There are buses and trains nearby if you need to get around. I truly recommend it!!

I had a great experience volunteering at the guest house Colorado. The team is really friendly and welcoming, the working hours are respected, and I had plenty of free time to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the area, spend days at the beach, and visit Siracusa. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, and it was a great opportunity to experience the region at a slower pace. I definitely recommend this volunteering experience!

It was a real pleasure having Nataly with us at Nido Colorado! 🌸 She was kind, helpful, respectful, and always ready to lend a hand with a positive attitude. We are very happy she enjoyed her experience with us. She was a lovely presence and we would be happy to welcome her back anytime! ❤️

I stayed at the guest house for 3 weeks and had an amazing time. Nick, Diane and Mara are wonderful people and the communication was always open and warm! I'm excited to see what comes next and will definitely be back!! The schedule allowed enough time to explore Siracusa, enjoy the beach or the spacious terrace/ garden. I worked 5h/ day 5 days/week. Sometimes the working hours were split into 2 shifts which gave me time to go to the beach or relax. The train/bus that takes you to Siracusa frequently not through the night tho. I recommend checking rental cars if you have specific plans.

My first volunteering experience could not have been better!!! 🫠 I had an incredible month living in Fontane Bianche, with the sea 5 minutes away, visiting the surrounding Baroque towns and simply the nature surrounding the house. The work hours were always respected and, in reality, it didn't feel heavy. I had plenty of free time to enjoy. Diane, Nico and Mara welcomed me very well, they are amazing people, we had good communication, shared time and pleasant conversations. I hope to be able to repeat it on a future occasion 🥰
