The Experience

I am looking for a responsible, practical person willing to learn. I offer an experience in Lecce in a historic house, with a private room and contact with travelers. The work is not heavy but requires care and attention. I am looking for someone kind, collaborative, used to being active, with a sense of cleanliness and a flexible attitude.

William is a nice host who creates a good environment for you and the guests and always respects your privacy. I had a wonderful time helping William with the cleaning of the rooms: The work hours were as said and the workload is not heavy but very detail-oriented. I appreciate that I was able to improve my Italian with William and that he showed me around in the Salento region, his home region. Thank you very much William for creating such a beautiful place in Lecce and for giving me the opportunity to get to know your home town. Grazie!

This was a lovely experience, i got to know locals, local attractions, authentic engagement with people and culture without pithiness or exageration ... the host was very welcoming, had very heart warming treatment, he will introduce the italian culture, food, and experience to the guest very properly. He knows whatever you wondering about. The work or better to say, "help" was lovely and fun, and because it is engaged with some fun and local experience, especially for those who are new to come to italy, they will never feel burden of it.

The home is not only sea, sun and wind, but a very cultural city, surrounded by many beautiful landscapes. It is a very strategic city in the region of Salento. William can offer a great imersion into the italian culture, giving opportunities to get to know places and tipical events, improve language skills, taste local food and being part of family reunion. He and his family are very welcoming and make you feel at home. I've had an unique experience. That was really living the italian culture.

Lucas was an exceptional volunteer: polite, respectful, available and always ready to learn. A person of great heart, rare to meet.
I got along very well with him; it was a real pleasure to share time and values together.
He will always be welcome in Lecce β€” the doors of my home will stay open for him.

If you’re looking for someone who does the opposite of what you ask, then that’s the person for you. I had a bad experience; I hired her to do a job, and not only did she not do it, she made excuses and I was in the wrong both at home and in my work. She isn’t suited to working in a team. Terrible experience. I don’t recommend her.

I never imagined I would have such a warm, unique, cultural, fun, delicious, and amazing experience. William has such a big heart. The working hours are easy, the job doesn't is super simple. His house is so beautiful that it's enjoyable to be there. I felt at home. Thank you William for this wonderful opportunity to be part of 7 Passi Da. Thank you for the cultural experience, the atmosphere, the food, your friends and family. If you are a clean person, and appreciate the hospitality and house of others, William will welcome you. This was truly an adventure of lifetimes. Thank you!!!!

Thank you Emmanuel for stopping by to bring your energy, your smile, and your professionalism. Inexperienced, but for just a few days, once you got going you didn’t stop. A wonderful, polite, sunny guy who brought good energy to the whole house. Heartfelt thanksβ€”until the next adventure!!
