I had a lovely stay at Villa Nadira. The host is kind, flexible, and very easygoing. The work is simple, and the natural surroundings make the experience peaceful and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it!

The host is a really cozy place to be if you want a rather quiet homebase to visit the south of Sicily. Sandy is super open about schedules and hours, so you can discuss with her if you need specific days to visit something that's a bit further away. She focuses more on the work than the hours, so if you are efficient you will most likely end up with more time off than expected. Sandy and Dami have really good vibes and will share their culture with you if you ask! I had a good time working on the garden and i would come back in a heartbeat!

Great place for motivated volunteers with a lot of potential for the future 😎 The villa is well located and has lovely shared spaces. Sandy is hardworking so she's often busy but truly wants volunteers to have a good experience and is open to ideas and strengths. I also got to know her lovely helper Damy. I helped with cleaning, check-ins and gardening, as well as with photos and improving the Booking profile. As the project is still new, some things are still finding their rhythm and there can be occasional surprises, but Sandy is doing her best to improve things. Many thanks to everyone ❤️
