I had a great time at the hostel. The hosts are very kind and Maria makes sure you are shown around and know how to do your job. The hostel is about a 25 minute walk from the main historic center, which I was initially a little worried about, but it really is not a problem at all and the walk flies by. I had so much fun with the other volunteers and guests, and Lecce is such a beautiful, relaxed, kind city. This was my first volunteer experience and I think it was perfect! The people are really what makes the experience great.

This was my first volunteering experience and I could hardly have had a better one. Maria and Alessio da great job welcoming the volunteers, the conditions offered are really nice, and the hostel has great facilities. I was on the housekeeping team for 5 weeks, most of it in August, in which on some days the work gets a bit hectic, but even on those days it wouldn't take me longer than the hours agreed upon to finish. I met great people during my stay, had loads of fun and I wish I could have stayed longer.

I had a lovely month at the hostel. The other staff and volunteers were friendly, and I enjoyed meeting guests travelling from around the world. The work was well-organized and left plenty of free time to explore the city and region. The hostel sits a little outside the city centre, but it's an easy walk and has all the essentials nearby.

I had a really good time at the hostel. Everything was clean and organised, and the tasks were divided fairly, so there was always a clear idea of what needed to be done. The hostel is located right in front of a bus stop and 2 mins from a supermarket, but it's also quite easy to get around by walking. Very friendly and easygoing atmosphere, special mention to Maria the most lovely person ever, she will make sure you experience Lecce like a true local.
