It was very good experience. Firstly, I want to mention hosts, Enzo and Lisa are amazing people, they were very welcoming and kind, they always answered on all questions and have very good attitude to volunteers. Secondly, the place has a great location, Milazzo is very nice peaceful city, near beautiful Eolie islands. You can really enjoy nature and slow Sicilian lifestyle here. Working tasks were repetitive, so it wasn't complicated and working hours were always respected, I have enough time to enjoy Sicily. I'm very very grateful for this experience!

I had such a lovely experience volunteering here! Everyone was welcoming, and I genuinely enjoyed my time with the team. I came in with things to learn, and they were patient, supportive, and willing to train me along the way. I appreciated the opportunity to learn new skills, meet wonderful people, and be part of the experience. It was a fun and memorable time, and I'm grateful I had the chance to volunteer here. I would definitely recommend this host!

I learnt so much, met wonderful people and enjoyed nature during this volunteer period. Communication regarding tasks was clear and well-organized from the beginning, and I learned how to do housekeeping efficiently thanks to clear, step-by-step guidelines. The community atmosphere was fantastic; interacting and hanging out with other volunteers, sharing travel stories with guests, and trying local delicacies together made my stay truly special. On top of that, Milazzo is a lovely, quiet city with a beautiful beach that makes time off feel like a real vacation.

I had a wonderful time in Milazzo. Lisa and Enzo are very nice and responsive, I felt really welcomed. The workload is fair and it will definitely work your attention to details.
The hostel is very nice, well placed, close to the beach and many good restaurants.
I can only recommend it.
Thank you! 🫶🏾🫶🏾

I stayed one month in Milazzo in the hostel, it was cleaning in the morning and helping with check-in as arranged. Maria elisa and enzo are kind and great people I had an amazing experience, and I also could practice my sicilian and see the islands! I would recommend!

Marielisa and Enzo were super welcoming and made it easy to settle in. The responsibilities are clear and you’re free to go anywhere once your morning shift is done.
Volunteers are also responsible for checking in guests in the afternoon and evening. You are free to be out when guests arrive but if they need to pay, you will still have to find them and request payment when you return.
If you work remotely and cannot be flexible in your schedule or you are not detail oriented, this is not the volunteer experience for you.
Overall I would recommend.

My experience was mixed, and there are things I wish I'd known beforehand. Milazzo is great for visiting the Aeolian Islands, but far from Sicily's main destinations, making exploration difficult with only one day off per week.
Most guests stay one night, making connections difficult. The social atmosphere wasn't what I expected.
Although work is described as morning-only, extra tasks during the day (check ins and guests) can limit free time and privacy. Communication and practical arrangements, such as breakfast and laundry, could also be improved.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
