I had an amazing time at Centro! I loved the place, the food, the nature, the cats and peacocks as well of course. The work was fine and I had lots of free time to work on my own things or hang out. The staff and other volunteers are really what made my experience so great though, I'll always have lots of fond memories of this place thanks to them :)

I went with my partner and we stayed for three weeks. The experience was truly wonderful! The place is incredibly beautiful, surrounded by nature and animals, and it was such a special environment to spend time in.
What I treasure the most from this experience, though, are the amazing people I met along the way. They made my stay even more meaningful and memorable.
One thing to keep in mind is that I initially expected to help with painting, construction, and gardening, while during my stay, the main need was help with cleaning and maintaining the place. Even so, I really enjoyed my time.

This was my first volunteering experience, and it became an unforgettable and truly valuable experience for me. I had such a fun and fulfilling time, from the people I met and the work I did to the free time I got to enjoy. Everyone was very friendly, and I also had the opportunity to interact with many animals. The uphill walk I had to do every day was challenging, but this place was absolutely worth it. Thank you so much for an amazing month! ❤️

I'll carry Bisetti and Centro in my heart forever ♥️ amazing place full of love, great food and good people, surrounded by beautiful towns, the lake and the river. I couldn't have asked for more! Forever grateful for this experience.
Everyone speaks English but they all come from different countries. Volunteers share a house fully equipped and it's a 15min uphill walk to Centro. It's also a 15 min walk down to the lake, Pettenasco, train station or the supermarket.
I stayed for a month but I'd have stayed longer if I could, if you have the chance to go I highly recommend it!!

I had a great time at the Center! The place is absolutely beautiful, the house of volunteers is old but still really nice. It takes between 15-20 minutes walking up from volunteers house to Centro. The place is surrounded by lots of nature, an amazing lake, rivers, waterfalls and lots of little towns around. There's so much to see and discover on your days off! The food was good, the work isn't too hard. I enjoyed a lot working in the kitchen and in the cute little cafe bar. I've met beautiful people from all over the world and made lots of friendships. Wish all the best to everyone 💖

Wow, what an incredible experience! I have many people to thank, from the warm welcome when I first arrived to the fantastic company throughout my weeks at Centro. It was clear that they had a lot of experience with hosting volunteers.

The working hours were respected, and I really appreciated spending most of my shifts in the kitchen. The food is excellent, there are great hiking and running trails nearby, and plenty of opportunities for day trips/activities in the surrounding area.

I had an amazing time and would highly recommend it!

Home away from home. I'm really happy that I got the chance to live this experience. The people are amazing and caring, the food is delicious and the location is beautiful if you like nature. I would say that the only downside was the fact that sometimes, there might be sudden changes in the schedule and you'll have to adapt. Nothing too drastic, but it's something to keep in mind. Other than that, It's a lovely experience.

Me and my friend had the best time in Centro! The place is beautiful, the food is amazing, the work is okay and the people we're incredible. Everything was amazing, other than the walk up from the house to Centro, but you get used to it! Couldn't recommend it enough!
