I strongly suggest this place for those who love wondering in nature. Plenty opportunities nearby. It was great to practice a bit of Italian here too, but it's nice that we could talk in English, because it was easier to discuss my tasks (and other things). Although, our deal didn't include meals, I got invited to eat with them several times :) So I ate lots of delicious Italian food!

Gio is a very kind host, always making sure that we were okay and making time for us (we even had a pizza party!) even tho she was super busy.
The work is easy and can be done in a couple hours, sometimes more, depending on the tasks for the day. The kitchen has everything needed to cook, bathrooms are clean and working well, we had privacy and freedom since there's no fixed time to get things done.
Schio is a relatively small town. From the house is about 30 min walk to downtown. There's a supermarket 5min away, a climbing gym 10min, lots of mountains, hikes, rivers, and cute towns around.

It was a great experience staying at the guest house Gigliola. Even though she was very busy with work, whenever she had free time, she made sure to dedicate it to the volunteers, which was really nice. Francesca and Luca were also always very kind and welcoming. Schio is a small, beautiful town, and on your days off, you can visit Venice, Verona, Lake Garda, and other cities. I recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful place.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I can't recommend it enough. Gio was so kind, respectful, and included us volunteers in her daily life, which made for a more immersive experience. Her cooking is delicious <3 The work itself was simple, and could be completed in under 2 hours each day, which left plenty of time for exploring and relaxing. The quiet town of Schio is surrounded by beautiful mountains, and fairly close to other cities like Verona and Venice for day trips. If you want a peaceful stay in northern Italy, look no further!
