I loved my first volunteering experience. I had the opportunity to discover an unknown place, with unknown people and languages, doing things I wasn't used to. I found it amazing to step out of my comfort zone and discover more about myself every day. Nick was very receptive and attentive, we got along very well. I already miss our endless laughs and spectacular wines. the guest house has my heart, and I hope one day to return to this place that won me over in such a short time.

My experience at the guest house was truly incredible. I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people within my team and, without a doubt, I made lasting friendships with fellow guests. Certaldo boasts excellent transportation connections to nearby cities, making it convenient for exploring the region. Nico, the manager, is an incredibly friendly person who extended numerous invitations to exciting outings, which I greatly appreciated. My current role at the reception is both enjoyable and peaceful. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for volunteering.

This was such an amazing experience. As someone on their first solo travelling trip, I could not recommend this enough. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous. The other volunteers and manager were so welcoming and friendly. I know that I made great friends. The manager was so nice, he helped me as much as he could with anything that I needed with. He was accommodating and a fair manager. The work at the guest house while at times challenging overall was a very relaxing and easy job, giving you lots of time to explore Tuscany. I made some unforgettable memories here. I would highly recommend

My time at the guest house was a very special time! The volunteers are treated very well and are made to feel at home. Nick is a great manager and is very good to the volunteers. If you need to learn anything new or you make a mistake he will always be there to help. The environment at the guest house is very social and warm which means that you will meet lots of new people and experience the amazing culture of Italy! the guest house is located in a truly beautiful place which makes you feel lucky to be there. Overall, I would always recommend the guest house to any volunteer or guest for a memorable,charming experience

Amazing experience and I recommend 100% percent. It's a safe space and the manager makes you feel confortable if you have any problem, he'll always try to help. The work is not hard to do and you have the rest of the day to yourself. The volunteers have been amazing and the guest house has a great community. I feel very lucky of this experience. It's the perfect place to relax and get to know people from everywhere in the world.
