It was a nice stay with the home and the family. A real Sicilian life experience. Though those days were torching hot, in the house was still bearable. They had a private swimming pool which also helps! Working hours are very good, tasks varying depending on the needs. Communication relies a bit on translation app. But if we could have learned more Italian it would be nicer! Location is a bit remote. But if you like countryside life while sometimes travelling around it is a good choice. They are very good and kind people 💓I would recommend.

I appreciate that the home provided us 3 meals a day and I was lucky to get my own bedroom. The work was really light and random as the olive season was over before arrival, I basically did some chores and help for cleaning the yard. If you wanna pick olives I suggest to come before November. The house is located among the hills with spectacular view of the Sicilian countryside and a bit of the sea. If you like a quiet life this is the place for you. We also got to live with visiting family members who are very friendly. Ricardo actually speaks decent English. Also prepare some warm clothes :)

Very happy to have visited the home's house and the island of Sicily!!. From the moment they welcomed me, the home and Ricardo made me feel part of the family. It was a fabulous experience. the home is an excellent woman who always makes sure you are well and comfortable. Ricardo's work was pleasant, always helping with whatever I needed to restore the house.

Such an incredible time with the home and Riccardo! I felt so welcomed the moment I hopped in her car right outside the train station. The work was exactly what I expected, albeit everyday was a new task! As someone who thrives on surprises and unexpected adventures it was perfect for me. I loved our family meals together and time spent chatting. I was given quite a bit of time to travel outside of the countryside into the city of Agrigento and Palermo with my time off. They were very accommodating with these excursions as they really wanted me to experience the beauty Sicily had to offer :D

I need to thank the home and Ricardo for their hospitality and ofcourse for hosting me! It was an amazing experience, the hours are respected, the home hooks you up with local food (very good!!!) and you really get immersed in the local culture… Unfortunately due to medical issues i had to leave earlier then expected, but however i enjoyed my time at their place… Grazie!!!

My experience was amazing. The work is not difficult at all if you like getting your hands dirty and enjoy a good workout. the home is so kind and always makes sure you are comfortable. Ricardo is a man of great patience considering my Italian is not very good. They make delicious food and make you feel welcome into their home. The views from the home are stunning as well. My only suggestion would be bring a pair of boots. Great experience overall!

If you want to immerse your self in an Italian lifestyle, this place is for you. The work is hard but it can be rewarding to see the progress you're helping out with. The area it's s little remote but you can do some exploring if you're willing to walk a bit, and if you're flexible the host will offer you a ride to town when they are available. Meals are great, hours are respected and they are flexible about the shifts/time off. the home is a very sweet person, she makes sure you're comfortable and have everything you need. Ricardo is a guy of few words, but very nice, polite and patient.

I started my trip with my stay at Angela's and I could not ask for a better stay. I did not speak a word Italian and Angela only can say a few words in English. But you are able to work things out and have some good laughs with her. She always try's her best to make to make you feel like home, offers you amazing food and chances of getting to know the Dolomiten. Work was never more than the hours you made out before and never to much work. I've met the best people while staying there and made some beautiful experiences and memories. And the nature there is beautiful!

This was my first time volunteering and it couldn't have been better. Angela made me feel like a member of the family from day one. She was always very nice, generous and had lots of patience with me. I met great people here and the working hours were respected. I felt very welcome and was so sad when I left. I would definitely recommend this place!

My first volunteer job couldn't be better. Angela was like a mother, she is a wonderful and generous person, and an excellent cooker (she prepares all the breakfast dishes at the B&B which are delicious). We had the best food ever available. The place is beautiful and perfect for who love nature. Angela gave me lots of tips on what to do in my free time. The tasks are basic and everyone can do it. Working hours are respected. It's the perfect place to learn or practice some Italian. Thank you so much for these wonderful days I spent with you Angela, Ricardo, Giuseppe and others volunteers!
