My experience at this volunteer project was excellent. I 100% recommend it. The team is kind, organized, respectful, and always open to the volunteers' needs. Palazzo the guest house is a magical place that inspires you to give your best every day. Paolo, Fabrizio, the guest house, and the entire staff made us feel welcome from the first day. Whenever extra hours were needed, they always asked politely and those hours were paid. We also had plenty of time to explore nearby towns and truly immerse ourselves in the local culture. I will miss them! 💛

I recently had this experience and would definitely do it again. I felt very comfortable with the guest house and the rest of the staff. Manduria is beautiful, and being in the center, you can easily visit the city. They also give you €50 for food for the week, and you can use their kitchen.

The guest house and Filippo always made sure I felt at home at the Palazzo. The atmosphere is warm and family-like. The work is varied and not exhausting. You can take on extra hours for additional pay. Each week, you receive money for meals and can eat whatever and whenever you like. A fully equipped kitchen is available. The Palazzo is located in the city center, so shops and other places are easily accessible on foot. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to discover Italian culture and values peace and tranquility.

This experience was a great way to be immersed in the Southern Italian culture and especially the way of life of a small town. I really enjoyed exploring the town and during the summer there were constantly activities in the area like jazz concerts and cultural festivals. the guest house would always inform us when there was something going on and would often invite us to join her and Paolo for dinner in town. The staff is very kind and welcoming. Filippo, the hotel manager, was helpful in training and good at communicating responsibilities although the hours often exceed 4 per day.

My partner & I stayed here for 3 weeks & had a great time. It was an absolutely stunning venue; our living area in the basement was very basic but had a comfortable bed and clean facilities. Elizabetta, Filippo & the staff were kind, welcoming and were great to work with. We split ourselves between helping with breakfast and doing work in the garden & pool bar when needed. Flexibility was required around guest needs re pool bar however additional work was renumerated & flexibility worked both ways (E.g. Early finish) which we appreciated. Overall we would definitely recommend this opportunity.

Volunteering at the Palazzo was amazing! the guest house and Filippo were extremely kind and welcoming, always making us feel comfortable and at home :) The work was easy and we never had to do too much, therefore we had a lot of free time to enjoy the beautiful region. On our days off they made sure we could have a full day at the beach which was incredible! The palazzo and the team made the experience unforgettable and I'm very grateful for the time I got to spend there <3

My experience at Palazzo the guest house was amazing! The work was as agreed and wasn't hard at all and we were always given a generous amount of money to buy ourselves food. The Palazzo itself is great, the garden is huge and so beautiful and we even got to use the pool when the guests weren't around! The location in Manduria is great, it's a rather small place but you're right in the center so you can easily explore. the guest house, Paolo & Filippo, as well as the rest of the staff were super kind and would always take us to places like the beach if we had time or recommend us things to do :)

The palazzo is beautiful and all the volunteers are well taken care of. The owners are very kind and have a lot of stories to tell, they generously took us out to dinner multiple times. Manduria is a beautiful city with lots of lovely local shops and public transport that will easily take you to the beach.

I loved the experience. Sharing with everyone: Don Paolo, Doña Elisabetta, Fabrizio, Patrizia, Federica, and our co world Packers Lola and Tomás was a memorable experience. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy a beautiful place. They respected my schedule and it was collaborative. They treated us very well and they respected the agreements. They gave us 50€ for meals and, in case of overtime, they paid us for it.

100% recommended experience. The house as host has been very good, since it has been attentive to us at all times. It has been very clear from the first day with the schedules and the tasks.
Very happy with the experience.
