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.
