Ha sido mi primer voluntariado y sin duda alguna, ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Se crean amistades muy bonitas, especialmente con el resto de voluntarios <3 aparte de que Catania tiene una vida increíble y es perfecta para visitar el resto de Sicilia. Desde el primer momento, el staff te acoge y te ayuda en lo que necesites, son muy amables y atentos. Hacen que cada shift sea más ameno y divertido :) È stata un'esperienza di cui sono molto grata ❤️

I had an amazing time with this team! Marcello, Angela, Sara, Ale, Claudia – everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, full of energy, and always ready with a hug (which meant a lot to me, being far from family).
I got to improve my Spanish and build great friendships with my new Argentinian and Colombian "hermanos" – and also with friends from Spain/UK/NZ and a lovely girl from Switzerland.
The only tough part was the night shifts, since I usually go to bed early – but I survived, so all good!

Mi experiencia en el Ostello fue inolvidable. El staff es muy amable y siempre está dispuesto a ayudar. La ubicación es genial, en pleno centro de Catania. El ambiente es super social, ideal para conectar con gente de todo el mundo. Compartí el día a día con personas increíbles, con quienes construí amistades que me llevo para siempre. Sin dudas es un lugar al que volvería sin pensarlo dos veces. Gracias por todo! <3

I had a great time at Ostello degli Elefanti. The hostel is located right in the city center, which made everything super convenient. I can recommend this place 100%. Big thanks to Ale for being there 24/7. I’m really happy about the experience and grateful for the opportunity to meet so many lovely people in such a short time.
Everything felt very relaxed and easygoing, creating a really warm atmosphere. The only thing I personally found a bit challenging were the night shifts—but aside from that, it was a truly amazing experience, and I’m very thankful I got to be part of it!

I highly recommend!!!

My experience was absolutely amaaaazing! I met, lived and worked with people who became my family. I was very well received and the space of the Hostel is beautiful!

The night shift can be difficult for those who have trouble with the night or can not sleep later during the day. For me it was a bit difficult, but knowing that it was only for a period and with all the other amazing sides of being there, I thought it was really worth it!!

I was really happy to have participated in this volunteering, I will never forget Catania and the friends I made there.
