DIY and living on a Sailboat in Palermo Sicily!

I had the opportunity to work in the guest house and the boat. And what I can say is that they welcome u as family. Its a remote place, perfect for having quality rest time (u cant do much walking, but they will take you for amazing tours). To Jesse, Emanuelle and Mari, my sincere thanks for welcoming me so well. To Marco, I thank you for trusting me and for always being concerned about my comfort. Working on the boat is exactly as agreed and in the house is hard, u have to be able to perform it, but the wonderful food makes it all worth it. Hope to see u again guys, thanks for everything <3

This is my first worldpackers experience and i cant be more grateful! Big thanks to Marco and Jessi for giving me a chance even tho i have no experience and for accepting my application in such short time. I am forever grateful to everyone ive met here, Mari and Emanuele for taking very good care of me, cooking the BEST Italian meals i could ever ask for (you will never feel hungry in this house), always making sure i have everything i need. The tasks are simple and straightforward, we did went over the hour a bit since the summer season just started but everything was well communicated.

The place and surrounding areas is beautiful, this part of Sicily has some of the best beaches I've ever seen. The tasks were easy and hours were respected, I worked mornings so by the afternoon we were free so plenty of spare time. The nearest beach is about 25 minutes walk but there are many more beaches a bit further out. Thanks to Emmanuele we got to visit Marsala and erice alongside different places for gelato, his cooking is also amazing. Overall Nice people, definitely recommend if you want to explore western Sicily.

This was one of the best experiences i've done here on Worldpackers so far. It was a new experience for me to live on a boat, and it was amazing. Marco is very flexible about hours of work and he and his girlfriend, Jesse, are always making sure you are feeling comfortable, even from "far". The work was good, the place was beautiful and my backyard was on the beach! I highly recommend it if you want to have a different experience from the usual and live on the sea!!

My experience was incredible! Great way to get in touch with the culture of Sicily and discover incredible places! Everyone in the house was very friendly and welcoming, they made me feel at home. Emanuele cooks delicious meals, he also took me to visit places around and to taste the best gelatos and typical foods. The place is beautiful and by walking 25 minutes you reach a beautiful beach. I had a lot of fun and I definitely recommend this experience!

I mainly stayed in the house doing some gardening and everyday house chores. I got to help on the boat once doing some polishing and cleaning, which is a good experience and the sunset view from the port was amazing. I learned some Italian words from Marco's dad Emanuele, who is this sweetest, kindest and cutest person! Molto dolce e simpatico e carino! He cooks amazing food and loves to show us around places! He would often take us to get gelato after we finish with our tasks. Everyone I met there was nice to me. Thank you Marco, Jessika, Mariana, Alice and Emanuele!

Had one of the best experiences as a traveler in Serendipa, I felt so happy since they pick me up, everyone at the house will always do everything to make you feel comfortable and at home. Emanuele is the most incredible person u can meet, such a huge heart. He cooks all the most incredible plates ever. That was the most authentic experience I could ask for. It was so special to participate of the atmosphere of their house for a while, got to know Sicily through the eyes of a local who is so passionate about his land, learn italian from scratch, and gardening. Ill never forget my days there

Vou começar com algo que o Emanuele disse e comprovou todos os dias:"para nós a hospitalidade é sagrada."Foi assim que me senti, ganhei amigos! Jé, Marco e Ema são os melhores hosts que eu poderia encontrar. Vivi momentos inesquecíveis, o dia do barco foi um dos melhores da minha vida, fomos pra uma praia surreal e fomos tomar gelato remando no bote!Aprendi muito com a Jé, sem dizer a comida e a alegria do Emanuele,que é um sábio na arte de viver,é um ser especial de outra dimensão! A chácara é linda!Pude equilibrar voluntariado,trabalho online e passeios. Vocês são minha família na Sicília!S2

SeridiPa was my first volunteer. It was lovely from beginning to end. As a female solo traveler my concern was safety and I felt the safest there. The job is quite fiscal challenging so keep that in mind and give yourself a chance 💪🏼. As is a household sometimes you'll go a bit over the hours but worth every single minute since you feel like part of the family, get a cultural immersion, meet locals, eat great food made by Emanuele ❤️, and if you get lucky meet tons of new places. I would definitely recommend it and I hope to comeback someday 🥰

I've found my new family in Palermo. It was a wonderful experience and indeed you are treated like family from day one. I love nature, both sea and mountains, so I'm super happy I was able to stay at the house during these days working and helping both inside and outside. Every single minute was also fun, we laughed so much (and yes, I ate so much. Sorry, to Ema's cooking it's harrrrd to resist!) I'm insanely grateful to everybody! Ema, Marc, Jess, Dani, and the piccolina! We had a lovely Easter as well! Thanks so much! Can't wait to meet you all again!
