I absolutely loved my experience! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Andrea is super fun and funny, I felt truly at home. Giuseppe and Carmela are also amazing people who will help you a lot. I highly recommend learning some basic Italian to make communication easier, but you won't regret volunteering at the guest house. Plus, the Italian food is incredible!

Andrea é um anfitrião incrível! Muito gentil e carismático, nos recebeu de braços abertos, nos levou para passeios, preparou comidas deliciosas para nós e fez questão de praticar nosso italiano todos os dias. A equipe, formada por Giusep e Carmela, apesar de serem bem intensos, tem um coração enorme e são divertidos. Recomendo ter pelo menos um conhecimento básico de italiano para se comunicar melhor com a equipe.

Meus primeiros dias foram um pouco confusos, talvez porque cheguei justamente na semana mais agitada do ano. Mas depois tudo se acalmou, e assim pude aproveitar muito melhor meu tempo em Palermo e no B&B. Andrea é muito divertido e cozinha muito bem. Giuseppe e Carmela podem ser intensos e falam muito alto, mas eu me acostumei com o tempo. 😂

Overall, the experience is good. Giuseppe and Carmella are wonderful people with huge hearts. However, be prepared to spend a lot of time alone, it's not a very social environment. The room is spacious and has a private bathroom, but there was no air conditioning or fan, I had to sleep with the window open, which compromised privacy since the room is on the ground floor. Andrea is friendly, but sometimes forgot to keep the kitchen access unlocked, which can force you to eat out, so don't forget to remind him regularly. The internet is good — I recommend it for digital nomads.

The shift is only mornings starting at 7:45 helping with breakfast and cleaning. work is easy and you'll have carmela and giuseppe to help you on your daily tasks. they're great people with a big heart! italian is the only language spoken there, so it's ideal that you know at least some basic italian to communicate well with others. you're entitled for a free breakfast (same as the guests) and lunch is cooked by Andrea, it's important to communicate clearly about restrictions - if you have any. the volunteer room is very good & has a private bathroom! communication has to be improved.

Si ritorna nei luoghi in cui si è stati felici, e questo è stato il mio caso :) Con Carmela, Giuseppe e Andrea vi divertirete, mangerete deliziosi piatti tipici siciliani e ne conoscerete la cultura. i compiti sono facili e gli orari vengono rispettati. Grazie ancora !!

If you want to experience the local culture, this is the place! You will work with real parlemitanos and eat Italian food every day. The B&B is in the heart of the city, close to the train station and bus terminal, the sea, a nice park called Villa Giulia, and everything you need. The work is not difficult, you start your morning helping with the breakfast, mainly washing the dishes. After it, you will help cleaning the rooms! It's important you to communicate very well about everything. I think it's the only improvement point, the communication. The bedroom and bathroom are both great 👌

My time spent at the guest house was truly amazing ❤️ From the moment I arrived until I left I felt part of the family. The work is easy, it consists of helping with breakfast in the morning, cleaning the rooms and sometimes if needed you do the check ins. Andrea is a very kind & thoughtful host, he cooks the most amazing food. Carmella and Giuseppe are amazing people they are so friendly and are always ready to help. My time spent in the guest house will forever be in my heart I hope to return some day ❤️❤️❤️

I had a great time at the guest house! Andrea is a great host (and chef!), and very friendly. Carmela and Giuseppe are lovely too, and very funny. Everyone is kind and attentive, and they truly treat you as part of the team. The location is also great, since the B&B is close to the historic center and very cool bars and cafés. I really recommend this experience if you want a work that is easy and can be fun, while also having the time to explore the city/island and get to know new people. This was my first Worldpackers and it did not disappoint :)
