Gianni House

Working in our hostel spiritually enriches you. You will make new friends, know people from all over the world and learn how to approach guests in the best way possible! Moreover in exchange for work you will obviously have your free time to enjoy Sicily, Mt. Etna, Taormina and all the beautiful places Sicily offers.

I'm Gianni, Gianni House's manager: it is a family run hostel located in the area of Giardini-Naxos/Taormina. Our aim is to create the meeting point is Sicily, that's why we are searching for people from all over the world who can help us in our project: we deeply believe that anyone of you could be helpful to us and could add something special to our hostel! Volunteers will be treated as they're part of the family, they will have accomodation and a typical Italian breakfast included. Moreover the atmosphere here is really friendly so it will be easy to make friends with the family, the staff members and all the guests. Some of the mansions include welcoming guests at their arrival giving them tips about the places they can visit, helping them in case they need suggestions, showing them the room where they'll stay and the hostel, and finally cleaning the common areas.

I had a great stay at Gianni House. I was warmly welcomed from the beginning, and both Gianni and Graziella truly value your effort and the work you do. Even during high season, everything went smoothly, with little to no complications during my stay. Being so close to Taormina and the beach also makes it easy to enjoy other activities, even on the days when you have to work.

Thank you Gianni House, I will remember this summer!

I had such a lovely first time volunteering experience here at Gianni house! The work was easy to pick up and the hours and responsibilities were always respected. The area is close to the beach so I spent a lot of time swimming and snorkelling! Also, the food around the hostel is amazing :))

My experience at Gianni House was wonderful! The volunteer team was also very nice.
The cleaning tasks were easy to learn, except that I was assigned to work in August during peak season. But we only had one tough week; after that, everything was incredible. Gianni and Graziella were very attentive and kind to me, and I even celebrated my birthday at Gianni House! Thank you!!!

I had the most incredible time volunteering at Gianni House! From the moment I arrived, Gianni and Graziella made me feel so welcomed—it truly felt like a home away from home! The work is very manageable, and the schedule is super fair, giving you plenty of time to explore the area. Giardini Naxos is a beautiful beach town and you’re just a short bus ride away from Taormina. Overall, I’d definitely recommend Gianni House to anyone looking for a relaxed, social volunteer experience in a beautiful part of Sicily!
