Le Terrazze

We are a friendly nice family. The person who stay will be a part of it.
It's possible to travel over the whole island, because there are trains and busses. Also there are many sights
near at our place.
right now we search also artists who van paint our walls with graffiti or other good stuff.

We look at our volenteers. If there are problems or wishes we can speak everytime. We also know good places to visit. We alway work together. You don't do things alone. You can learn a lot about building things and the surrounding. The work is most of the time physical. We expect some fitness. Also we expect some kind of flexibility. For example, when it rains, some housework in our flat or to go shopping. The volunteers can decide, if they want the meals with us or to get money and prepare all the meals for themselves. We want to get better in English and Doro in Italian.

My stay at Eco Project felt ok. The most tasks I did were agreed before. My tent was really comfortable because there was a mattress in it. I really liked living in nature the whole time of my stay. The campsite is under construction work (what volunteers are helping with), so it is very narrow to live there. Tano himself can be nice as long as you share his opinion and eating habits. When you're vegetarian you're mostly respected. There were situations communication wasn't working well.
You should be aware that Tano is on his own managing everything what seems to be stressfull for him.

I had a good Time at Tano’s Place. From his place you have an amazing view. The next town and beach is a 15 minute walk away which was pretty nice. You also could easily visit the cities nearby like Taormina or spots like Isola Bella which are really worth a visit. Tano himself is a nice guy, he really tried to make us feel comfortable and respected me for being vegetarian. He even took us to Castelmola once which was nice. All in all I can recommend it but you need to keep in mind that it’s a rustic camping site in nature. If you are aware of that you should go for it.

Le Terraze es un lugar especial, su posición sobre la colina otorga una vista fenomenal y una posición geográfica accesible pero tranquila.
Si buscas un lugar-experiencia de vacaciones, tal vez no sea tu lugar, pero si en cambio buscas ofrecer un buen trabajo y sumergirte en la cultura local de la Sicilia, encontraras una familia que cuidara de ti y te ayudara con lo que necesites.
Personalmente fui con la intención de aprender Italiano, Doro y Tano pusieron tanto empeño que lo aprendí en solo 3 semanas.
Una experiencia que recomiendo para cualquier viajero con ganas de mejorarse.

The agreement was to work at the camp, but the hosts also asked me to clean their apartment, which wasn't part of the deal.

After my day off, I chose to stay at the camp and cook instead of joining them for dinner. One host agreed, but the other confronted me aggressively, accusing me of treating the place like a hotel. Despite my attempts to discuss the situation calmly, he refused to engage respectfully.

He then gave me the ultimatum to either clean their apartment or leave within 10 minutes at 8pm. Feeling unsafe, I chose to leave. The experience was unprofessional and hostile.

The contact with Daniela was often full of misunderstanding. We can't gave her only work at the camp, because the weather was bad. We ask her instead to fo something in the household to get her hours. But it was a problem. Also to be flexible with the work time. It was not possible because of the weather, to do 5 hous. We had often conversations because of the food. She doesn't respect our conditions.

L’esperienza è stata molto bella e formativa, ammettendo che il lavoro svolto è duro, abbiamo imparato cosa significa lavorare duramente grazie alla guida di Gaetano. Doro è stata una host fantastica che ha contribuito a creare la sensazione di essere a casa. Il posto è meraviglioso, con molti servizi e a passo d’uomo, non è necessario avere un auto. Sicuramente speriamo di rivedere presto tutti, anche yoshi (il loro bambino).❤️
