we treat volunteer as part of the family, I had 4 years of Volunteer in the family and we enjoy to share italian culture, like to prepare handmade pasta or gnocchi once a week and share our type of culture. In summer 2 bedrooms (max 6/7 people) with full kitchen and 1 bathrooms, to share between workawayer. The area for workawayer is not of the host, so you need to keep clean your room and kitchen and bathroom out of the volunteer hours) In winter 1 bedroom max 4 people It is not a rental but a workaway place so place is very simple. As we ask only 4 hr a day we offer continental breakfast (milk, coffee, tea, jam, bread butter, eggs) in exchange for 4 hours a day of help, 5 days a week. ONE NIGHT of the week I cook for dinner.

The views from the house were stunning, Noli and Spotorno are beautiful towns😍
Eliana was very kind and welcoming from the first moment. Although our experience wasn’t as “typical” as that of other volunteers, we had a really good time.
The only problem was that the guest house was very dirty. I think guests should be more grateful to Eliana and to the opportunity she is giving us, by maintaining a good shared environment. I understand this is not her responsibility.
If you like the countryside lifestyle and the beach, this is the perfect opportunity!

Disfrutanos mucho del lugar es un paraiso, las vistas desde la casa son increibles. Los caminos para llegar caminando a la casa son de montañas y mucha veces se transforma en senderos. En cuanto a las tareas realizamos son de mantenimiento de la casa. Eliana es una gran persona y te hace sentir comodo en todo momento.
A nosotros nos dio un poco de tristeza que los anteriores voluntarios no cuidaron la casa de invitados y que no valoren la confianza que Eliana brinda a cada uno, a fin y al cabo ella nos regala esta experiencia y hay que valorarla ayudando a mantener el orden y limpieza

Its a really unique experience which I definitely recommend.
I had tons of fun, met new people from all around the globe cultures, made new frends that I can visit and experienced a lot.
I suggest this experience because it was my first one and I’ll definitely want to come back one day.

My time in Noli was truly awesome! I’ve met wonderful people from all over the world and made friends with locals. Eliana is a great host, she was welcoming from the very beginning. She has some crazy stories and i really enjoyed talking with her, you can feel that she’s really passionate about hosting volunteers!
Noli is beautiful small town and views from the house are incredible!
Work can be hard sometimes but it’s only 4 hours and if you’re working with other volunteers it’s really not that bad.
The people i’ve met, Eliana and Noli are truly unforgettable 🫶🏼

Second time with Eliana, although this time shorter, it is the best place and it feels like home away from home. Wouldn’t change anything of my stay and Eliana will always have a special place in my heart for how kind she is
