The hosts were kind, fair with the hours and the work. Alessio was always leading the group and attentive to our needs; however, he did feel a bit more distant. In María's case, I think communication wasn't ideal, and she didn't quite know how to convey trust or effective leadership with the volunteers.

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel!!! Maria and Alessio were very kind and welcoming, and they explained the tasks well. This was my first volunteering experience, and I'm so glad I was able to do it here!! The work was easy and gave me plenty of time for day trips, walks through the old town, and trips to the nearby beaches after work or on my days off. It's a pretty quiet area and is perfect for a more chill and laidback experience. Lecce is a beautiful place, and I would absolutely visit again!!

I had an amazing stay at the hostel! It's well-equipped with everything you might need, and the warm, friendly atmosphere made it even better. Alessio and Maria were incredibly kind and made me feel right at home. Lecce is also a vibrant and beautiful city, and had tons of welcoming locals. The other volunteers were also fantastic, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend the hostel and would love to return someday!
