The hostel is more than a Hostel, is a family! Andrea is a great host and the girls from the staff became my friends, they were super welcoming and committed with the volunteer's process, the tasks are not hard and the schedules are so flexible, Also the room was comfy, I loved all the activities like “Pasta al pesto night” and “Aperitivo night”. Thanks Andrea for the time in the hostel, I hope the best for the coming months and years! I really felt as home! Is my 2nd experience in hostels, but the hostel was beyond my expectations!

This experience was out of this world. Absolutely fantastic. Andrea and the whole team are super kind, the hostel is lovely and very cozy. Besides working, there is plenty of time to explore the surroundings or have a chat with the guests. The only negative thing was that I was only there for three weeks. mea culpa ;) Thanks for everything, it was outstanding <3

I had a wonderful month in La Spezia! It's a perfect town to spend time in with access to so much hiking, nature, and swimming. Also pesto. I had a good experience at the hostel, the work was as discussed ranging from daily housekeeping (all rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, beds) to reception. The hours were reasonable for a work exchange (it was 20-25 hours when I was there, seems to be more now). The hostel was comfortable, and the staff were all kind and helpful.

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience. Right from the beginning, Andrea and the team made me feel welcomed and they were kind and supportive. the hostel feels super cozy and has such a positive vibe, and it quickly felt like home. La Spezia is the perfect base to explore Cinque Terre, and there is enough time to do different activities like hiking, going to the beach and soaking in the stunning views. What made it truly special for me was that I connected with travelers from all over the world, also with the other volunteers and built friendships I'll always cherish. Grazie mille!

This month at the hostel made my heart so full. For my first volunteer experience I couldn't have wished for a better host and team. Andrea and everyone here is so so kind and caring. The work is just as described beforehand, very doable, and there's lots of time to explore the surrounding area which I have absolutely fallen in love with. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to become part of this little family. It truly felt like home. I got to meet some of the kindest souls here and I do hope we get to see each other again soon! Thank you for everything Andrea! Grazie mille a tutti! ❤❤❤
