This has been a TRULY AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I cannot recommend the the guest house and the team enough. Nico the manager is the heart & soul of the guest house, and a truly great manager! This Summer, I was able to get the professional experience I was looking for along with meeting fabulous people from all over the world. In my time at the guest house,(which I extended!) I learned a lot about life & created memories that I will cherish forever. Our team truly worked together, supported each other, & created the Enchanting the guest house Vibe that gave a memorable experience to the workers & guests alike.

After extending my time at the guest house as much as I possibly could, I am leaving the place with a warm heart full of memories, friendships and love for the place. The place has such good energy and seems to attract beautiful people 💌 I feel so lucky that I still got to experience the guest house managed by Nico, who has truly created a little home by introducing us to many places and his friends, while also keeping our scheduke flexibke and the daily tasks super fair. From July, Nico will sadly no longer manage the guest house, which I believe will change the experience of volunteering here for the worse.

My 2 months at the guest house were magical! I am so grateful for every experience I had with the other volunteers that in the end felt like a little family (Lily, Noah and Cassandra❤️‍🩹) + the manager Nico and all the people he introduced us to and went out of his way to do things with us! The work was so fine and hours were respected. BUT from mid june onwards Nico will no longer be the manager. From then the guest house will be without a on-site manger (only someone checking up on the place once a week). Without Nico, I honestly can't see how the volunteering experience at the guest house could still be good.

I enjoyed my time at the guest house and would recommend a million times over! Nico, Elena, along with the other volunteers Andrea, Lily, and Noah made my experience incredible. Thank you Nico for everything, I will never forget my time here 💛. If you are wanting to see Italy, this is the perfect spot as it's close to nearby cities (Florence, Siena, Pisa) however it is located in a quaint town (Certaldo) away from the hustle of the city. The work was clearly explained, and Nico ensured each volunteer had a great experience.
