Program Details

Hello everyone, we are opening positions for volunteers to join us this summer 2025. You will live on site and make sure the place is well looked after. We need people who are willing to work from general cleaning (kitchens/bathrooms/common spaces and outdoor cleaning) to reception, tours and activities & bar.
Bassetto Guesthouse is proud to have created a 27-bedroom "home-away-from-home environment", i.e. a boutique hostel.
Although it is a fairly easy activity, it is not office work and during the day there is time to relax as guests leave in the morning and return in the late afternoon.
We also offer monthly cash incentives for activities & tours.
We need a maximum of 3/4 people to share jobs and responsibilities.

Activities & Shift

We have a guesthouse/hostel that is filled with world travelers.

We seek volunteers to help with the manager in the daily operations of the guesthouse/hostel. We are a small team that will work closely making sure the hostel is run effectively for the maximum of 30 guests that the hostel can hold.
Different type of help includes;
- Reception (checking/out guests, replying emails, booking & managment system as BananaDesk, Hostelworld etc.)
- Guesthouse cleaning: Rooms, Kitchen, Toilets/hostel areas inside and out and preparing beds for new guests
- Driving guests to vineyards, san gimignano, sunset Picnic & other activity locations


The activities are not stressful and you will become part of the family.

Rules

Requirements we prefer for help;
- staff who have some experience in the subject
- Speak English
- Have experience in a guest house/hostel and a reservation system (however, we can teach you the basic systems in the simplest way).
- Pets are not allowed as it feels like a home/guest house and must be maintained as such. Please see www.bassettoguesthouse.com
- Traveler, socializing and respectful spirit.
-Driver license is a plus.
