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.

I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to travel and meet people from all over the world. The tasks are pretty simple and can be done within 2 to 3 hours in the beginning of the day. This is perfect because you have the rest the day to yourself. If you want, you could help with the check in check out process, but each day was pretty predictable. They were absolutely amazing to work with and very understanding. I had to leave because of a funeral and they were very helpful and considerate during that time. I would definitely return back if I could in the future.

The guest house was a great experience for me. Nati was extremely caring and welcoming from the beginning and the workload very manageable, never exceeding the three hour day. You are also never working alone and the team there was helpful and kind. The villa is beautiful, and a great space from which to relax and enjoy the scenery. I couldn't have hoped for better from my first Worldpackers experience and hope to return there soon. The hostel is quite social, so it's an ideal place to make friends, meet people from all over the world, and to discover the Tuscan countryside, Florence and Sienna.

I loved my first volunteering experience. I had the opportunity to discover an unknown place, with unknown people and languages, doing things I wasn't used to. I found it amazing to step out of my comfort zone and discover more about myself every day. Nick was very receptive and attentive, we got along very well. I already miss our endless laughs and spectacular wines. the guest house has my heart, and I hope one day to return to this place that won me over in such a short time.

My experience at the guest house was truly incredible. I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people within my team and, without a doubt, I made lasting friendships with fellow guests. Certaldo boasts excellent transportation connections to nearby cities, making it convenient for exploring the region. Nico, the manager, is an incredibly friendly person who extended numerous invitations to exciting outings, which I greatly appreciated. My current role at the reception is both enjoyable and peaceful. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for volunteering.

This was such an amazing experience. As someone on their first solo travelling trip, I could not recommend this enough. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous. The other volunteers and manager were so welcoming and friendly. I know that I made great friends. The manager was so nice, he helped me as much as he could with anything that I needed with. He was accommodating and a fair manager. The work at the guest house while at times challenging overall was a very relaxing and easy job, giving you lots of time to explore Tuscany. I made some unforgettable memories here. I would highly recommend
