I loved being part of a rich culture with kind and respectful people. This was my first volunteer work, two months at atertumtisicily.com and I am very grateful for the opportunity to live unforgettable days. Filip was always concerned about our comfort and needs. He is a gentleman. The work was easy, and the schedule was respected. As it is a mountain be prepared to walk a lot!! Thanks Filip, Trente, Christian and Alex for sharing your time e knowledge.

The place is beautiful and peaceful! The work is intense but the hours and days are respected. The facilities and food are of the highest quality. Filip is a sensational host! Thank you Filip for being patient with my lack of English 🙃

My bf & I volunteered at this retreat centre up in beautiful mountains. It is impossible to explore surrounding areas without a car, if you are happy to enjoy property & stay in nature then not needed. We enjoyed working togetherthe community a common goal, the duties to prepare for upcoming retreat was more than 5hrs a day however Filip was understanding & kind & showed generosity to us in other ways to say thank u. We loved Ciro the chef! He was so fun & kind. Sometimes host can become stressed during retreats, just be proactive & remember to not take things too intensely. Overall, would recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time atthethethe the community. The grounds are beautiful, it was wonderful to have access to the pool. The owners Trente and Filip are exceptionally kind, loving human beings. Coming from NY, I was often taken aback on their thoughtfulness and consideration. The two paid workers that live there (Sara and Salvo), were very welcoming and helpful as well. I had a great time getting to know everybody. I would suggest this place to other volunteers, who are looking to visit Sicily, and immense themselves in the culture. I found the work to be enjoyable, agreed on hours respected.
