The Experience

Hey guys! My home is in a small town, about a 10-minute drive from the beach, out in the countryside. We have dogs and cats. We’d love a hand in the garden — things like picking up leaves, watering the plants, keeping the area around the house tidy, and feeding the cats when I’m away. I'm looking for self-sufficient people, because sometimes I might be away traveling for 2 or 3 days."

The experience was amazing, Ale is an excellent person, super atencion, a real pro at the kitchen, always helpful to improve my italian and take me at the city. She asked me always if a need something and made me felt really confortable. But for the next volunteers is important to understand that the italians could be blunt and you shouldn't take personal, otherwise you can feel bad.

My experience at Bnb the guest house was great! I'm grateful to have met the other volunteers and have a good time with them. Alessandra is very kind and is always available to help with anything. Overall a good place to connect with nature and animals. I recommend Bnb the guest house to volunteer and would advice other volunteers to just keep the communication clear about the tasks from the beginning. It was always a pleasure to hear good stories from Alessandra!

This is my first Worldpackers experience and I couldn't ask for anything better. As a matter of fact, I am still here, because I like this place a lot and asked Alessandra if I could stay a bit longer. She is a very kind and hospitable woman and the guest house Appricot is such a beautiful place. The lemon fields, the sea, all the nature and animals. To me work starts at 8:30 and ends at 12:30 and the rest of the day is left to me to do whatever I want. It's an awesome experience with nice people and beautiful nature, definitely recommending to anyone ♥️
