SeridiPa was my first volunteer. It was lovely from beginning to end. As a female solo traveler my concern was safety and I felt the safest there. The job is quite fiscal challenging so keep that in mind and give yourself a chance 💪🏼. As is a household sometimes you'll go a bit over the hours but worth every single minute since you feel like part of the family, get a cultural immersion, meet locals, eat great food made by Emanuele ❤️, and if you get lucky meet tons of new places. I would definitely recommend it and I hope to comeback someday 🥰

I've found my new family in Palermo. It was a wonderful experience and indeed you are treated like family from day one. I love nature, both sea and mountains, so I'm super happy I was able to stay at the house during these days working and helping both inside and outside. Every single minute was also fun, we laughed so much (and yes, I ate so much. Sorry, to Ema's cooking it's harrrrd to resist!) I'm insanely grateful to everybody! Ema, Marc, Jess, Dani, and the piccolina! We had a lovely Easter as well! Thanks so much! Can't wait to meet you all again!

This has been my first experience as a volunteer and it has been beautiful. From the beginning I felt welcome and at home. Emmanuele, Jessika and Marco were always very kind and friendly. They always make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. Emmanuele cooks deliciously and loves to show you places and tell you about her story. About the work I must say that the working hours were respected and the tasks are simple. I did some gardening and painting work in the garden and everyday cleaning tasks. It has certainly been a beautiful experience!

My experience has been my favorite world packers trip so far! From the moment I arrived I was treated like family, I felt so welcomed. I worked at the house rather than on the boat because of the winter weather, but all tasks were straightforward and my amazing hosts explained everything. The food is INCREDIBLE, I've been able to practice my Italian and live in some of the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen. I am so grateful to have spent this time here and would highly recommend!

Great experience! Seredipa is a peaceful place and Emanuele (marco's dad) is an angel, he definitely made my stay perfect. He makes amazing food, takes us to all the nice places, is very caring, attentive, taught me Italian and helped me with any problem I had. Made me feel at home! Rooms and the house are also very comfortable. The tasks are straightforward, 9am to 13pm home and garden maintenance and clean the kitchen after lunch and dinner… I loved harvesting the olive trees with Lele. Marco is very nice but a busy guy but he'll make sure everything is ok. Grateful for this opportunity!
