I had a beautiful experience, I thank Margherita for opening the doors of her home and sharing her talents with us. Take the dance and tamburello classes with Sicilian was incredible, I learned and enjoyed a lot. My mornings and afternoons walking Dudu were the best. I also had the opportunity to contribute with my art, designing visual graphics, videos, and updating their website, it was a pleasure! The other cleaning tasks were quiet perfect for have time to go to the beach, eat Granita, ice cream or pizza :). If you go in summer, consider that it is very hot. Grazie mile! torno presto ;)

Este voluntariado ha sido una experiencia increíble para mi. El lugar es precioso, lleno de verde y árboles frente al mar. El espacio de alojamiento está muy bien, tienes tu trailer independiente y compartes baño y una cocina bien equipada. Las tareas son simples, Margherita es muy clara con lo que te pide hacer y respeta las horas de trabajo. Al ser una casa de huéspedes, cuando yo estuve siempre había gente de distintos paises con quienes compartir una charla o un café. Aprendí mucho de la cultura siciliana; música, costumbres, etc. gracias a Margherita :) Me encantó, quiero volver!
