So far so good! It's a very fun place to volunteer. Activities take place in the mornings, so you have the rest of the day free to explore Palermo. The BnB is in a central location, which makes it easy to get anywhere. Andrea is a great and fun host. Just like Giuseppe and Carmela — everyone makes you feel welcome and part of the place. It's important to know a bit of Italian to enjoy the experience more fully.

I absolutely loved my experience! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Andrea is super fun and funny, I felt truly at home. Giuseppe and Carmela are also amazing people who will help you a lot. I highly recommend learning some basic Italian to make communication easier, but you won't regret volunteering at the guest house. Plus, the Italian food is incredible!

Overall, the experience is good. Giuseppe and Carmella are wonderful people with huge hearts. However, be prepared to spend a lot of time alone, it's not a very social environment. The room is spacious and has a private bathroom, but there was no air conditioning or fan, I had to sleep with the window open, which compromised privacy since the room is on the ground floor. Andrea is friendly, but sometimes forgot to keep the kitchen access unlocked, which can force you to eat out, so don't forget to remind him regularly. The internet is good — I recommend it for digital nomads.

The shift is only mornings starting at 7:45 helping with breakfast and cleaning. work is easy and you'll have carmela and giuseppe to help you on your daily tasks. they're great people with a big heart! italian is the only language spoken there, so it's ideal that you know at least some basic italian to communicate well with others. you're entitled for a free breakfast (same as the guests) and lunch is cooked by Andrea, it's important to communicate clearly about restrictions - if you have any. the volunteer room is very good & has a private bathroom! communication has to be improved.

If you want to experience the local culture, this is the place! You will work with real parlemitanos and eat Italian food every day. The B&B is in the heart of the city, close to the train station and bus terminal, the sea, a nice park called Villa Giulia, and everything you need. The work is not difficult, you start your morning helping with the breakfast, mainly washing the dishes. After it, you will help cleaning the rooms! It's important you to communicate very well about everything. I think it's the only improvement point, the communication. The bedroom and bathroom are both great 👌
