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!

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 👌

My time spent at the guest house was truly amazing ❤️ From the moment I arrived until I left I felt part of the family. The work is easy, it consists of helping with breakfast in the morning, cleaning the rooms and sometimes if needed you do the check ins. Andrea is a very kind & thoughtful host, he cooks the most amazing food. Carmella and Giuseppe are amazing people they are so friendly and are always ready to help. My time spent in the guest house will forever be in my heart I hope to return some day ❤️❤️❤️

I had a great time at the guest house! Andrea is a great host (and chef!), and very friendly. Carmela and Giuseppe are lovely too, and very funny. Everyone is kind and attentive, and they truly treat you as part of the team. The location is also great, since the B&B is close to the historic center and very cool bars and cafés. I really recommend this experience if you want a work that is easy and can be fun, while also having the time to explore the city/island and get to know new people. This was my first Worldpackers and it did not disappoint :)

My time in the guest house was fantastic. Andrea is a great host, and took us around Palermo showing us good places to eat and explore. Giuseppe and Carmela are absolutely wonderful, they treat you like family, and I always felt cared for. Work is easy, your main role is to support the staff and often we clock off early. Sometimes you may complete small tasks outside your shifts, but nothing tedious. After shifts, we share lunch together and these moments are often where you feel you are living the Sicilian life. The location is also great and can get around easily. Thank you for having me :)
