I loved this volunteering so much that I had to come back a second time! Sicily is incredible, especially in the summer is such a beautiful place. The tasks are super chill and easy, and the food is always delicious. The people there are really kind and make you feel at home. Andrea is super funny and friendly, always making everyone laugh. Giuseppe and Carmela are amazing and so sweet and hardworking, always ready to help. I had such a great time and would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and easygoing experience! :)

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 👌

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 :)

My experience at B&B the guest house was my first as a worldpackers volunteer. I spent a wonderful month at the side of Andrea who is a very welcoming and friendly host. The work is done in the morning, just clean the rooms and common areas of the B&B, sometimes you have to check-in. Next to that you have your free afternoons and two days off in the week, so all the time to explore the wonders of Sicily. Andrea's friends are also great and all will make you feel at home. It was a rewarding experience and I leave with very good memories.
