Thank you the community and Fabriccio! I had a great time at your place and felt welcome from the first moment in your family! I loved eating lunch/ dinner all together, chatting about everything and sharing laughs:) I also really enjoyed the work: building a fence with the bamboo, painting the outdoor facilities, cleaning, drawing signs and working in the garden:) I was never bored! The house is situated in the beautiful nature of Sicily! the community and Fabriccio were amazing hosts!!

La buena vida en la finca de the community y Frabri! You will learn how it's important to do the things in the right time. They are located so close to the Alcantara river that is possible to go anytime to enjoy the refreshing water. It's a family place full of love and energy

Desde el primer momento me sentí acogida por la comunidad y Fabri. Son muy atentos y me hicieron sentir como en casa muy rápidamente. El lugar es precioso, estás rodeada de naturaleza a todas horas y se respira mucha paz. Tuve la suerte de compartir experiencia con otros workawayers maravillosos. En cuanto a las tareas se respetaban los horarios, nos cuidaban en todos los aspectos y siempre estaban abiertos a negociar o modificar cosas. Las cenas todos juntos eran mi momento favorito. Estoy deseando volver :)
