I always was interested in chocolate production & for me it was curious to see the inside process. Mostly I worked in the shop, for me it was more fun to work in the factory & during Christmas market. I was in the end of Dec till mid Feb it's a low season. If you go at winter time you should take super warm clothes, because it's cold outside & even more inside house. Enrico & his father Antonio are hard workers. They were nice & always tried to help, if I had some needs. Working hours was 5-6 hours, but the shifts could be organized more convenient & have breaks for ex. for lunch/dinner.

Enrico & his father are hardworking and passionate for the business. If we ever needed anything, they'd be there to help us asap. We got to spend christmas with the whole family, eat tons of traditional food & learn local card games. I'm so grateful for that, felt very welcome. Through this experience I gained confidence & improved my Italian through everyday practise. During my stay there was the christmas market, which was lovely to work at. Work hours were respected & if anything we sometimes worked less. Ibla is beautiful, but if you're looking for a busy city, maybe come in the summer.

This is my third WP experience with ChocoHouse and definitely not my last! Enrico and his family have been amazing throughout and I am enjoying a different side of the experience by being with the ChocoHouse team at the Christmas Market in Ibla ✨🎄✨ Truly magical! I would highly recommend ChocoHouse to any aspiring WorldPacker out there! Grazie di tutto ❣️🍒

My time in the guest house was truly wonderful. Enrico and his family were incredibly welcoming, making me feel at home from the start. the guest house itself is a charming town, rich in history and culture, and it's conveniently located near other stunning cities that are perfect for exploring on days off. The work was enjoyable, relaxed, and easy, with clear respect for working hours. Staying for more than a month is highly recommended to fully immerse yourself in the Italian culture and lifestyle. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a meaningful and enriching stay.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and my first time traveling outside the US, and it was incredible! Enrico and the team at Chocohouse made me feel so welcome from the start. The work was exactly as described—fun, engaging, and a wonderful way to learn about Sicilian chocolate. Everyone was so kind, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to return someday. Grazie mille to Enrico, Antonio, and the Chocohouse team❣️
