Gisella was a very nice host; always opened to communication and helped in everything I needed. The tasks are very easy; cleaning the house, some laundry and taking care of the kids (I learn quite a lot of italian with them !). Thank you for everything Gisella and Baraka!

My stay with Gisella and her family was absolutely wonderful! She is an exceptional mother, and the kids are so very sweet :) I was provided with a very comfortable private room, hours were as listed, three meals a day, it felt like a home away from home! Spotorno is a lovely town, the beaches especially. If you're learning Italian this would be the perfect place to practice. I'm so thankful for my time here ❤️

I had a great experience with Gisella and her family, they are really nice! The kids are so much fun and helped me a lot to learn Italian! It felt like home! We had meals together, went for walks and enjoyed the beach together many times, I had a great time! The working hours were respected and flexible, I helped with taking care of the kids, cooking and cleaning. Food was provided and she always prepared the best salads!!! My room was comfy, the house is good, well located, close to the train station, city center, and gorgeous beaches! I recommend it! Grazie mille Gisella and Baraka! :)
