I had a great time in Schio! Communicating with Gigliola was easy and everything was explained clearly. The work was fair, i had a lot of free time which i used to go hiking in the mountains or explore Schio or the other citys near by. It also really was a funny experience especially due to the other italian guests living there during my stay. Great way to practice a bit my Italian and learn about italian culture! We were like a crazy little family in the end :)

Thank you gigliola for the tow weeks it was an excellent experience. From the first moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed. The place is clean, cozy, and well-organized, and the atmosphere was very comfortable. Gigliola was kind, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. I'm grateful for the hospitality and would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area.

The host at the guest house in Schio were friendly and welcoming. Volunteering was easy and enjoyable, with plenty of time to explore the area. Schio is a small town surrounded by beautiful mountains — perfect for hiking, though there's no nightlife. Renting a car is easy, and the guest house is comfortable and peaceful. Highly recommended for a rewarding stay!

It was an amazing experience. Gigliola is an incredible person! She is super friendly, responsible and welcoming. We went hiking on the mountains and had meals together at times, with pizza and gelato ;) The tasks in the hostel consisted of daily cleaning and arranging guests' rooms, bathrooms and a shared kitchen. There are always 2 volunteers, so doing the work takes just a couple of hours. The location of the experience is a calm and cozy city, reached by bus/train. There's a nearby park and market. People on the street will salute you, being a great way to practice your Italian. Grazie!!
