I really loved my stay with Elizabeth. I learnt new skills and had the chance to experience authentic sardinian culture. She lives in a beautiful area, if you like walking, there is fantastic scenery and views all around. I would recommend staying with Elizabeth, she is kind and understanding :)

Elisabetta is a nice person that is always excited yo share her Sardo culture with you. She is very passionate, as a good Sardinian, and that sometimes comes as too strong but she means well and is nice. Just know that this work is mostly helping her around the house and garden with chores that are becoming too difficult for her. It's not a fancy work exchange experience but you do get to enjoy a beautiful setting in the mountains with the ocean on the horizon (and occasional trips there!). Very flexible schedule and relaxed atmosphere :)

My journey at Elisabetta's house was amazing, I will always remember it. She made me feel so comfortable from the day 1, we had so much fan together, we ate good food, had deep conversations about life, visited some places and worked on her house projects. Elisabetta is such an amazing person, she's very kind and she always tries to make sure that the volunteer is on the best conditions. I definitely recommend living this experience with her. Sono molto grato Elisabetta, ci vediamo nell'Isole Canarie.

My stay with Elizabetta (the host) provided a very unique insight into Sardinian culture! I was able to meet many of her friends and go to a few parties that lined up with my stay. The hospitality of all the locals was incredible and so was the music they played. Elizabetta cooking is also incredible! So many of the ingredients are sourced locally from the island and are very fresh and delicious. The work itself is quite simple and mostly involves helping around the house for a few hours with odd jobs. I would highly recommend this experience

The experience at Elisabetta's place was very nice, she is a wonderful person who listens to us and adapt a lot to make our experience the best as it could be. She is a fantastic cook, I had the chance to discover so many typical sardinian dishes. The house is very cute and comfortable. She also took me around to visit some interesting sites of the island. Thank you again for everything è stato bellississimo!

The host is a very sweet and kind grandma that will treat you will, it helps if you know Italian or are studying it though since she does not speak English that well (she uses a translator app to communicate some times), but she is also actively trying to improve! The house is in a pretty remote area so there's not too much to do around here but walk around and enjoy the nature, and Sardinia is one of the best places in Europe to do that! I also got to visit the city of Cagliari on a free day which was a great experience. It's a rather quiet life out there, which I enjoyed!

Elisabetta was a sweetheart as a host! I had the beautiful opportunity to share very beautiful moments with her and always full of learning about the environment and selfcare education. Whenever we met we would talk for hours and hours, while she shared with me all of her culinary tips (she also cooks too well) and some wonderful facts about Italian culture. Additionally, I had the opportunity to meet her family and her beautiful hometown of Bolotana! Plus, Elisabetta loves to dance! This allowed us to share a very nice moment around salsa. I make an awesome friendship with her!

Elisabettas house is beautifully located and very cozy. You are immersed by nature and you'll live a very slow and simple life. You spend a lot of time with Elisabetta and this allows you to learn a lot about cooking and sardinian culture. She took me to friends and family which gave me a wonderful insight into this beautiful culture. Thanks to Elisabetta I could also practice my italian. Grazie Elisabetta per il tuo tempo e la tua fiducia! I wish you all the best :)

Elisabetta is lovely and her little house is so cozy in the beautiful Sardinian countryside. She cooked me amazing food and introduced me to her friends and family. The work was straightforward and not too much. I learnt so much about simple living, Sardinian culture, traditions and food. I would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to connect with nature and have an authentic experience with local Sardinian people.

Para mí fue una experiencia muy bonita, fue mi primera experiencia como voluntaria en worldpackers y fue muy gratificante. Elisabetta una anfitriona amable, querida, generosa y sociable, su casa muy bonita, la comida que me ofreció cada día estuvo deliciosa, pude conocer varios aspectos de la cultura de Cerdeña a través de su propia vida y la de sus amig@s. Me pareció muy interesante que Elisabetta con su propio estilo de vida, con su casa, hace honor al valor del agua y permite experimentar en la cotidianidad el respeto, valor y la consciencia por el uso del agua, la naturaleza y el silencio.
