We enjoyed our stay in Auressio very much. We appreciated that you only need to work 10hrs per week. The work involved mostly taking care of their baby, moving furniture and helping with some little tasks around the house. Mike and Eleonora are very helpful, always explained everything clearly and are open to adjusting working hours as needed. The whole valley is full of hiking trails and beautiful nature, the people there are friendly and welcoming. A big thank you to Mike and Eleonora for hosting us, we definitely recommend!

I had an amazing volunteering experience the home Edera. The place itself was absolutely beautiful β€” surrounded by stunning nature, with plenty of hiking trails nearby for those who love the outdoors. If hiking isn't your thing, you can simply relax at the villa and enjoy the garden, which is truly a peaceful place. The working hours were respected, and most of the time they were flexible, which made balancing work and free time easy. Mike, our host, treated us very well and made sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout our stay. Thank you for having us!

Amazing experience, amazing host and beautiful place with a really good and spacious room, I had an extremely comfortable and peaceful stay here, was able to help out in very well explained tasks and then enjoy the view, meet local people and learn about the culture and the language, got a transport card for all of Ticino and also appreciated that I had a cooking area for myself which is almost impossible to find in other volunteering places and really helpful, and I could go on but in general a great place I'd recommend to anyone

Ah! An absolutely beautiful place and experience! Mike and Eleonora were so kind and hospitable during my stay in Auressio. This was my first time as a World packer, which made for some nerves going into it… but by the end of my time there, it felt like a home away from home. The Valley is truly a treasure that holds such rich culture, breathtaking views, and a sense of peace that I feel is unmatched. The work was fun and I enjoyed the variety of tasks (painting, gardening, etc). I'll very much miss this place and would recommend it to anyone. Thank ya'll so much, Ciao! <3

As the first experince as a worldpacker it was amazing. I really enjoyed the nature and calmness of the place. Also there are many interesting places you can visit in nearby cities. The work wasn't that hard and I liked all of the work that I did. Mike and Eleonora were welcoming and really nice people, thank you for hosting me 😊

I had a wonderful time in Auressio. It's a good deal with only 10 hours of work / week + you get your own private room (be prepared to help with various tasks even outside of your work hours though). I did mostly painting, which was enjoyable. A little bit more organization would make the work smoother, but all in all the work was good. You will live in a very small village surrounded by amazing nature and many hikingtrails. The room is comfortable. The free public transport ticket is great, you have the chance to explore all of ticino for free. Thank you Eleonora and Mike for hosting me!

Incredible time staying in Auressio. The access to hiking trails, climbing, and pristine rivers was of particular appreciation. Mike and Eleonora were incredible hosts and made sure we had access to all the needed amenities, cultural hubs nearby, and the best hiking and swimming in Ticino! I was given a transportation and able to travel a lot of Geneva! Thanks Elle & Mike!

I had an amazing time volunteering here. Mike and Eleonora are really nice hosts and the tasks (gardening and painting mostly) were enjoyable and easy. Also, I had enough time left to explore around 4 incredible valleys. There and many cool places where you can swim and hike so if you like nature this is the right place for you. The hostel is located in a fairy tale village, Auressio, but the public bus does not go between Locarno to Auressio too often, so when you arrive the first day make sure not to miss it! I would definetely would have stayed longer if I could :)
