The Experience

Stiamo ristrutturando una grande casa in Campagna, vicino ad Agrigento, e abbiamo bisogno di aiuto per lavori edili, idraulici, elettrici. Quando non siamo nella casa in costruzione, viviamo a Campofranco, un tranquillo paese di montagna. Il lavoro è rivolto agli uomini perché per le donne è molto faticoso.

If you want to immerse your self in an Italian lifestyle, this place is for you. The work is hard but it can be rewarding to see the progress you're helping out with. The area it's s little remote but you can do some exploring if you're willing to walk a bit, and if you're flexible the host will offer you a ride to town when they are available. Meals are great, hours are respected and they are flexible about the shifts/time off. the home is a very sweet person, she makes sure you're comfortable and have everything you need. Ricardo is a guy of few words, but very nice, polite and patient.

I started my trip with my stay at Angela's and I could not ask for a better stay. I did not speak a word Italian and Angela only can say a few words in English. But you are able to work things out and have some good laughs with her. She always try's her best to make to make you feel like home, offers you amazing food and chances of getting to know the Dolomiten. Work was never more than the hours you made out before and never to much work. I've met the best people while staying there and made some beautiful experiences and memories. And the nature there is beautiful!

This was my first time volunteering and it couldn't have been better. Angela made me feel like a member of the family from day one. She was always very nice, generous and had lots of patience with me. I met great people here and the working hours were respected. I felt very welcome and was so sad when I left. I would definitely recommend this place!

My first volunteer job couldn't be better. Angela was like a mother, she is a wonderful and generous person, and an excellent cooker (she prepares all the breakfast dishes at the B&B which are delicious). We had the best food ever available. The place is beautiful and perfect for who love nature. Angela gave me lots of tips on what to do in my free time. The tasks are basic and everyone can do it. Working hours are respected. It's the perfect place to learn or practice some Italian. Thank you so much for these wonderful days I spent with you Angela, Ricardo, Giuseppe and others volunteers!

My first volunteering experience could not have gone better than the guest house. I felt at home, Angela and her nice family always treated me like one of them. During the workday you will normally help at breakfast, clean tables, wash dishes and continue with the cleaning and tidying of the rooms. It is not a difficult job, maybe at first it seems a little heavy but it's just a matter of getting into the rhythm. If you want to get into the Italian culture, language and kitchen, here is your place. I'm very grateful for everything, grazie Angela, Ricardo, Gloria and Giorgia! È stato un piacere :)

Rosy per me sei stata come una manna dal cielo!!! Sono stata molto fortunata ad accoglierti nella mia casa in questo momento dopo una terribile esperienza con altri volontari. Sei una ragazza eccezionale emani pace e tranquillità. Hai collaborato nel migliore dei modi. Spero tanto di ospitarti in Sicilia, sarai un ospite d' onore ti farò mangiare tutte le prelibatezze della mia isola e ti farò fare il bagno nelle baie più belle della sicilia. Spero che la vita ti riservi il meglio.
Un abbraccio forte
