CasaVerdi is truly just as the reviews say: a place of peace and joy, filled with loving and delightful people. It allows you to experience deep connections, even if brief, and feels like a home for travelers visiting Catania. The team is amazing, the work is fair and relaxed, and the food is fresh and plentiful. I loved my days there and felt like they could have lasted much longer. I want to return to reunite with the friends I made there. And oh, Catania is a fascinating city.

This was my first volunteering experience, and it couldn't have been better. The work is pleasant, and the communication regarding tasks is efficient. The shift schedules are respected, and we have plenty of free time to explore the city and nearby towns. I met wonderful people who gave a special purpose to my trip. Santo and Gaby, thank you so much for the opportunity. I already miss it so much. And of course, I will miss Eva dearly. Grazie mille per tutto! 🤍

My experience at the guest house was simply unforgettable! I spent an amazing month in a cozy hostel that truly makes you feel at home, as if we were all part of one big family. The room was comfortable, the environment charming, organized, and full of good energy. The work was also very relaxed :) I will always cherish the mornings at the markets and the evenings when we gathered to bake cookies and cakes. Those were special moments that will stay in my heart forever. A special thank you to Santo, Gabi, and Eva, who welcomed me with so much warmth. I recommend it 100% 🩷

I spent two wonderful weeks in the guest house.🪴 I wish I could have stayed longer because it truly became a home for me. As all the other volunteers and guests say, as soon as you enter this place you are surounded by wonderful energy. It is almost magical!✨️ The work was easy and relaxing as it was not in the super busy months and it made so much fun to greet new guests. I collected a lot of stories!!! And I made wonderful friendships🧜‍♀️ Thank you Gabi and Santo for sharing this experience with me!!! The trip to Etna was amazing... and thanks Eva for waking us up always on time:) See u

I'm so grateful for the time I spent at the guest house, the environment is so warm and cozy that I felt part of a family. I even extended my stay several weeks bc once you arrive in the guest house it's so difficult to leave! The work was light especially since it was off season and Gaby is a wonderful manager who communicates really well. The hostel is also close to one of the coolest open markets I've been too, I got to eat fresh fruits and veggies every day plus upgrade my wardrobe for so cheap! can't recommend this place enough :)
