It was the most amazing experience! I am so grateful to Marina and Alessandro, they are great hosts and their kids are adorable. They truly make you feel like part of their family. The food was delicious, the volunteering space was spacious, clean and private and the area is beautiful. The tasks are mostly playing with the children and having conversations in English with the family. They helped me visit the different towns, as well as Milano. It was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end, the best volunteering to start in WorldPackers. Thank you so much and hope to see you again!

Couldn't recommend this Worldpackers more! Marina was so lovely and her family was very fun. I felt like I was apart of the family :) It didn't even feel like work - all I had to do was play monopoli, trains and Lego while teaching them what things are called in English. Had lots of time to explore and they took me with them on their day trips and evening activities. The food was top notch and my room was basically a mini apartment with its own bathroom, double bed, microwave, table, chairs and couch. The dogs and cat are adorable and there is tons of chickens and 3 geese as well!

I loved my stay with Marina and her family. The kids are adorable and this is such a wholesome experience for being part of the Italian culture, playing with the kids, enjoy the delicious food, nature and the surroundings. I 100% recommend the experience if you like nature, walking and exploring on your own, and being part of a family dynamic. Also great for practicing Italian. The town is small and a bit far from any major touristic place, but you can still find a way to move by bike, walking or by train. Marina was always so attentive with recommendations and guidance for this. Thanks ❤

My experience was incredible! I would definitely choose it again. During my days here, I was able to connect with nature, reflect, get to know a beautiful and peaceful city, and have fun with the kids! Marina is an excellent host and mom who opened the doors of her home and family to me, and I always felt very welcomed and comfortable. I take away beautiful memories. Thank you for everything 😊🙌🏼

I had a wonderful experience here. Marina is an amazing host and made me feel welcome immediately. Her and Alessandro helped me organise to see the local area and had such great recommendations. My off days were packed and I got to see the gorgeous area surrounding. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the children and got to bond with each of them through play. While I helped them with their English, they also helped me with my Italian which was so fun. Marina is such a fun person to spend time with and an incredible mother. Beautiful family, thank you for having me!
