Helping at the home was a very cool experience! I really enjoyed the task I was doing, which was restoring the painted design on the ceiling. The hosts were kind and welcoming. We ate meals together with the other volunteers, they were able to drop us off at the bus stop on our days off, and they gave some recommendations of things to do. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and the location is quite peaceful. I would recommend spending some time here!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I loved it. I did things I'd never thought I'd do, met people from all over, hiked and visited towns. The food cooked by H was great, making sure to keep us well fed after a hard day's work. S knows what he wants and has a vision for the Villa and it's admirable all the time and effort he has put into it. It's true that the current state of the Villa is not suitable for most people in terms of commodities, but I'm a very flexible person and didn't mind the conditions. I felt thoroughly rewarded after finishing the jobs that were assigned to me.

I had a wonderful stay at the home. It was my first Worldpackers experience, so I was a little nervous. However, S and the open communication put me at ease. The daily routine was always structured, and we were regularly asked if we were comfortable. Our well-being and comfort were also very important to S at work. Open communication allowed us to help decide on which projects we wanted to help with. There was also a very strong sense of community through shared meals, sitting together, and going for walks. I would 100% recommend it!

During my two weeks at the villa I really felt like part of their family. Considering the work, there was some flexibility in choosing the task, mine wasn't physical. It's quite rewarding to do the work actually, especially when you can see the vision. I appreciate their clear communication about the job and living conditions and them frequently checking in on our wellbeing. Really enjoyed the tranquillity, stunning views and amazing walks in the area. I loved my time there, grazie mille per tutto! For any more questions, feel free to reach out :)
