Program Details

We encourage our volunteers to connect with our guests and make recommendations ,I like that the volunteer spent time with the guests ( go to portofino park for snorkeling, kayak, swim and of course try the ligurian food and cook togheter, italian regional food. We offer a free good breakfast with coffee/cappuccinos.( eggs and cheese) or fresh fruit and yogurt On Friday's or saturday we make a classic Ligurian meal and occasionally offer barbeques and other Italian specialities. Very important is the sustainability and help the guests how to be responsable ( we have drinking water free very good), so the volunteer will help the to reduce packaging, no supermarket,in this area we have lot of very good quality little shop with fresh pasta, pesto , fruit and vegetable shop ecc..,where we will help local economy and make a correct waste sorting collection ( paper, waste, plastic)
