I stayed at Patrick's house during the winter and had a mixed experience. While he was kind in many moments, some aspects made the stay challenging. There was no regular access to hot water, so I had to heat water in a pot and use a basin for bathing. Patrick was eager to socialize but occasionally diregarded personal boundaries, including entering my room unannounced in his underwear. While he SEEMS well-intentioned, I recommend future volunteers, especially WOMEN, discuss expectations and boundaries beforehand.

Its was our first volunteer experince and i can say that it was the best experience , Patrick was really nice with us, since the first day he explained us about the town, schedules and tasks for the day. We had movie nights after working. Also the project is a nice town not too far from Rome, you can take the bus and visit Rome during your days off. Than you again Patrick :)

The experience was fine, Patrick's a good and unique person, he's quite helpful although he can get a bit manipulative sometimes. The worst part of the stay was the place, which is under construction and the fact that there was no hot water most of the time, but overall everything was fine. We didn't have major conflicts.

Nuestra experiencia fue buena, Patrick fue muy amable con nosotras, de todas maneras lo que sí queremos comunicar es que las fotos no coinciden con el lugar, hay desorden acumulable. El wifi se desconecta temprano y el agua caliente y calefacción debe ser hablado antes porque no es de uso diario. Queremos volver a destacar que el anfitrión fue muy agradable en el trato, en las charlas y siempre estuvo dispuesto a que nos sintamos cómodas a pesar de lo mencionado anteriormente.

El pueblo es muy bonito,tiene un supermercado y una parada de bus a dos minutos de la casa que te deja en el metro para llegar al centro de Roma en algo más de una hora. Patrick es muy buena persona y podrás aprender muchas cosas con él,el único problema es que en su hogar tiene que organizar sus cosas,entre ellas estaría tener agua caliente todos los días y tener espacio en la habitación para la ropa
