I loved my experience at the guest house. Deborah and Davide are lovely people to work for and work with. They communicate clearly and clear up any misunderstandings. They are fair and honest and keep everything very organized and diligent. They were kind enough to offer their car so I can explore the island freely, they invited me to have lunch with them when they cooked or were going out, they made me feel included and respected. The place is super cute, the room is comfortable, and the guests were always happy and grateful to be there. I'd recommend this spot for volunteers and guests. xox
