I had a great time at the hostel! the hostel and Graziella are very welcoming and nice, they try to make you discovers new things every time they can. The others volunteers made this experience incredible, since it was low seasons it's not the place to go if you want to party but there's is many things to visit around and the beach is really close. The only bad thing is the bathroom it's really small and not super convenien.

I loved my time at the hostel I was so sad to leave, the hostel has everything you need and is really clean, the tasks are easy and we had shifts agreed ahead of time and on my days off I was able to visit other parts of Sicily. The town is quiet so if you want party place it's not for you but it's super peaceful and the beach is 5 minutes away. Would recommend this place always. Big thank you to everyone I met here!

I had so much fun at the hostel! the hostel and Graziella are extremely friendly and made sure to make this a home away from home (they even helped celebrate my birthday with cake and drinks). The location of the hostel is awesome, extremely close to the beach. The work is easy and the volunteers made the experience great. There weren't a lot of volunteers/guests towards the end of my stay, as it was low season. Overall I recommend :) grazie mille the hostel!

Working in the hostel was interesting, easy. The shifts were very quiet since I worked in September (off season). You learn all the reception work very wast since it isn't a rocket science. Had lots of fun with other volunteers. the hostel and Graziella are amaizing people. Thank you for the opportunity.

I had a great time in the hostel but it was mostly because of the other staff members . Because we had many volunteers some of them had to live in an apartman (like me) and only 4 volnteers could live in the hostel. The apartman is not bad but inconvinent because you have to walk 15 minutes to eat, work, cook, etc. When I moved to the hostel I liked the living situation better. Overall loved the hostel, Graziella is great, felt like she is a mother of the hostel. Also the hostel was nice, but mostly he was not at the hostel. Also the other volunteers made a hostel like a big family

My time at the hostel was wonderful! The work was fairly easy and although there is no permanent training manager, we all help each other. In August, peak season, there were plenty of fun volunteers and guests although they do accept travelling school groups. I was in the apartment and loved the space - close to the good supermarket too. I really enjoyed speaking Italian with Graziella and I would recommend being able to speak (or at least understand) Italian if you work here - it will make for easier communication. Grazie mille per tutto Graziella and the hostel, spero che ci vediamo presto 🤗

I had an amazing time at the hostel! The work was not too difficult and laid back most of the time. You spend a lot of time in the common area with the other volunteers and guests; it was very social while I was there during the peak period. Graziella and the hostel really do their best but sometimes communication was lacking due to the language barrier. I was put in an apartment a 15 minute walk away from the hostel, which for me wasn't bad for me. Overall, the other people really made this stay amazing for me. Thank you!!

My experience wasn't that great, I have good moments there but only because the others volunteers. The surroundings of the hostel is good, with one bus you're in Taormina or other places. In my opinion the dynamic of work and the owner are disorganized. They try do the best, but volunteer there is very stressful, looks like a real job but don't worth! I stay in a apartment 15 minutos walk from the hostel and you need go to de hostel for everything, walking in Sicily in 40 degrees wasn't a pleasure experience. Otherwise the breakfast is poor, isn't a real meal.

The hostel and Grazie are so nice but they live off site. This means that when people ring the doorbell in the middle of the night or need help when you aren't working you are still responsible to help as there is no one else there. Also, I was there three weeks so should have had two days off. I only ended up with two days off because they counted my travel day as a day off. Finally, it can get very lonely. Despite being told that there would be other volunteers, I was the only one. The hostel itself is very nice and cozy and the beach town is also nice. Thank you the hostel for welcoming me!

Hello Grace and thank you for your help!
Other volunteers were supposed to work at the hostel with you but eventually they cancelled their stay and you can imagine that it is difficult to find a substitute in a short span of time.

I had a great time at the hostel, the tasks were easy, only had to do the check-ins and keeping the common areas clean. The hostel is super well located, at walking distance of everything, beach, food, bus station.. Also the owners were welcoming and so kind. Sicily is beautiful and this volunteering is a great way to explore it, I totally recommend it!
