Maintenance work in charming Taormina

Overall had a good time, I had a positive experience with all staff members. They were friendly and my interactions with Francesco were always good. Depending on the shifts/ who you work with the tasks, expectations of the volunteers vary - which may affect your experience :) . Best part of the experience was interacting with the guests and making friends with the other volunteers and the staff.

There were many wonderful things about this volunteering experience and a few regrettable aspects. Most of the staff and other volunteers were amazing (thank you Connie and Facu especially❤️) and the town of Taormina was so so beautiful. The shifts were flexible and the work fairly easy. The language most commonly used by the staff was Spanish which often made me feel excluded. I also had an issue with one staff member who was very unfriendly which ultimately made me request to not have any shifts with her. Overall it was a lovely, but occasionally difficult time💛

I stayed at the hostel for only a few days because I quickly realized it wasn't the experience I was looking for. Communication with the host upon arrival was nonexistent; for example, I was supposed to go directly to the dorm, but no one informed me. The accommodation was also less than ideal—I shared a room with six people. Furthermore, the training was minimal, essentially a "go do it and learn" approach. But if you are looking for an easy and flexible schedule they have it perfect, it is only 4 our shift, and then you can enjoy Taormina and everywhere nearby.

Definitely a lot of positives and potential to this hostel experience. Everyone on the team including the owners are super lovely. The work & hours are very flexible, really loved the option to work longer days for more days off to explore Sicily! Taormina as a town is beautiful, loved the endless beach days and strolling the streets and eating cannoli. The accommodation I was placed in (not hostel) wasn't very nice. I spoke with the owners about it, but worth noting. Also almost all the staff are Spanish speaking, so that was challenging when they wouldn't include me in conversations.

Incredible experience in the hostel. It is a really magical place, every sunrise is a magical moment not to get lost from the balcony of the hostel. I met incredible people and lived unforgettable moments! I think would be better more information and explication of the staff activities during the first days of arrival, to avoid future confusions.You gonna have 1 day off but if you ask and talk in advance they will make the schedule to help you and have a second day off. Thanks you for accepting me and letting me live this experience.Also thanks to Egle, for your advices and help always!

I had an incredible experience during my my time at the Homestal in Taormina! The opportunity not only allowed me to contribute to my host but also provided ample time to explore the local culture. From historic quarters to the markets, granita, and family dinners every corner turned was a positive experience. The city's diverse culinary scene was a delightful journey in itself. The work exchange not only enriched my cultural horizons but made wonderful friendships along the way. Grateful for this unforgettable adventure!

No hay palabras que describan lo hermoso que fue pasar el mes de Octubre en HoMstel Taormina. Fran y Pervi son excelentes anfitriones, te reciben con los brazos abiertos no solo a su hostel sino también a su familia. Aprendí un montón desde el manejo del hostel (recepción, manejo de reservas, housekeeping) hasta de astrología y mitología griega con Pervi. El ambiente de trabajo es excelente, realmente se convierte en tu familia de Taormina, las horas y las tareas se respetan 100% y Pervi es súper flexible en ese sentido si tenes algún pedido especial. Muchas gracias por todo!!

Incredible time. This was my first worldpackers experience and I could not have asked for a better group/ hosts/ and hostel to be staying at. Francesco, pervina, and italo create a fun, welcoming, and learning environment. This is an amazing family environment. The hours are respected and the work is easy.

I had such an amazing month with Francesco, Pervina and the rest of the team and other volunteers 😊 The work was fun and enjoyable (with plenty of time to enjoy Taormina and other day trips), it was sociable with the guests and other workers/volunteers and I felt so at home. There was a great sense of community between us all! I would definitely recommend this hostel to others looking for somewhere to go, I couldn't have asked for a better place for my first volunteer experience. Thanks so much for everything and I'm sure I'll be back at some point ❤️
