Guy è una persona amabile, gentile, premurosa, colta e con tante risorse. Abbiamo trascorso un mese in sua compagnia ed è stato difficile dirci arrivederci. Ha svolto tutti i compiti assegnati, ha dato lezioni di inglese e mi ha aiutato in tutto nei giorni in cui ho avuto un problema di salute. Una parte di Guy resterà per sempre nei nostri cuori.… read more

There was no strict timetable for work, as such, but it usually involved 4-5 hours work in the… read more

Maggie è una persona solare, dinamica, curiosa, determinata ed un'ottima insegnante di yoga. Ci ha aiutato nella raccolta delle olive per quasi tutta la settimana ed ha fatto parte della famiglia siciliana che ha tanto amato. Speriamo di rivederla presto perché un pezzetto del suo cuore è rimasto qui tra noi.

Pinella is a very friendly, welcoming, good cooking hostess. Her beautiful house is located in a wide and hilly landscape, but not too far from Caltagirone - so you can go there by bike by yourself.

It's hard for me to write this review because of how special our time together turned out to be. There's enough nostalgia to last a lifetime.
Pinella kindly welcomed me into her home and quickly immersed me into every aspect of her life (friends, family, etc.). She is an incredible woman, full of life, who I will cherish for the rest of my life.… read more

Accogliere una donna con workaway per la prima volta è stato davvero entusiasmante. Elli è una persona discreta, rispettosa delle regole della casa ed una formidabile lavoratrice. In autonomia organizzava il lavoro in casa e in giardino. È stato un piacere e consigliamo vivamente la stessa esperienza
