What an amazing experience staying with the family!

First of all, they're a wonderful, very friendly and happy family who will make you feel at home as soon as you arrive! They're so helpful with everything and they have a lot of great ideas about how to spend free time, places to visit and people to meet. And of course, their home is absolutely… read more

I loved my stay with the Carbone family! It was made sure that I felt welcome and comfortable. The family really is a typical Italian family for the experience. I stayed with them the month of September in 2018. Luigi is a happy funny kid who is also very energetic. Only the occasional use of tough love was needed, but this was during the English… read more

People say a family makes a house a home, and this was no exception. Luciana, Luigi, and Scipione stole my heart, and I will always feel like I left a part of me back in Naples with this family.

I absolutely loved staying with them. Not only did they have a beautiful home in the perfect location in Napoli, but they made a huge effort to include… read more me in their lives and make me feel part of their family, and that meant so much to me. Sharing dinner together was always a special time. The room they had for me was perfect, with a big window looking onto a terrace, natural light, and private bathroom. Their housekeeper was also delightful.

I had the honor of spending the Christmas holiday with them, and they let me be part of all of it! Setting up the Precepe, shopping for additional pieces, decorating the tree, hosting holiday parties, grocery shopping, trying different pantone cakes, and more. It was so special, and I will forever cherish these memories.

Everyone in the family spoke impeccable English. In fact, my Italian actually got worse since I never had to use it. haha. A little about the family:

Luigi is smart and creative! I loved how imaginative he was. He can make up a game or story out of anything. To say I enjoyed my time with him is an understatement. I only wish we could have spent more time together! It turns out that 10 year old boys have very busy lives! His schedule was full with school and activities with his friends, but nonetheless he was still kind and willing to play with me when he had time. Eventually, you'll probably see him on TV as a famous actor or a professional skier. Either way, this kid is going places.

Luciana, the mom, is intelligent, caring, and very considerate. She was always looking out for my best interests, making sure I felt at home and that I had everything I needed to have the best trip possible (and I did). She taught me so much about life in Naples, taking time to explain things to me and encouraging me to experience things first-hand.

Scipione, the father, is hilarious! And incredibly humble! Even with English being his second language, I was continually surprised by the depth of his wit and intelligence (he knows enough about everything to speak eloquently about it, and in English! It is remarkable!). His laugh alone will make you laugh. It makes me smile just thinking about it.

It would be an honor to stay with this family again, and I would do it in a heartbeat. I couldn't have asked for a better work away experience. Thank you Luciana, Scipione, and Luigi for the most wonderful holiday. God bless.

This was my first workaway and fortunately it turned out to be the best experience I've had. I was always keen to stay with Luigi and help him improve his English because we had so much fun talking and playing. Luiciana was so helpful and kind to me, she always allowed free time for me to go and explore Naples and so I was able to come to love the… read more
