The work is quite casual and sometimes I felt like I didn't have much direction though, the language barrier played a big part in that. Being on the road for… read more

I had the best experience staying here! They were extremely kind and welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable. The work was simple. Veronica and Alessio took me exploring around Carrara, and helped me plan trips to nearby Cinque Terre and Lucca. My favorite part was definitely getting to go out on the boats and explore the beautiful coast!
