I stayed with Silvia and her family for 5 weeks. It was my first workaway experience and it was really special. It's not common to visit Italy and go to Sardinia for the wintertime, but I enjoyed the quiet of her town and was able to get to know the area without the busy tourist crowd. Silvia and her family are very kind people. They want you to… read more

What a nice family and what a lovely place. I spent one month with these 5 wonderful people, age 14-92, all different and all so great. The work was well defined relating to the care for Nonno, twice a week. Other activities were not always clear, last minute changes of plans were normal (Italy? ;-)). Work was never to hard/much. thank you for the… read more

Very welcoming, easy going and open family. I enjoyed spending time with them talking and going out but I also had enough time for myself and was also free to take some time off to explore the environment. The tasks were quite easy and not too much. I enjoyed staying with Silvia and her Family quite a lot and d love to come around again :)

It was a pleasure to have Kristina with us. She is smily and helpful, very tidy and clean. She played with my 12 yrs daughter and we had good moments of conversation. She is indipendent and explored the surroundings, meeting people. We'll be happy to host her anytime :)
