Such a wonderful loving family! We had a lot of laughs and dinnertime was one of my favorite times of the day. Everything was so… read more

Hailey is down-to-earth person and her laughter is genuine. She's capable of integrating into new environments with ease. It was as if we were friends already for years. She played with our daughter and we spent a lot of evenings chatting. Knowing her was a great experience for all of us! 😘 I truly hope to see you again!

Absolute gems. What a special, open-minded, kind, responsible, honest family. My 3 week stay here was incredible. Natasa provided the most clear, efficient communication from even before the exchange! She sent me recs of places to check out. The whole family picked me up from the bus station. I loved the cozy room with a balcony. And most of all,… read more

I had an absolutely wonderful stay with Leda, Natasa, and Emilio even though I was only with them for two and a half weeks, which definitely felt like too short of a time in beautiful Bergamo. They are a warm, open-minded and communicative family and I immediately felt welcome and cared for in their home.
I practiced a bit of German with Leda… read more

I had the best experience with this lovely family. It was my first workaway, so I was a bit nervous, but Natasa completely took all my worries away. From the moment of my arrival I was welcomed into the family and my stay has been filled with amazing and warm memories.

I had a wonderful experience living with this family for 2 weeks. Leda is a very talented and respectful young girl and her parents, Natasa and Emilio, are generous and welcoming. I had my own bedroom and balcony. There is lots of spare time to explore Bergamo, which is a lovely town.
