Thank you Lilith for letting me stay and work here. I had a wonderful time Gardening, cooking, developing my Italian and socialising with all the guests.

I recommend it to anyone who loves eating beautiful food, adventure and meeting new interesting people.

I have been in Monzuno for almost a month, and living here has been an unforgettable experience. From the first moment I felt sure that it was the right decision, natural, easy.

In the weeks she spent with us, Moniek was everything you could ask for in a volunteer.
Efficient and super organized at work. Always pleasant, funny and sweet, respectful of others and ready to have fun when it was time to have fun, concentrate when it was time to concentrate. In a few days she became part of the family and I miss her so much!

I enjoyed my time here very much. Lilith does an amazing job making everyone feel welcome, guests as well as Workawayers.
The work (and there is plenty of it) is pleasant, easy and not too much. It’s clear what is expected. Tasks; cleaning, baking, cooking, helping in the garden are well divided between volunteers. The trust that we as… read more

I spent almost three weeks in Lilith's hostel and can only recommend her as a host. The tasks was exactly as discussed, varied and not too hard. Cleaning and preparing the rooms was just as much a part of the help as cooking, baking, helping out at events or pulling weeds in the vegetable garden. Lilith always tried to distribute the tasks to us… read more

On a beautiful evening I arrived to the hostel, and as it was my first Workaway I didn't know what to expect. But when Lilith and Nico welcomed me I had already a great feeling about it.

This is an amazing place! Above all are Nico and Lillith perfect hosts, who are as much as possible helpful.

The feedback left by shane about us is pure poetry: it will be difficult to reach this level, almost equal to the art of the punk poet of the apennines, known for his masterpiece Dolores.

Shane stayed 3 weeks in our hostel in the mountains near Bologna, working hard and becoming immediately family to us.

He put a lot of effort into the tasks… read more

Last summer I spent three memorable weeks volunteering at the Acatú hostel, nestled in the Apennines, south of Bologna. Time flew! Keeping the accommodation ship shape and diners happy were key work areas. Working with and befriending my co-volunteers, as well and Lilith and Nico, was a pleasure. Italy, of course, was also a charm.

WorkAway made… read more sense as I had long summer holidays from the day job (in education) in the UK. Things that appealed included Acatú’s location along the Via degli Dei, and the chance to speak some Italian and reconnect with old friends. Having done WA previously, I appreciated the ethos and experience to be gained.

The work centred on the hostel, mainly – doing the change-over after guests had left in the morning and then supporting dining operations in the evenings. There were also some jobs to do in the orchard and occasional errands (e.g. taking the car to deliver flyers, collect bread etc.). While the work was not difficult, per se, the days could be quite long. (As often on WorkAway, volunteer / employee distinction can be grey :). Nonetheless, it was all hands on deck. Lilith was also quite straightforward and organised regarding the rota and allocating days off etc..

As mentioned, it was a pleasure to live and work alongside fellow volunteers, Manon and Martina. Learning that Manon was the eldest of three sisters, helped explain her instinct to lead! Not work-shy, she took on every task with gusto. She also showed a flair for style and baking, and life in general. Martina was also very able and reliable, and personable, albeit sotto voce. That she’s studying to be a teacher is no surprise; she’ll be great! My approach, as ever, was to get to stuck in, and fit in. By its nature, the hostel generated quite a volume of work (e.g. large floors take a large time to clean!). Lilith and Nico were also very much present and active, in a manner that was neither hands-off nor overbearing.

It wasn’t “all work and no play” (or dull Jacks :), however. Lilith and Nico made a real effort to involve us volunteers in social activities. There were trips to a bar / restaurant up in the hills, for pizza, poetry (‘Delores’ famously performed by a local punk poet) and live music (performed by Nico himself, on occasion – he’s super-talented :). We also took time out to attend the local town festival – turbo-folk music, line dancing, the blessing of tractors and more. On my final evening there was a De André concert, which was really quite special. The hostel itself also put on music and arts events which were really cool, even while busy at work.

In addition to the above, on days off I managed to hike the VdD and visit friends near Genova. Even on workdays, moreover, there was time to chill – a coffee / beer at Bar Franco in the village, reading, journal writing, afternoon naps.

So, apologies again for this late entry (been one of those years!). No matter, just to thank Lilith and Nico for providing such a rewarding and welcome stay. Many thanks and best wishes too to Manon and Martina. Grazie mille, merci beaucoup, míle maith agaibh, Shane
