Descripción
My name is David, I started our family hostel 11 years ago when my wife and I shared our little "palazzina" home in the old town with guests and since then then we have hosted many happy travellers. I have 3 daughters Emily, Catherine and Lily Jane who are 10 years, 8 years and 2 years of age respectively and who I absolutely adore. I love my job and I can see myself doing this forever :-) I think people love staying here because it creates such a chilled out atmosphere and the large balconies and garden terrace allow people to meet very easily. There are many great restaurants and cafes nearby and the beach is only a short walk. Being so close to the train station is also very convenient for day trips.

This was my first work away experience and I had a blast! David was a fantastic host - kind, helpful, patient, with a good sense of humor and caring.
The hostel was very cute, in a good location (close to the train station, food shop, market, city center). Job was easy - simple daily tasks, like checking email, talking with guests, preparing… read more

MIlda was more than just a helper in the hostel. She was organised, efficient and quick thinking and these skills enabled her to manage many all aspects of the reception, bookings, house keeping and breakfast with ease. She was able to deal with several situations (like complaints from guests) with expertise and without any difficulty.

I can honestly say that I don't think I have met a kinder, more humble person than Ayser. The feedback which I received from guests was consatntly how nice she was and this was also reflected in all the positive reviews we received about her. She was very organised behind the reception and always happy to give her time to assist guests answering… read more

I had a great time of Workawaying at David's hostel in Bari. David himself was a very kind and adaptable host who was always ready to help. The work was relaxed and with a good structure so you can plan what to do with your free time. And the region is offering a lot to discover!

What can I say about Rosario that will justify her contribution to the hostel? In her six weeks here she brought so much positive energy to both fellow staff and guests alike. Her smile was contagious - something that in the hostel environment counts for so much. Her tasks were carried out with the minimum of fuss and her efficiency, organisation… read more

I spent 6 weeks working for David and really it was a fantastic summer. We made a good team and I´m so happy I took the decision of traveling to Bari. I´m still in touch with the workawayers I meet there and the feeling was like being at home.

This was my first workaway, and I think I peaked! David is the best boss man, so easy going and really friendly. Worked with some amazing people here.. Had the best 2 months in Bari, such a good spot to visit. Bari itself is beautiful, and is surrounded by beautiful little towns, perfect for day trips! Thanks for everything David!! : )

Chloe stayed at the hostel for two months and in that time her tasks included, reception, admin, housekeeping, money handling and tourist information. Chloes was everything you would want in a worker. She was energetic, conscientious, not afraid to use her iniative and all with a sense of humour. No task was too dificult for her and I always felt… read more

What can I say about Elena that will justify what an amazing help she was in the three months she stayed in our hostel. Her commitment to doing the best she could at any task, her positive energy and smile, her iniative shown in solving problems and her ability to communicate with all types of guests are some things that stick out in my mind.… read more

Ana stayed with us for 2 months and in that time she fitted perfectlly into the hostel atmosphere. She was great with the other guests, often doing more than was asked of her. She was punctual, tidy and above all carried out all the tasks assigned to her with 100% commitment. Thanks Ana and good luck with everything!

Franziska stayed with us for 1 month and was just an absolute pleasure to have around the hostel. She carried out all her duties with integrity and was very reliable and sweet. I would have no hesitation in recommending Franziska as the perfect Workawayer. Thank you Franziska and all the best!

Farah was an absolute pleasure to host. She got along great with the other workawayers and also with the guests. I especially liked her personable approach and her easy going nature. I would definitely recommend Farah to any workaway host and I wish her all the best for the future.

David is a really nice guy, very generous! He is easygoing and gave us the trust to get some responsibilities, but he's always there to help out with the work that needs to be done or giving advice to guests. Every now and then a shift can be very busy (cleaning beds or check ins) but most of the time it… read more
