Franco you were the cornerstone of the house for one week. For real as you have been building a massive dry stone wall together with other workawayers. Without you, it wouldn't be possible. Me, the other people from the project, workawayers and friends have missed you so much, specially the last days. You are always welcome back home!

This was Franco's second time he stayed with us. Last year was a success as well as this year. He is a nice hard working guy whom I can trust 100%. He is really handy in most fields like masonry and carpentry and he can cook delicious meals as well. I can recommend him as a workawayer.

I was 3 great weeks at the hostel in Zagreb. The hostel is very well located and convenient. It's really a nice place to stay to fully enjoy Zagreb.
It seems that it has this little something that attracts lots of nice workawayers as well as clients. We worked with Mateja doing beds and cleaning rooms, she is clearly the good spirit of the place.… read more

I've been in Pina's house 3 weeks and it was amazing experience. Pina runs a "agriturismo" near to Tortolì in the mountain but close to the beach, around 10 min by car. You need to be prepared to eat a lot, they cook a typical sardegna food and I'm sure you will enjoy the food here.

Franco was a very pleasant, easygoing man, hardworking and sociable. He did a lot of useful work in the garden, pruning trees, including olives, and collecting wood. Every day after lunch he went to the beach until the evening. He speaks good Italian and English. We recommend him

I stayed 3 weeks with Gordon and Catherine , but it was really nice. They are very nice people and you feel comfortable since the first day.
The labours are very easy as well, take care the garden, works with the olives trees, etc. They have a bicycle and the beach is 10 min riding. I recommend it!

Franco was a wonderful member of our team. He was reliable and just got on with the work. We didn't have to check on him at all or anything like that. He was very sociable, friendly and a good teamworker. I have no hesitation recommending him to other hosts and he would be welcome back anytime!
