The Experience

Our project is a place of a family atmosphere, quiet and cozy. Ideal for the volunteer who is looking for a quiet place to stay in Florence while helping us with check-in, check- out and reception tasks. You'll have a lot of free time to discover the area while enjoying your private ensuite room. We are friendly and respect each other's space. We don't mind fun but we're not a party place.

The guest house is a beautiful place in the best part of Florence, it's perfect if you want to get to know the city a little bit, and if you are not planning on leaving the city. The room is nice, it has everything you need and you have a lot of privacy. Anna the owner is lovely, she was very special to me and made me feel welcomed from the beginning. Stefania is also very nice, respectful an clear about what needs to be done. The only thing to consider before coming is that you need to be available always for check ins, so if that's not a problem, this is a great place ❤❤❤

It was a great experience to improve my italian. The tasks are very easy: check-in, checkout, welcoming guests... The place is very beautiful, very well situated & the staff is really nice. You may feel lonely as you will be working alone but you will also have a lot of free time (you never know in advance though as you must be available 7/7)Your room isn't one of the hotel which can be surprising at first but you'll have everything you need. Although we had some miscommunications, Stefania was very open to dialogue to improve the experience she offers so it's positive for the next volunteers

Volunteering at the guest house was a wonderful experience. Very comfortable bed, private bathroom, and kitchen access in a historic, charming the guest house. Anna, Stefania, and Iryna were all very hardworking, kind, and communicative. Location is fantastic in the heart of Florence. I'd recommend this for a traveler who is very independent, as you're working alone. The tasks aren't too stressful, but you do need to be available every day.

It was a very nice experience! You have a lot of free time (I was there in low season, Nov/Dec), but also there's no fixed schedule so you have to be available 24h. The room has everything you need and you have access to the kitchen (I was not allowed to use the washing machine tho). Stefania was very helpful and has a lot of patience. The tasks are easy but you are always alone in reception. I'm grateful for my stay in the guest house, is the perfect place to discover Florence. Contact me if you have any questions!
