The Experience

*UPDATE* Pruning trees in Jan Hi there! We're Liliana and Carmelo and we're running our glamping in Sicily. We have 4 bell tent in a 11 hectar property, among olive and almond trees. We are passionate about living surrounded by nature and quiteness and would like to share our passion with our hosts and workawayers. Our place is perfect for country lovers, as we're far enough from town to enjoy the sounds of nature and an astonishing starry sky.

I had the most incredible month staying at the camping with Carmelo, Lilliana and Lorenzo. The experience was so enjoyable, a beautiful place to enjoy nature, and learn about local Sicilian culture. I am so grateful for my Italian family for welcoming me into their home — it was sad to leave but it was a “see you soon!” I will be back for sure! If you're considering applying to this position I highly recommend. I have answered some questions/posted lots of content on my IG - @taylordncn - if you're curious ☺️

First experience as a world packer.. I enjoyed it a lot, helping Carmelo for a couple of hours in the morning, then having a delicious lunch, and after that I had the whole day to go out and explore or just relax and enjoy nature , they were all very nice, and I felt comfortable at their place. I tried delicious and authentic Italian food, my favorite meal was Pasta a la Norma, I also loved homemade gelato. I felt like part of the family. I absolutely loved the experience!

Amazing experience with an AMAZING host family! I spent the mornings working with Carmelo, sometimes making beds in tents but mostly doing odd jobs around the house (I came before the busy part of the season). After lunch I had time to relax and enjoy nature. They made it very easy for me to get to town and back home, they are flexible with drop off/pick up times in Noto on days off. They suggested places to visit in near by towns which I found very helpful. My bedroom was comfortable and private, separate from the main house. Great place if you are looking to reconnect with nature.

Spend an incredible weeks with Carmelo, Liliana and Lorenzo, they made me feel part of their family from the first moment. The mornings of work and Heat are enjoyable with Carmelo, and in a couple of hours you have the day free to enjoy the nature and tranquility of the place, I also visited beautiful places and I had the opportunity thanks to Carmelo to eat delicious typical Sicilian food !! Without a doubt an incredible experience and very grateful to them. ❤️

Alba, a delightful guest from Spain, recently spent 2 weeks with us, and it was a pleasure having her as part of our glamping. She approached each task with a cheerful attitude, which was greatly appreciated and made our daily routine smoother.
Thank you for being with us!
