We are waiting for you!

I was born and raised in Bologna, I began Nosadillo Hostel with any former experience in this business in 2011 but with a great desire to do things and none to get bored!Sharing time and stories is one of the best things in my job, every travellers’ stories inspire me to do better day by day. So what better job than this?! Here is an ever work in progress, there’s always a challenge, surprise or ongoing task.If you don’t meet me at the hostel, it is likely I am in a do-it-yourself store.
