Giardino Botanico e B&B "Nova Arbora"

This place was born as a Botanical Garden cured by my parents, Donatella & Giorgio, for the past 30 years, hosting many different species of common and rare plants.
We have different areas in our property: a botanical garden around the house, a horticulture garden 400m from home, different size of ponds, a really old Chestnuts forest, we also have few cats.

My name is Andrea, I am 29 and I have been travelling the last 5 years around the world to get to know different culture and languages. I loved it and I want more people to have the same fantastic experience volunteering at my place in Italy. We are located in the middle of the Natural Reserve called “Il Contrafforte Pliocenico” on the hills of Bologna, which got beautiful trekking route such as the Via degli Dei, the famous trekking route which link Bologna to Florence in just 4-5 days of trekking, mountain biking or horse riding! With my parents, Giorgio and Donatella we also run a small B&B where we host people passing by the Via degli Dei(track going from bologna to Florence) or just occasional guests but our labor need is mostly for the garden.

Nova Arbora é un piccolo paradiso in mezzo al bosco. Sono stato un mese e mi é piaciuto tantísimo. C'é l'hai il Bosco Ed il orto per lavorare. Se ti piace caminare/trekking, ci sono tantisimi sendieri con paessagi bellísimi. Dona é carissima, puoi migliorare l'italiano con lei, imparare ed assaggiare tantísimo sulla cucina italiana e come utilizare l'erbe dal Bosco anche dall'orto nel cibo. Conoscere la sua famiglia anche é stato veramente un piaccere. Molto divertente e carina.
A volte il lavoro puo sembrare un po pesante, e si deve fare con attenzione. Ma sicuro ho la voglia di ritornare!

I had a great time at Nova Arbora! Dona its an amazing person, she has a lots of stories and cooks delicious, you will never be hungry here. This place its perfect if you want to connect with nature, learn about plants and gardening (Dona knows a lot and will teach you). I do recommend to speak a little of italian beacause Dona does not speak any other languages. The free day its flexible and there are tons of hikes you can do around or cities to visit near by. The daily routine its always different so you will not be bored. Text me if you have any questions.
Grazie mille, Brava Donaa!

Thanks Nova Arbora! Even though the work sometimes is hard, it's totally worth it. Dona is like a grandma who ALWAYS prepares something good to eat, so you are not gonna be hungry here! Since it's a family, we eat together with Dona and Giorgio (her husband) and sometimes on sundays the rest of the family comes to have lunch.
If you really want to disconnect from the city, this is your place. It's super peaceful, the only noise comes from the chickens and birds.
I suggest to speak italian, even a little bit to communicate with Dona. She always have a good story to tell💕 Grazie per le risate!

È stato un grande piacere essere a Nova Arbora. La mia prima esperienza di volontariato e non potrebbe essere meglio! Il posto è molto bello, perfetto per il contatto con la natura e per riposare la mente. I compiti lavorativi sono tranquilli, la famiglia è molto cara e l’ambiente è accogliente, mi sono sentita a casa. Dona è meravigliosa e è stata fantastica con me, ricevendomi, insegnando e preparando cibi deliziosi! È davvero una grande donna, la prendo nel cuore.

Voglio tornare e lascio come consiglio a tutti coloro che cercano una bella esperienza in Italia.

Grazie mille per tutto!

Nova Arbora is definitely a beautiful place. Ideal to relax and be in contact with nature. Dona is a very gentle and hard-working woman, always willing to provide what is necessary to make the stay of guests and volunteers better. I'm really very grateful for welcoming me as if I were family, for teaching me about plants and for feeding me so well! Experience more than recommended! Thank you Dona, Andrea and Giorgio for everything! We will see you again soon!
