Cascina degli Orologi

They will find a cozy place surrounded by a wonderful garden, where they can find an open friendly atmosphere. There is a lot to see around, Milan and Turin are 1 hour away, lake Orta 30 min, lake Maggiore just 10 min, mountains all around. They will also find the tastiest Italian food (Alberto started his career as a cook) and will be merged into Italian culture.

We are a flight attendant and a catering director, who renovated an old country house with a 7000sqm garden. Our main passion is travelling and get to know new cultures. As stated in the main description, 25 hours a week are normally enough, but we ask some flexibility if some tasks need to completed within the day, especially in summertime with longer days. We will be flexible too in giving an extra day off in return or when needed. They will have all the main meals with us and come with us to visit places and friends if they want to. They will also have a bike at disposal.
Please be aware that we are not able to help with citizenship requests and to host vegan volunteers for organizational reasons.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Alberto and Ale.

Alberto, even though you might seem tough on the outside, you have an enormous heart—in your own unique, strong, and caring way.

Ale, your attention to detail, care, and organizational skills are truly incredible; everything is always so well looked after.

I am so grateful for this opportunity and thankful for everything. Thank you so much! May God protect and watch over both of you.

Es una experiencia magnífica. El lugar es estupendo y la compañía de Alberto y Alessandro hacen que todo sea muchísimo mejor, siempre están dispuestos a ayudarte, guiarte en lo que necesites, tener muy buenas conversaciones y aprender demasiado. Vas a comer muy bien, tendrás tu espacio propio, podrás gozar de una tranquilidad excesiva, compartirás con los perros que siempre tendrán una caricia para darte y seguro que encontrarás muchas cosas más para vivir allí. Primera experiencia como voluntario y fue espectacular. Los echaré de menos!

La experiencia en la Cascinha la casa, fue una experiencia inolvidable! Alberto y Alessandro te hacen sentir como uno más de la familia! Sus perritos Arek, Zar, Zeus, Rafa, Laika y Kimba son super cariñosos y bien comportados, las labores son fáciles de realizar, cuidar de los jardines, plantar arbolitos y nuevas plantas, ayudar a crear nuevos espacios en los jardines, y cuidar a los Perritos! Tu espacio es completamente privado, con tu propio baño, con bañera :), y las comidas, una delicia ☺️ Feliz volvería a realizar este voluntariado y lo recomiendo 100% a todo mundo❤️
