Fonteintanata Farm

Are you looking for a relax atmosphere, a break in between busy period or city trips? This is the place for you.
Come here to disconnect, to enjoy a beautiful sunset, a leisurely walk in nature, an interesting chat with the chickens and many more highlights of living in the countryside.



We are an Agriturismo that offers a sustainable form of slow tourism. We work with tourists during the high season and this is the main activity here. The propriety belongs to Nicolo's family. We're a total of three young entrepreneurs running the farm and, in order to do so, we host on average 2/3 volunteers per time. In change of volunteers's precious help we offer accommodation and we cook delicious dinners. The rest of the meals are on you! We are looking for people who can help us in our projects and with our daily routines. We'd like to have someone who don't mind to getting his/her hands dirty, working hard if needed and having its own initiative. You get 2 days off a week, and we can bring you to -Casino di Terra- on your days off in order to take a bus and go somewhere else for a day trip or weekend trip.

Santiago foi uma pessoa muito prestativa e comunicativa, foi a pessoa que mais tive aproximação. Sempre estava disposto a ajudar. Mia é muito simpática e justa com as atividades. Nico me deu boas dicas de culinária, no final fez um curso de massas com um preço em conta. Não tenho o que reclamar da experiência, aproveitei para me conectar com a natureza e ter um pouco de solitude. O único ponto negativo é que eles não costuma compartilhar muito os fins de semanas com os voluntários, creio que um mês bate aquela bad de solitude demais!

Fonteintanata was a very deep and introspective experience, due to its isolated geography. I had a lot of time alone, with deep contact with nature and my inner self. So if you are willing to such an internal trip into yourself, I totally recommend this experience. Fonteintanata crew is very respectful and friendly, though I have to say, that maybe they could just take better care of their beloved volunteers that come sometimes from so far, so full of fears and uncertainties. Starting with improving and better maintaining the volunteers premises, and fixing the water shortage problems.

I had a wonderful time here, doing my first volunteering. The area is very beautiful and peaceful, on Tuscan countryside. Nicolo, Mia and Santi are super nice, very friendly, flexible, it was very nice to spend a month here. Finally, workload is very manageable, tasks are diversified so you never get bored :). I would definitely recommend this volunteering 🤗
