Villa in Swiss Alps bordering Italy

Great nature, great people. Volunteers have all day to hike, swim, read, or do whatever they please. The views are stunning, check out all our great online reviews for Villa Edera!

I manage the hostel next door, the cleaners clean, and the volunteers have fun and help out with little projects! I'm from this place and I love sharing its wonders with other people.

Incredible time staying in Auressio. The access to hiking trails, climbing, and pristine rivers was of particular appreciation. Mike and Eleonora were incredible hosts and made sure we had access to all the needed amenities, cultural hubs nearby, and the best hiking and swimming in Ticino!

I was given a transportation and able to travel a lot of Geneva!

Thanks Elle & Mike!

Pasamos un tiempo de voluntarios aqui, con Mike y Eleonora, y la verdad que son dos personas que desprenden mucha felicidad, están siempre dispuestos ayudarte, explicarte y hacerte sentir como si fuese tu casa.
Las horas y el trabajo, la verdad que se nos hizo muy llevadero, la predisposición de las personas y las vistas que tienes cuando trabajamos en la huerta, realmente increíble.
La gente aquí en suiza son muy amables en todos lados, recomendamos mucho esta experiencia y agradecemos mucho a nuestros anfitriones por hacernos sentir parte del proyecto.
Gracias Mike y Eleonora.

I had an amazing time volunteering here. Mike and Eleonora are really nice hosts and the tasks (gardening and painting mostly) were enjoyable and easy. Also, I had enough time left to explore around 4 incredible valleys. There and many cool places where you can swim and hike so if you like nature this is the right place for you. The hostel is located in a fairy tale village, Auressio, but the public bus does not go between Locarno to Auressio too often, so when you arrive the first day make sure not to miss it! I would definetely would have stayed longer if I could :)

I had an absolutely incredible time. I loved being able to live in Auressio, it is a beautiful peaceful village located in a valley filled with hiking trails and swimming spots. Mike and Elenora were very kind and friendly hosts. The tasks were enjoyable, I enjoyed being able to be outside.

I highly recommend volunteering at Wild Villa. The host (Mike) is incredibly friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure that you feel comfortable. All necessary tools, such as those for cutting trees, are provided to ensure a smooth volunteering experience. If you're passionate about immersing yourself in nature, this place is a must-visit. The setting itself is breathtaking, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the natural world in a meaningful way.
