Program Details
If you like nature and and want to spend time away from the hustle, this volunteer opportunity might be for you:
As contribution, you would help with the maintenance of flower gardens and lawns including watering, weeding, grass-cutting and pruning. At times, you would give a hand with wine-related matters or in the olive grove.
For the rest of the time, you enjoy one of the most picturesque countrysides - the rolling hills of Southern Tuscany - in an organic farm resort.
Volunteers at Borgo Belsedere have their own "house" with their own kitchen, laundry and common room. It is within the volunteers´ responsibility to keep this premise clean in their free time.
Activities & Shift
Your total contribution time per week is 25 hours including the following:
On Mondays to Fridays you will take care of the gardens and park in and around Borgo Belsedere. At specific times of the year you might also help with wine or olive-related things.
Additionally, every day including weekends (you can agree with another volunteer to switch this responsibility) you will help to take care of the pool.
You will see that Belsedere is a true paradise and volunteers typically enjoy the beautiful environment and accommodation. There are bikes and a car at disposal for volunteers to explore the surroundings.
Rules
Strictly no drugs and no excessive alcohol consumption. We are not a party place.
