You are joining our historic estate at a highly practical and exciting moment. The houses are fully alive, the land is utilized every day, and our community is actively looking for people who can help make raw, rough spaces clearer, warmer, and easier to inhabit. We are nestled in the quiet Ligurian countryside, where daily life moves beautifully between stone rooms, wild gardens, forest paths, and a local stream. 🌳
Our program is built on absolute transparency and mutual coordination. Before you arrive, everything is clearly explained, ensuring that your community contributions are co-designed with you, never hidden as a surprise.
Food is handled independently for now — everyone manages their own meals using our shared kitchen facilities, which naturally sparks evolving community cooking habits and shared dinners.
Accommodations are adventurous and rustic, ranging from private to shared rooms in authentic country conditions, heated by cozy wood stoves.
Our location offers the perfect balance between nature and connectivity. We provide a stable mixed fiber/copper (FTTC) connection with speeds up to 30 Mbps.
When you aren't helping out, the surrounding area is packed with outdoor activities like hiking, climbing, and biking. Plus, we are a multicultural space where Italian, English, and German are spoken. A fantastic opportunity to practice your languages!
We offer a flexible schedule tailored to your skills, focusing on about 5 hours of contribution per day, with plenty of free time to unplug.
Your daily involvement can include:
House Reset: Cleaning, organizing rooms, preparing beds, managing storage, and performing simple setup tasks to transform raw spaces into cozy living quarters. 🧹
Outdoor Land Care: Maintaining forest paths, gathering and stacking firewood, improving access to the stream, and taking care of practical outdoor routines. 🪵
Community Rhythm: Assisting with daily logistics, welcoming new arrivals, running shared errands, and contributing to the small rituals that help everyone settle in.
Community Cook: Managing the kitchen, plan meals with our Farmer, create a wonderful shared culinary experience for all residents. Vegan-Friendly: Experience with vegan recipes is highly preferred. We anticipate that up to one-third of our residents may be non-omnivores.👨🍳
Security Deposit: A refundable €200 deposit is required upon arrival to protect the property and assets. It will be fully returned on your check-out day if all community guidelines are followed.
Visa Guidelines: we are a residential community, not a company. We are unable to offer contracts or visa sponsorships of any kind.
Legal Stay: You must be legally allowed to stay in Italy for your entire visit (whether through EU citizenship, a tourist visa, or a valid residence permit).
Rustic Mindset: "Clean" means hygienic and tidy, not modern or renovated. Expect an adventurous, camping-like indoor setup rather than hotel standards.
Transparent Agreement: All expectations, schedule flexibility, and community contributions are formalized and agreed upon before arrival.
Pet & Eco Rules: We are pet-friendly! Specific indoor boundaries for animals and mindful resource management are detailed in our onboarding attachments. 🐾
