Our project arises from the desire to reactivate the spaces of the house and the surrounding land, sharing daily life in a peaceful environment immersed in the green of Umbria. The structure is a large period farmhouse located in the Pietralunga countryside, in a very quiet setting where nature reigns supreme and the nearest houses are a few hundred meters or kilometers away.
We are looking for single volunteers or couples, willing and independent, who wish to support a senior host with great experience and a very sociable spirit.
In exchange for this daily help, you will have a comfortable room with a double bed, basic internet connection, full coverage of all three meals of the day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared at home with genuine ingredients and the possibility to learn or improve Italian thanks to the rich home library and stimulating evening conversations.
Additionally, during one of your days off, I would be happy to give you a car ride to visit one of the wonderful art cities or historic villages located around Pietralunga and Perugia!
The main daily activities include:
Interior painting, land care, small domestic maintenance and help with cleaning shared spaces.
The collaboration requires a weekly commitment of 25 hours distributed over five days, guaranteeing two full days of total relaxation each week. The program is designed for those seeking an authentic break from the city hustle, wanting to learn Umbrian rural life and to experience a true family-style sharing in a regenerating landscape setting.
Cleaning and respect: Keep your own room tidy and leave shared spaces clean after daily use.
Respect for nature: Preserve the peace of the place and treat the vegetation and the exterior spaces of the farmhouse with care.
Open communication: Always calmly express every need or doubt, maintaining a sunny and respectful attitude towards a host with a lot of history to tell.
Autonomy and flexibility: Being in a remote area, it's important to love the tranquility of the countryside and be ready to adapt to the genuine rhythms of rural life.
