The Experience
I'm developing an off grid ecovillage in widerness nature not far from Saturnia thermal baths in Tuscany Italy 📖 Please read carefully my profile. Old Tuscan Country House built in 1881 not far from Saturnia thermal baths (30 minutes), the sea (50 minutes) and the mountain (60 minutes). This project is for nature lovers that want to live an experience far from the chaotic city life. The use of drugs, alcohol and smoking are forbidden here.

I I spent a short time there, but it was incredible. The project that Franzs is developing is beautiful, the space is impeccable. In my time with him, we painted some woodwork, put together a bench, cleaned up the garden, and planted some plants. It was a super peaceful job, and in our free time, we went to see the nearby cities and Villages. I strongly recommend to volunteer with Franzs

It was wonderful to have the opportunity to take part in my first experience at Franz's ecovillage. He has an incredible project and the ecovillage is extremely well organized, making working with him a pleasure. I am amazed by the great ideas he is developing, and I am sure the end result will be amazing. The house I stayed in was simply stunning, and the surrounding landscape was breathtaking. The various private suites offered great comfort and had everything . I highly recommend the experience! Thank you Franz.

Franz was so kind & welcoming me in his beautiful home, we had great conversations. I had my own very clean private room and bathroom. The work was easy to complete. He explained every task throughly. I definitely recommend even if it's just for 1 or 2 weekends maybe the home Rome during the week, since right now he can only host during the weekends only, I will def come again. He also took me to Saturnian hot springs which is so beautiful! He was very accommodating to my plant based lifestyle that he even cooked me delicious plant based food. 10/10!!! I felt safe and accommodated for.

Il posto è incredibile, un angolo di mondo che merita di essere visto. Frans è una persona molto gentile, rispettosa, attenta, si assicura che non mi manchi nulla. Ho avuto una stanza privata con il suo bagno incluso, e il lavoro è stato divertente e non pesante. Dopo alcune ore di lavoro, abbiamo fatto un'escursione nei villaggi vicini e abbiamo fatto qualsiasi cosa. Esperienza unica, grazie grazie grazie!
