Activities & Shift

The work involved is extremely varied. Activities at the villa will depend on when guests arrive and leave.

In the Food Forest and vegetable garden typical activities will include planting, mulching, irrigating, harvesting, grass cutting and weeding.

Our lifestyle also includes food preservation, woodland management and firewood preparation, wine making etc., and volunteers will have the opportunity to get involved.

There's plenty to learn.


Rules

Mutual respect at all times. Get involved and have fun! Get off your device and no headphones. It's about socializing.

We are in the middle of the countryside, but bikes are available for trips to local villages and towns on days off. We are only 2 hours from Rome.

The accommodation in the cottage is 2 double rooms, and in the villa 3 double bedrooms.
