The experience

Are you eager, energetic, and love communal living? Come help us build a house, maintain our property, make spaces welcoming, and keep our ecological footprint small. Right now we are looking for two strong volunteers who love being outside - either a couple or two people travelling together (willing to share a living space, but not necessarily a bed). We are finishing building a new cottage and terracing part of the terrain and need help!

We offer: A place to live, lots of good food, and a great cultural experience! Learn Italian (or English), how to cook maremma specialties, and how to relax into the flow of the Baciarino life. Chandra is an artist (ceramics, fibre, bookbinding). Andrea is a wizard in the kitchen. We have a small menagerie of animals; kittens, donkeys, chickens. And the surrounding nature is SPECTACULAR


Activities & Shift

5-6 hours of work a day, 5 days a week. Your ideas, your energy, your knowledge.
The work is pretty flexible - there are a wide variety of tasks and projects that need doing. So you get to choose what fits you best.
And you get to shape your own day. Late riser? no problem, work later. Early bird? get started when you want! We love people who take the initiative!


Rules

We live on the side of a mountain - in order to enjoy your stay, you have to be physically fit enough to navigate the combination of stairs and steep trails of this landscape.
