Ciao! Collina Felice is a country-side co-housing project on the slopes of Mount Etna, established in 2023. We are a growing group of 5 people (and 13 animals) with the aim to integrate urban and countryside-lifestyle. Permanent residents are Paola (39) and Leona (35). Two years ago we started to take care of our abandoned orchard. Meanwhile we're renovating the houses, re-storing the land and taking care of our animals.

A day at Collina Felice typically starts with animal care, after that there are many other things to do. Harvesting fruits, transforming products and restoring the land are some of the most needed tasks. All these are part of a process we just started and want to develop further together with you. We like to cook, bake bread, take care of our vegetable garden, swim, hike, read, watch movies, dance, gather with friends, animals and nature.
Works can be physical labour, we will have at least one shared (vegan) meal/week, please keep in mind ;). We are looking always for two volunteers (with pleasure also a couple or friends), you would stay in a shared private room we will provide food for you and we surely will do some excursions altogether (as f.e. beach day and/or hiking).
We respect and value our environment and our planet. This is one reason we serve only vegan food.
