Program Details
We’re looking for people who enjoy being outdoors and aren’t afraid of physical work. The days here are simple but rewarding. You’ll help with tasks like chopping wood, mowing, trimming, clearing paths, moving stones, or light building and maintenance. Some days are tougher than others, but always with a clear goal and a beautiful view around you.
In return, we offer an authentic experience in the heart of Umbria. You’ll be surrounded by nature, animals, and silence. We share meals, good conversations, and moments of rest. There’s time to read, explore nearby villages, or just sit under the olive trees. Please note that on Sundays, which is your day off, we do not provide lunch.
We expect honesty, responsibility, and respect for the place, for the work, and for the people around you. We don’t expect perfection or experience, just a genuine willingness to help and a positive attitude.
We’ll do our best to make you feel at home. You’ll have comfortable accommodation, healthy food throughout your stay, and a good balance between work and free time.
If you love physical work, nature, and meaningful simplicity, you’ll feel at home here.
