    Description

    Our natural Ecovillage is located on the hills of Low Monferrato Astigiano Region and measures 35.000 squared meters. An old farm built in 1908 - (now being restored) - lies on the top of the hill, surrounded by a hazel-nutyard, a big wood, a biological garden and fields all around. The Village is a private property where some people live sharing the project of creating an ecological natural village where living is sustainable, slow, natural and happy. We are politically and religion free, while encourage people grow responsible, free and spiritual, following their natural, inner values.

    In SPRING-SUMMER-AUTUMN (from 1° March to 1° November) the project FREE HOLIDAY EXCHANGE is offered to boys and girls under 34 years, who want to make an work holiday in close contact with nature, in a pleasant and unspoiled, where prioritize relations with the plants, animals, forest, nature. We'll pay a little allowance agree in case of few extra hours of work (if you do more than 5 hours par day), only in the case we need more hours of work par day. From this year 2023 we offer a benefit of 150 euros per person, on the 30th day of stay, as a reward for the past month.

    For those who are eager to loosen the excesses and growing human relationships with others, often suffered in crowded places such as city and shopping centers, is the ideal vacation. In a place where the experience of loneliness becomes virtue and work a meditation, to be done in the service of a unique project in Italy and perhaps in the world.

In AUTUMN (September October) the necessary works are the dismantling of the structure, the storage of the structures and some maintenance to prepare for winter. The daily work is 5 hours for 5 days in the spring/autumn and 5 hours for 6 days in the summer. Times and details of the activities are agreed with the individual workawayer from time to time. Timetables and instructions must be respected. In case of difficulty or if you need help, you should contact the manager of the activity.

    The programs will be awarded depending on the ability and/or opportunity and/or by drawing lots, depends on the moment, the amount of adhesions, the need of the structure. In addition, each participant sometime kitchen for all others in the group, lunch and dinner and cleans the common kitchen.

In spring (march, april, may) and in autumn (september october) the stay will be in one of the room of the bed & breakfast.
