    Description

    We are located in a sparsely populated Alpine area, surrounded by forests, lakes, streams and wild animals. Many areas have been preserved in their natural state; tourism is not yet mass tourism. It is a magical place, steeped in legends. If you like mountains, nature, the magic of the forest, active life and tranquility, you will definitely feel at home with us.

    We are interested in sharing experiences. We love to listen and tell stories.
    We like this "exchange" and it encourages us.

    We have very limited funds, so we are looking for volunteers.
    We prefer those looking for a stay of at least 2/3 weeks.

    The place is recommended:
    - to those who love nature
    - to those who smile at life
    - to those who seek a pinch of magic
    - to those who love an active life
    - to those who seek tranquility
    - to those who want to learn the Italian language
    - to artists and writers (here you will surely find the right inspiration!)

    The place is not recommended:
    - to those who are looking for a paid job
    - to those who do not like nature
    - to those who do not want to get their hands dirty

    The environment in which you will find yourself is convivial and familiar.
    We are all adults. It's a very open and free environment.

    The house is at the center of a small universe. It therefore happens that meals are shared with friends and acquaintances. Other times the house empties and everything becomes intimate and incredibly silent. So, if you are looking for chaos and city life you will not find them here.

    Unfortunately, we do not have a good knowledge of foreign languages. But we can certainly improve your Italian language skills (we are very good at this).

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We can offer you cordiality, company and experiences (professional and human).Above all, you will have the opportunity to observe the particular management of the forest that allows its use at night.

    Daniele is a careful connoisseur of the history and natural places of the area. He will be happy to accompany you to discover the natural and artistic beauties of the area.

  • Help

    Help

    The main help requested is for the maintenance of our park. These are outdoor tasks, but not particularly strenuous. Volunteers will contribute to the development of the flower garden, as well as general maintenance (construction, path making, mowing, irrigation, ...).

    Help with video/photography, art, and music is also welcome.

    We don't usually ask for help with cleaning, but it can happen. Instead, we like to cook and eat together.

    * it is important that volunteers bring their own hiking shoes

    We will cook and eat all meals together. The cuisine is typical Friulian cuisine: cereals, soups, vegetables, meat, cheeses, sausages. If you are vegetarian we try to accommodate your needs.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The meeting point will be the Udine or Carnia train station. Then we will reach the house by car.

    The house is immersed in the forest. The nearest village is 2.5 km away.

    Some interesting hiking trails pass by the house, there is also a beautiful alpine stream here.

    Without your own means of transport, it is not easy to move around the neighboring countries. But do not worry, once or twice a week we will accompany you ourselves to visit the natural and artistic beauties of the region according to your preferences.
