  Beschreibung

  In this period in October 2024, we are looking for workers because the walls of the terraces around the house, recognized as a UNESCO heritage site, will begin to be restored and there is a need for help with the work and a good cook for lunch.
  
  Come to Vallonazzo to help, rejoice and take care of a special place on the island of Filicudi.
  
  There is a small house on the rock in a large valley on an island called Filicudi, in the Aeolian Archipelago. The house is equipped with cisterns that collect rainwater and is powered by an off-grid photovoltaic system. All around there are ancient abandoned terraces, some of which we are recovering with the cultivation of ancient grains, legumes, vegetables and various spices. In recent years we have also planted about fifty new fruit trees. Around the house there are ancient olive trees, capers and lots of Mediterranean flora such as heather, broom, mastic, flowers ... and mushrooms in autumn. From the house you can see the sea, we are about 290 meters above sea level. It takes about 12 minutes to reach it from the parking lot, and from there you can go down by car or walk for about half an hour, admiring the ancient municipal roads. There are other houses along the way, which we call the neighborhood, a few minutes away.
  
  Here there is always so much to do and invent... Every day is different if lived with passion and creativity, developing the art of making do with what you have and what you can do. I would add that we cook together every day and take care of the house; it is part of what we do.
  
  --- Volunteering in October: Restoration of UNESCO Historic Walls and Life in Contact with Nature in Filicudi ---
  
  We are looking for volunteers for the month of October for the restoration of the walls of the terraces that surround our house in Filicudi, an island rich in natural beauty and part of the UNESCO heritage. The work involves manual activities outdoors, immersed in the tranquility and unique landscapes of the island.
  
  In addition to support in the restoration, we are looking for a cook who can prepare simple and genuine lunches for the group, using local products.
  
  If you love nature and want to contribute to the conservation of a historical site in a suggestive context, we will be happy to have you with us. There is always a need to take care of the land, do any sowing, take care of the trees and speak different languages. We offer food and hospitality; you can pitch your tent under the olive trees or stay in the house. Living on an island in the middle of the sea means adapting to its rhythms and habits, immersed in the purity of the elements, in the silence, in the meetings, in the solitude and in the joy of living. Here we do things for the pleasure of doing them and out of curiosity!
  
  These are the simple requirements for those who want to work away here.

  In questo periodo a ottobre 2024, cerchiamo lavoratori poiché si inizieranno a ripristinare i muri dei terrazzamenti intorno la casa, riconosciuti patrimonio dall’Unesco e c’è bisogno di aiuto per il lavoro e di una buona cuoca per il pranzo.
  
  Vieni al Vallonazzo per aiutare, gioire e prenderti cura di un luogo speciale nell’isola di Filicudi.
  
  C’è una piccola casa sulla roccia in un grande vallone su un’isola chiamata Filicudi, nell'Arcipelago delle Eolie. La casa è dotata di cisterne che raccolgono l’acqua piovana ed è alimentata da un sistema fotovoltaico a isola. Tutto intorno si trovano antichissimi terrazzamenti abbandonati, alcuni dei quali stiamo recuperando con coltivazioni di grani antichi, legumi, ortaggi e spezie varie. Negli ultimi anni abbiamo piantato anche una cinquantina di nuovi alberi da frutto. Intorno alla casa ci sono antichi ulivi, capperi e tanta flora mediterranea come erica, ginestra, lentisco, fiori… e funghi in autunno. Dalla casa si può vedere il mare, ci troviamo a circa 290 metri di altitudine. Ci vogliono circa 12 minuti per raggiungerla dal parcheggio, e da lì si può scendere con la macchina o camminare per circa mezz’ora, ammirando le antiche strade comunali. Ci sono altre case lungo il percorso, che chiamiamo vicinato, a pochi minuti di distanza.
  
  Qui c'è sempre tanto da fare e inventare... Ogni giorno è diverso se vissuto con passione e creatività, sviluppando l'arte di arrangiarsi con quello che si ha e con ciò che si può fare. Aggiungo che cuciniamo insieme ogni giorno e ci prendiamo cura della casa; è parte di quello che facciamo.
  
  --- Volontariato a Ottobre: Restauro di Muri Storici UNESCO e Vita a Contatto con la Natura a Filicudi ---
  
  Siamo alla ricerca di volontari per il mese di ottobre per il restauro dei muri dei terrazzamenti che circondano la nostra casa a Filicudi, un’isola ricca di bellezze naturali e parte del patrimonio UNESCO. Il lavoro prevede attività manuali all’aperto, immersi nella tranquillità e nei paesaggi unici dell’isola.
  
  Oltre al supporto nel restauro, cerchiamo un cuoco o una cuoca che possa preparare pranzi semplici e genuini per il gruppo, utilizzando prodotti locali.
  
  Se ami la natura e vuoi contribuire alla conservazione di un sito storico in un contesto suggestivo, saremo felici di averti con noi. C’è sempre bisogno di prendersi cura del terreno, di fare eventuali semine, curare gli alberi e parlare lingue diverse. Offriamo cibo e ospitalità; puoi piantare la tua tenda sotto gli ulivi o soggiornare in casa. Vivere su un’isola in mezzo al mare significa adattarsi ai suoi ritmi e alle sue abitudini, immersi nella purezza degli elementi, nel silenzio, negli incontri, nella solitudine e nella gioia di vivere. Qui si fanno le cose per il piacere di farle e per curiosità!
  
  Questi sono i semplici requisiti per chi desidera fare workaway qui.
