Beschreibung
Hello everyone! We are a small group of men and women around 60 years old, living together in a forest with about 50 cats and 5 free-roaming dogs, surrounded by beautiful nature.
We are located about an hour from Rome, well connected by public transport, at the foot of the Monti Simbruini, a nature reserve, near the border with Abruzzo.
We try to be as self-sufficient as possible.
We gladly welcome volunteers who can help us with various tasks: caring for our four-legged friends, maintaining fences and gardens, collecting firewood, tending the vegetable garden, and daily chores.
We host guests in comfortable 2- or 3-person caravans, with an external shared bathroom and shower.
A fully equipped outdoor kitchen is available, with a pantry stocked with food for all tastes—vegan and vegetarian. No animal products are consumed here.
There are beautiful spaces to eat together and relax!
You can also practice yoga.
In the surrounding area, there are countless natural, artistic, and cultural attractions, as well as stunning walks through the nearby woods.

I stayed here for one month, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The place itself has such a unique, beautiful energy – just being there, surrounded by nature, animals, and good people, was already special.

We hosted these siblings for what was supposed to be a three-week stay. Unfortunately, one of the sisters arrived already feeling unwell and soon developed bronchitis. From the second day, she was clearly sick, so we provided them with a much more comfortable chalet with a private bathroom, instead of the usual caravan and shared facilities. We… read more
