  • Description

    Description

    We are a typical Sardinian farm, located in a quiet area surrounded by nature. We live according to the rhythms of nature, far from chaos, valuing freedom, respect, and authentic cultural exchange. We do not operate for profit: the farm is not a commercial enterprise. Life on the farm includes simple and varied activities, depending on the season: gardening, small farm chores, maintenance, and creative projects. There are no pressures or rigid schedules: communication is open, and everyone contributes according to their abilities. After the activities, you have free time to explore, relax, create, or discover Sardinia. We share meals and experiences: here you are not just a volunteer, but part of a small community. We are looking for open-minded, respectful people interested in a real, non-touristic experience.


    Siamo una fattoria tipica della Sardegna, situata in una zona tranquilla e immersa nella natura. Viviamo seguendo i ritmi naturali, lontano dal caos, dando valore alla libertà, al rispetto e allo scambio culturale autentico. Non svolgiamo attività a scopo di lucro: la fattoria non è un’attività commerciale.
    La vita in fattoria comprende attività semplici e varie, a seconda della stagione: giardinaggio, piccoli lavori agricoli, manutenzione e progetti creativi. Non ci sono pressioni o orari rigidi: la comunicazione è aperta e ognuno contribuisce secondo le proprie capacità.
    Dopo le attività, il tempo è libero per esplorare, riposarsi, creare o scoprire la Sardegna. Condividiamo i pasti e le esperienze: qui non sei solo un volontario, ma parte di una piccola comunità. Cerchiamo persone aperte, rispettose e interessate a vivere un’esperienza reale, non turistica.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer an authentic cultural exchange on a traditional farm in Sardinia, based on daily life and sharing. Living together, volunteers discover a simple way of life, in touch with nature and local rhythms. We strive to be as self-sufficient as possible, producing part of our own food and managing resources consciously. Exchange occurs naturally through shared meals, conversation, daily work, and the exchange of different cultures. Volunteers also have free time to explore the area, connect with the local community, or simply relax. It's not a tourist experience, but a genuine human exchange, based on respect, simplicity, and freedom.


    Offriamo uno scambio culturale autentico in una fattoria tradizionale in Sardegna, basato sulla vita quotidiana e sulla condivisione. Vivendo insieme, i volontari scoprono un modo di vivere semplice, a contatto con la natura e i ritmi locali.
    Cerchiamo di essere il più possibile autosufficienti, producendo parte del nostro cibo e gestendo le risorse in modo consapevole. Lo scambio avviene naturalmente attraverso i pasti condivisi, il dialogo, il lavoro quotidiano e il confronto tra culture diverse.
    I volontari hanno anche tempo libero per esplorare la zona, entrare in contatto con la comunità locale o rilassarsi. Non è un’esperienza turistica, ma uno scambio umano reale, basato su rispetto, semplicità e libertà.

  • Help

    Help

    Activities are simple and vary over time. They may include: light help in the garden and vegetable patch, assistance with farm tasks, cleaning and organising spaces, and small creative or craft projects. Activities typically take up a few hours a day. The rest of the time is free to relax, explore nature, visit the beaches, read, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the location.

    Le attività sono semplici e variano nel tempo. Possono includere:
    lavori leggeri in giardino e nell’orto
    aiuto nella manutenzione della fattoria
    pulizia e organizzazione degli spazi
    piccoli progetti creativi o manuali
    In genere le attività occupano alcune ore al giorno. Il resto del tempo è libero per rilassarsi, esplorare la natura, visitare le spiagge, leggere o semplicemente godersi la tranquillità del luogo.
