Our place is a coazy oasi kissed by the sun located in the historical park of Monte Sole in Marzabotto, at 1000 meters high, in the province of Bologna. It is a place of rest, sociality and creativity. Furthermore, Monte Sole is a place of history being the symbol of the partisan’s resistance during the second World War.
The aim is to create a social community and a sustainable environment in the mountains of the Appennino bolognese. We welcome social dreamers, generous artists and tireless hikers and all those who see in Monte Sole a place of memory, peace and hope.
Living an experience here means discovering the various hiking itineraries of the Natural park and its wild beauty; participating in the memory of the courage of the italian resistance during the second World War; regenerating common spaces in cultural principals; enjoying healthy food in accordance with the seasonal availability provided by local farmers and producers; developing participated cultural projects. This is also a tavern of taste, a restaurant that aims to enhance the local food production and circular economies.
If you are a resourceful person willing to live a summer full of nature, work and sociality, you are very welcome!
We are located 5km far from the train station “Pian di Venola'' and 35 km distant from the city of Bologna. Every hour there are trains available to reach the station of Pian di Venola. Once you’ll be there, we’ll provide to pick you up at the station.
To then go to the city (Bologna) there is a 40-minute trek to do and from there take the train to the station.
We're recently formed as a cooperative of young individuals, so currently, we're unable to provide monetary compensation. However, we can offer food, accomodation, and a shered sense of community.
