  Description

  If you like the mountains, nature, the magic of the forest, an active life and tranquility, you will certainly feel at ease with us.
  
  We are in a sparsely inhabited alpine area, surrounded by woods, lakes, streams and wild animals. Many areas have been preserved in their natural state; tourism is not yet mass tourism. For your free time we are able to give you the best advice and, when possible, accompany you in the discovery of small and large artistic and natural treasures.
  
  It's a magical place. You will see!
  
  We are interested in cultural exchanges and sharing experiences. Unfortunately we do not have a good knowledge of foreign languages. But we can definitely improve your Italian.
  We therefore give preference to those who have the basics of the Italian language.
  
  We have limited funds, so we are looking for volunteers. We do not offer a job but an exchange of experiences.
  
  We prefer those looking for a stay of at least 2 weeks.
  
  The place is recommended:
  - to those who love Nature
  - to those who smile at life
  - to those who have no limits
  - to those looking for a pinch of magic
  - to those who love an active life
  - to those seeking tranquility
  - to those who want to learn the Italian language well
  - to artists and writers (here you will surely find the right inspiration!)
  - to those who work in "smart working" (the internet connection is decent)
  - to those who have knowledge of botany. ..or simply gardening
  
  The place is not recommended:
  - to those looking for paid work
  - to those who don't smile at life
  - to those who don't like life in the open air
  - to those who don't want to get their hands dirty
  - to those who are passing through (we don't host for a few days)
  
  The environment you will find yourself in is typically familiar. The house is at the center of a small universe. It therefore happens that you share meals with friends and acquaintances. Other times the house empties and everything becomes intimate and peaceful.

  Help

  GARDEN
  
  The main help requested concerns the maintenance of our botanical garden. This is outdoor work but not particularly tiring. Volunteers will help manage the botanical garden, develop the flower garden, as well as take care of general maintenance (trails, mowing, watering, ...). In this context we would also like to create a gnome trail.
  
  * it is important that volunteers bring their own trekking shoes
  
  PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO, ILLUSTRATED ARTS AND SMALL CREATIONS
  
  We are already present on the main social networks but we have never had the time to take some nice photos or videos. These skills are therefore welcome. Those who are good at illustrated arts are also welcome.
  
  HOME
  
  We don't usually ask for help with cleaning, but it can happen. Instead, we like to cook and eat together. So, sometimes you'll have to cook too :-)

  What else ...

  The town center is 2.5 km away. In your free time you can visit our region which offers all possible natural environments. As well as being rich in history, art and culture.
  
  In the immediate vicinity there are several hiking trails. We are lucky to still have wild nature.
  
  In the months of July and August it is also possible to visit the municipal swimming pool which is located a short distance away.
  
  The area is not well served by public transport. However, we are available to accompany you and pick you up at the nearest train station (35 minutes away) and when possible, accompany you ourselves to discover the surroundings.
