We are an Experience hotel immersed in wild forest of central Tuscany - rebuilding a sustainable community in an abandoned village. This spring we will build a vegetable garden & greenhouse, create a recycling facility & compost, implement a rainwater storage solution & make design improvements to some of the bedrooms. During the spring and autumn we will be open for weddings, group bookings and for family holiday bookings in July & August

You will find us on the side of a mountain in the middle of the Casentino National Park forest. We are completely surrounded by beautiful nature, with a wild river running along the bottom of our track. In exchange for a few hours work a day you will have a place to sleep in our beautiful hotel, 3 great meals a day prepared by our head chef, and most of all an epic experience! There is a great team moral - we work hard, but have a great time doing it! We take Italian lessons once a week with our neighbour and work very closely with local businesses so you will be fluent in no time!
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
We are looking for volunteers to help us with all types of jobs on the mountain. We welcome all types of talents, be it hospitality, building, gardening, or entertaining the kids.
