Update 27/1/2018:
Are you a builder, skilled DIY'er, handyman or carpenter? We are searching for you!
From the middle of February until April, after this period we will start the gardening projects and many more!
Read our profile below:
This is a historic estate build in the 1920s and has 4 villa’s which are rented out for weddings, as B&B and gatherings. There is also a huge botanical garden to wander through. The rest of the estate is used as agriculture and we are just making the switch to organic agriculture. Across from the main entrance of the estate is a big field which we will convert into a fairground for local events and in this same field we are also creating a gazebo for selling the fruits and vegetables from the estate.
In February, March and April we need people with creative building skills as also traditional building skills such as plumbing, carpentry and electrics.
Starting the end of April we will work more in the field, and help around the estate, clearing weeds, planting vegetables, clearing the premisses and improving the surroundings.
There are also projects like building a hay house, creating a vegetal garden for guests to wander around in and many more to come.
We have several private rooms with ensuite bathrooms for you. All the meals (breakfast, lunch and diner) are eaten together.
As our volunteer you will work 5 hours a day and 5 days a week.
In the surroundings Ronciglione there are a lot of activities to do. Such as hiking, going to the Volcanic lakes, visit medieval Ronciglione (walking distance), ancient Rome (bus connection outside the gate), medieval Viterbo (bus connection) and visit the free thermal hot springs and many more.
We will organise a BBQ every month and have regular campfires. Also we will give every volunteer a return busticket to Rome or Viterbo every month (when working one full month) to visit one of these great cities.
We hope to see you soon.
