Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I work in an adventure park (it's 15km away), you can visit it.
I learned many things about the plants and people there and would love to share my experiences.
Help
There is a lot of different type of tasks to do around the house and the forest. Working around the olive trees, clearing the forest, imagining and arranging new spaces for the workaways, cooking for everyone and daily chores as well, obviously. You'll get a good chance to learn about different tools and how to use them, and if you come up with a nice idea for the place, I'd be more than happy to help you set it up.
In the coming year we are continuing to renovate the house, building a pergola, a fire pit and of course extending the permaculture gardens. We are looking for artists to help with murals, sculptures and foraging guides. Our work regenerating the forest will include building some bird/bat houses, clearing invasive species and making stairs.
We don't have a strict schedule for work but we eat lunch together around 2pm and dinner around 8pm.

Accommodation
ALL MEALS PROVIDED
With my work I don't always have time to cook, so if the workaways can take care of it that'd be a huge help for me, if you need anything I go through town often, and we can arrange.
We love to experience other people's cuisines if you want to share some of your recipes or delicacies (meats, sauces, spices) from home we will share ours.
We have a range of tents around the property that are furnished with real mattresses and all bedding. The weather is generally pretty great for camping and we have space for vans too.
There is a hot shower and toilet, dry toilet in the forest and a full kitchen outside for the workaways.
What else ...
We are 10 km from the first town, if you don't have a car we can arrange a ride from the train station because there is no bus to get to the house. There are lots of beaches, caves, hikes and walls to climb in the area for your days off.
We often go to town so we can always arrange a ride if you need. We are a short train ride to Napoli and Roma, Sperlonga and Gaeta are a short drive with some stunning beaches and food.

He's a social media master and made some incredible content for us with his drone and digital media artistry.
Manual tasks like spreading sheep shit and hay, clearing paths in the forest, building steps and digging clay were no challenge for him even in the full sun.

She did some amazing work repairing and decorating our clothes as well.
10/10 would host her again.
She is a very hard worker and got so much done in the time she was here. The mexican meal she cooked was amazing and if we had the right kitchen I'm sure her croissants would've been as well.
We'd love to see her again some day 😁

Even though he's young he has a really open and curious nature. He takes instructions well and has a lot of energy for work. I've never seen someone so happy while pushing sheep shit down a hill in the rain.

She comes prepared every day and can complete work without a lot of instruction. Working in the sun spreading hay, gardening, helping with shade structures and even building some steps for us she was always smiling and keeping us motivated.

Our work was flexible and we could decide what and how much work we felt like doing each day. We hoped to do creative projects and this was facilitated. We painted, made mosaics, gardened, cooked, cleaned and so on. And learnt so much.
