HI!
We are Andrea and Elisabetta and we need help to start our project in the Apuan Alps Regional Park.
The first step will be the general maintenance of a typical mountain house with plank floors that still smell of chestnut.
We are in Alta Versilia, in the municipality of Stazzema, surrounded by luxuriant nature: streams, thick woods and an incredible wealth of animals and plants.
Spectacular mountains will embrace us and can be reached by trekking on more or less easy paths: the Procinto and its Bimbi (for climbing enthusiasts), Monte Forato (from whose summit it will be possible to swing on a swing), the Pania della Croce (the Queen of the Apuan Alps), Monte Corchia (home to caves and marble quarries), Monte Nona and Matanna (with its wild horses).
Last, but not least: we are in a mountain just 20 km from the sea!
The nearest cities are:
- Forte dei Marmi / Seravezza / Querceta (train station)
- Massa (train station / flixbus bus stop)
- Viareggio (train station / flixbus bus stop)
- Pisa (Airport / train station / flixbus bus stop)
- Firenze (Airport / train station / flixbus bus stop)

We will try to teach the volunteers some work activities that we will carry out to renovate the structure (in some cases supported by real professionals from the various sectors), for gardening and agriculture, but we will be happy to learn new skills from them, in a mutual exchange.
We will arrange free time in order to give the possibility to enjoy the Apuan mountains and take a dip in the sea or in the art cities of Tuscany.
We will try to share both work activities with the volunteers and, weather permitting, also some recreational activities, for example accompanying you on the paths or cooking traditional dishes to be enjoyed together in the typical Fireplace Room.
Ayuda
What is needed?
In addition to willpower and basic DIY, carpentry skills (to fix floors or restore doors and windows, even painting them), masonry and plumbing will be indispensable.
Next step?
Recover the ancient vineyards, start a vegetable garden, take care of gardening in general; soon the time will come to split and collect wood, mushrooms and chestnuts.
In November we could also collect some olives to take to the mill.
Last undertaking, rebuilding the Metato of 1840.

Siamo stati davvero felici di avervi qui, vi aspettiamo presto!
They are pleasant people, always smiling. If you want to stay in the mountains, don't hesitate to come and help them.
For the tasks, they are manual tasks that don't require specific knowledge. Working in the garden was a pleasure!

Leon hai lasciato un segno in quella strada di Stazzema che abbiamo fatto insieme, Valeria lo hai lasciato nel cuore di Gea.

Overall positive experience, in fact Nat quickly established a good relationship with the other workawayers present and was able to help the team.
Felipe and Domi made us feel at home right away... ah no, it was our home but they behaved as if we were the guests, taking care of us and Gea (they miss you so much).
We immediately established an excellent harmony and their support was important, above all for their energetic and smiling positivity, never afraid of new tasks and many… read more
