  Description

  We enjoy sharing experiences and forging deep, authentic connections. We love both listening to and telling stories.
  
  We welcome guests from April to September. In exchange for room and board, we ask for help tending our garden. We prefer stays of at least three weeks but are happy to host for longer periods, especially for those with an open mind and a passion for the mountains and nature.
  
  Proficiency in both Italian and English is required for the months of July and August.
  
  We live in a remote, wild Alpine area where time seems to slow down and nature breathes freely. Ancient forests, silent lakes, crystal-clear streams, and wildlife surround us, acting as guardians of a world suspended in time. Tourism has not yet left a heavy mark; many areas remain pristine, preserving ancient legends and mysteries.
  
  If you feel the call of the mountains, a simple life, and a special connection with Nature, you may have found your sanctuary.
  
  We offer educational and nature-focused activities at the park. It is frequented primarily by women who appreciate a welcoming and sensitive atmosphere. Ideally, we welcome volunteers who resonate with this energy, though we remain open to anyone who feels aligned with the spirit of this place.
  
  Our financial resources are limited; this is a volunteer experience based on exchange, trust, and reciprocity.
  
  🌿 This place is recommended for:
  
  - those who love nature and want to connect deeply with it sociable
  - open-hearted people who embrace life with a smile
  - those seeking a touch of magic and freedom
  - those who love an active lifestyle but also appreciate tranquility
  - those who want to learn Italian
  - artists, musicians, writers, and creatives seeking inspiration
  
  🚫 This place is NOT recommended for:
  
  - those looking for paid work
  - those who do not love nature
  - those unwilling to get their hands dirty or step out of their comfort zone
  
  The house sits at the heart of a small universe. Sometimes alive with voices and shared meals, at other times silent and deeply restorative. The atmosphere is convivial and free.
  
  If you are looking for chaos and city life, you won't find them here. But if you wish to slow down, listen, touch the earth, and let the essence of things touch you, the forest awaits.
  
  We may not speak foreign languages ​​perfectly, but we are excellent Italian teachers.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You'll become part of our family and share with us history, culture, and good food. We love connecting with nature. We are expert guides and offer Forest Bathing, Eco-Mindfulness, and Grounding experiences in a pristine environment. We're surrounded by beautiful forest, which we make accessible even at night with an incredible nighttime nature trail.
  
  Daniele is a keen expert on the area's history and natural sites. He will be happy to accompany you on a discovery of the area's natural and artistic beauties.

  Aide

  The main help requested is for the maintenance of our park. These are outdoor tasks, but not particularly strenuous. Volunteers will contribute to the development of the flower garden, as well as general maintenance (construction, path making, mowing ...).
  
  Help with video/photography, art, and music is also welcome.
  
  We don't usually ask for help with cleaning, but it can happen. Instead, we like to cook and eat together.
  
  There are no set days or hours; everything is handled with the utmost friendliness and availability. So, if you need time off for your artistic pursuits, study, or remote work, we'll definitely find a solution. Work generally focuses on mornings and/or evenings (especially weekends).
  
  * it is important that volunteers bring their own hiking shoes

  Hébergement

  We only host one Workawayer at a time.
  We offer a single room with a private bathroom. The room has direct access to the garden. You'll sleep soundly and peacefully.
  We'll provide everything you need for sleeping. However, you'll need to bring your own toiletries.
  
  We recommend casual (sports) attire. Bring comfortable, inexpensive work clothes. If you're coming in the summer, also bring shorts and a swimsuit.
  
  We'll cook and eat all meals together. The cuisine is traditional Friulian: soups, pasta, rice, vegetables, meat, cheese, and cured meats. If you're vegetarian, we'll accommodate your needs. If you are vegan or pescetarian, please let us know in advance, as this could cause us some difficulties (mountain diets are very different...).
  
  If you love music, we'll provide an electric piano, a guitar, and an accordion.
  
  Smoking is not permitted in the house.
  
  Pets are not allowed (we have a very territorial cat).

  Autres infos...

  Interesting hiking trails pass near the house; a few hundred meters away is a beautiful alpine stream and some World War II bunkers.
  
  We are in a remote area. The nearest village is 2.6 km away. Without your own transportation, getting around is not easy. But don't worry, once or twice a week we will personally accompany you to visit the region's natural and artistic beauties, based on your preferences.
  
  If you are staying with us for at least two weeks, we will pick you up at the Udine train station and drive you to the house.
  
  If you are staying less than two weeks, we ask you to arrive locally. You can do so by car or train + bus from Udine.
