La experiencia

In January 2018 we purchased an abandoned villa build in the mid XIX century by a rich emigree and ever since we've been focused in saving this piece of history for posterity.
in 2024 we managed to complete the first phase of the project and the fun starts now.

2025 season we'll focus on the south wing.
Foundation reinforce, west wall rebuild, roof rebuild and first floor rebuild.
I'm confident we can accomplish the first really visible results.

Programa detallado

The work is to assist Suso, a experienced stone mason, with the renovation. Anyone willing to learn, good attitude and a reasonable fitness level is welcome.
Don't worry if you don't know how to mix concrete of use a chainsaw. We got you covered and teach you.
Suso has experience teaching and you won't be on your own.

Actividades & Turnos

Basic house chores, nothing crazy just clean after yourself.
4 hours of work outside with Suso or at home doing groceries, cooking taking care of the garden etc.
our aim is to have 4 volunteers at the same time and two shifts. we're flexible as long as there is someone helping Suso. So you guys organise yourselves.
what has been working the best is:
Two teams that alternate between morning and afternoon. That way everyone has more spare time. lets say you work morning monday shift. you wont need your help until tuesday afternoon.

Reglas

we've been doing this since 2018, and this is what doesn't work.

No pets. I'm sure your pet is fantastic. but this is a construction site. so not the best environment plus our pets are used to volunteers but not other pets.

Digital nomads, we're willing to accommodate but don't be high maintenance, like changing the shift every day.

Keep the common areas tidy and clean after yourself. this is messy enough we don't need help with that lol.
Shoes. let us know if you can't bring adequate footwear. a pair of hiking boots is enough.

Last minute volunteers are welcome but we try to get input from the volunteers that are staying already. Because you're going to share room after all.
