Program Details

This is a small, hands-on volunteer program at a historic guesthouse in rural Slovenia that is in the final stages of renovation. Volunteers are part of a small team helping with practical tasks while enjoying comfortable accommodation, shared meals, and a peaceful countryside setting.

We aim for a respectful, collaborative atmosphere. Work is well-defined, safety-focused, and balanced with free time to explore the local area, rest, or enjoy nature. Clear communication and mutual respect are important on both sides.

Activities & Shift

Typical tasks include:

Cleaning and decluttering rooms and storage areas

Gardening and outdoor maintenance

Painting, decorating, and light renovation work

Basic carpentry or DIY tasks (according to experience)

Shifts are usually 4–5 hours per day, 5 days per week, with flexibility depending on weather and project needs. Tasks are discussed in advance, and volunteers are never expected to do unsafe or unfamiliar work without guidance.

Rules

Volunteers should be reliable, punctual, and respectful of shared spaces

This is a calm, drug-free environment

No parties or unregistered guests

Quiet hours in the evenings to respect others

Open communication if you are tired, unwell, or unsure about a task

We value honesty, teamwork, and a positive attitude more than speed or perfection.
