Program Details

Casa San Tome is a very quiet place surrounded by nature and it is important to respect this serenity, also to respect our rules and our way of life. We are located on the top of a hill and on its base there is a village called Nago. From the village to our place, there is a 1 km long mountain road, and it is very steep. There are no public transportation to go up or down, so it is essential that you can move around by yourself with your own vehicle or by hiking (be sure that you are fit enough, otherwise it can be tough).

We are open only for summer, when we have some retreats along the months.



Activities & Shift

We usually have guests staying at our three apartments for the minimum of 4 days, but some can stay up to 2 weeks. So it can happen that there are weeks with no work at all and others that we have 'more' tasks to do. When there are check-outs and check-ins, we need to clean the apartment in the morning, which often takes around two hours for each apartment.

So, the 15 hours/week is an average, but you will always know in advanced the shifts we will need your help.

PLUS: If you want to offer Yoga Classes or Massages, you are free to use the Yoga Shala whenever it is free :)

Rules

Smoking only outside, no shoes in the Yoga Shala, keep the shared areas clean, be respectful, be kind, communicate if you are not feeling good.
