Helping hands welcome at Tuscan glamping/agriturismo

The experience

Our little eco/glamping/agriturismo/farm all in one is located in one of the most beautiful places of Italy, in Maremma, Tuscany.

We make our living by renting our eco structures such as yurts, tepee, tree house, wooden houses a wheel house and small apartments.

We have an olive grove, vegetable garden, chickens, dog and cat. And two kids, too, so we are never bored.

Program Details

Our needs change with every season, therefore it is difficult to say exactly what we expect for a given period. In all cases, there will be a variety of different tasks.

Most of the work requires at least basic cleaning skill, or an ability to work with tools, or skills managing vegetable garden or pruning. In summer time (June to September), we are very busy with our guests and therefore lots of work is dedicated to cleaning and serving food to our guests. In spring time, we also welcome volunteers with computer skills.

Although we love to share meals, we have two small children and therefore family time is important. We ask volunteers to cook their own meals (our expense) at our guest kitchen.

Please be aware that we are living in countryside where transportation is limited. The position is suited for nature lovers, not for city folks.

Activities & Shift

We like to get things done in the morning with an afternoon and evening free. This is true especially in summer, when we serve breakfast to tourists and when we need to clean rooms for new arrivals.
