The Experience

Located in a small mountain village we are looking for volunteers that look to immerse themselves into the tranquil and unhurried life that Pellumbas has to offer. As no day is the same as the previous one and activities vary according to need you will need to be flexible and able to adapt to whatever the day may bring. You can expect to particpate in cleaning all around the house, gardening, cooking, arts/crafts and reception work.

The guest house is indeed a very special place. It's where nature is absolutely embracing, and you truly feel part of it. In my time there, I met truly wonderful people, learned a lot of new things, such as making bread and humus, or how to even get further from my comfort zone. As always, there's room for improvement, in things like the volunteers responsibilities, or the organization of the tasks themselves. However, the guest house end, those improvements were already happening, and I'm confident they will be for the best. Everyone that feels attracted to this place, will find it healing.

THE place to stay for some beautiful nature near the big city! There are volunteers coming and going, so every couple days the routine can look a little different. Ilir is very warm and welcoming! But keep in mind that he is in Tïrana most of the time, so you are responsible for most of the tasks on your own (though you can always reach out to him, if you have any doubts). There is a river that you can swim in, about 25 minutes by foot, and a small market the guest house, where you can buy most necessities. I'll definitely miss this place and am already planning to come back some time :)

The guest house is a lovely place with a lot of nature and great energy! My time there was chilled, the tasks are simple and we have a lot of freedom to help with outdoor projects and bring new ideas to the guest house! Ilir is also really kind and helpful! We've got hiking trails around and also a river where I loved going swimming! If you like nature and disconnecting from the world, that's the place! The place is run mainly by volunteers, so sometimes the division of tasks and the organization between people can be tough! So being proactive and communicative is a must! Thanks a lot!

Very good experience, it was great because the place itself is great and the people you find volunteering will also be very nice. The only problem is a little bit of lack of organization, the place is fully run by volunteers, there's literally nobody that's not a volunteer staying full time the guest house, which makes some things unclear, as you don't know who to ask (manager lives in Tirana and is not always there). I would recommend it more for long stays, as that same freedom gives you the space to organize as you want. A special thanks to my hermanos Lucas and Yen.

I spent a month at the guest house and it was a beautiful experience. I learned a lot about vegan cooking, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was super warm. Everyone made me feel at home from day one. The place is surrounded by nature, perfect to disconnect and recharge. I'll miss the peaceful vibe, the mountains, and of course the lovely dogs. I leave with a full heart and lots of gratitude. Thank you for everything Iliar Helen Lucas Marin Felix lily 🫶🏻
