Program Details

Accommodation
The volunteers’ quarters are in the same house where we also live. The space can host either 1 volunteer or a couple (shared bed), so it’s very important for us that whoever comes is respectful and mindful of this detail.

When the weather is nice, there is also space outside for camping, but please note that the kitchen and amenities are all located inside our home.

Activities & Shift

We are flexible and would be happy to choose a project that inspires us all.
Some daily things we do here are: feed the chickens, taking care of the garden beds (weeding, pruning, planting, planing, etc.), making compost, cook nourishing meals, taking walks with Chilu, harvesting and processing things from the garden beds.
Let us know what skills you bring and we will find a project to work on.

You can park your van in the property or pitch a tent if the weather allows.
Or you can have your own room in our house, with a shared bathroom.
We also have other options if none of the above works for you. (Dependable on season).We normally have 3 meals a day. We are mostly vegetarian, but we do sometimes enjoy meat and fish.

On your free time you can explore the mountain, the beach, the town.
There is a lot of nature to see around here.
You can also explore archaelogical sites nearby.
If you have a car you will be able to explore more.
The transportation here is not so good, but you can always use our bikes and you're always welcome to come with us if we go to an adventure.

You will have the opportunity to see how life is in the countryside of Sardinia. Learn about starting a permaculture project. Learn some Italian and eat typical food.
