Program Details

Dear friends,

We are an agritourism business that has been operating for over 35 years. In the autumn–winter of 2025/2026 we are planning some extraordinary cleaning and reorganization works, and we would be very happy to have your help as volunteers.

Main activities

Cleaning and tidying up: clearing out and cleaning a large warehouse/storage area and some apartments.

Reorganization: moving furniture and household items, packing objects to be donated or stored, discarding what is no longer useful.

Preparing for a partial move: dismantling furniture and gathering items to be placed in storage.

Ecological work: all discarded items will be sorted and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

Final painting: once the spaces are cleared, we will repaint some rooms of the masseria.

In short, it will be very similar to a partial relocation, requiring commitment, teamwork, and a practical spirit.

Volunteer schedule

Commitment: 5 hours per day, 4 days per week, with 3 days off (we can adapt this arrangement to your needs).

Total Duration to Reorganization: about 2/3 months (for you minimun 2 weeks).

You will always be guided and supported by myself, my cousin, or my daughter; for heavier tasks, there will also be male workers to help.

Accommodation and life at the masseria

You will stay in hotel rooms: warm, comfortable, and equipped with excellent Wi-Fi (also useful for remote work or free time). Only occasionally we may ask you to move to smaller rooms, but always clean and comfortable.

Meals:

Breakfast: we will provide everything you need, and you will prepare it yourself.

Lunch: we will provide the ingredients for you to cook, or – if the restaurant is open – we will offer you lunch.

Dinner: prepared by us, with local dishes.

Activities & Shift

Laundry: a washing machine will be available, and you can use it independently whenever needed.

Transport: the masseria is located in the countryside, about 4 km from the nearest town. We can either drive you there or make a small car available once or twice a week.

In your free time, you will have the chance to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the countryside. You can relax in our gardens, walk through the citrus grove, or admire the charm of our unique millenary olive trees. Breathing pure air, you may go for a run or explore the surroundings by bike. On cooler days, you can enjoy the warmth of the fireplace while savoring the delicacies that the Apulian nature generously offers.

Rules

Support
👉 In short: we are looking for people willing to share with us a period of practical work – cleaning, organizing, and preparing spaces – in a countryside setting where you will also find hospitality, warmth, and convivial moments.

After this detailed description, please let me know if you are interested in joining us, or if you have any questions or doubts.
