Program Details

Are you looking for more than just travel? Here, we offer a genuine cultural exchange experience where every day becomes an opportunity to learn, share, and connect from the heart.

This volunteer program isn’t just about helping or receiving—it’s about living together as a community. We seek open, curious people willing to be part of a space where local culture is experienced with all the senses: through food, yes, but also through conversations, creative activities, and connection with nature and traditions.

We’ll share moments in the kitchen, learning authentic Italian recipes as a way to discover the history of this place. But we’ll also do hands-on activities, take walks around the area, and enjoy small excursions that connect you with everyday local life.

This is a space for those who value simple living, community, and mutual learning. Here, everyone brings what they are and takes what they need: inspiration, new ideas, friendships, or simply a meaningful pause.

We ask for a contribution of 25 euros per week to help cover the special ingredients we use in our shared meals, prepared with care and tradition.

If you enjoy learning, living together, creating with your hands and heart, and experiencing meaningful moments beyond tourism, this is your place. We look forward to welcoming you with open arms!

Activities & Shift

During your stay, activities will be flexible and adapted to the weather, season, and group energy. You’ll have the chance to participate in authentic Italian cooking workshops, creative hands-on activities, walks and explorations around the area, as well as moments of community bonding and reflection. Each week is unique, designed to learn, share, and connect in an open and welcoming environment.

Rules

Our home is a cozy and peaceful place where we all help each other keep things tidy and comfortable. If you enjoy the meals we prepare, it would be wonderful if you could kindly help by putting your dishes in the dishwasher and keeping your room neat and welcoming.

I’d love to show you around the nearby area, and while I can’t do this every day, we’ll happily plan outings together so we can enjoy them fully.

The most important thing is to keep open, gentle, and honest communication—this helps us all feel comfortable and enjoy a warm, friendly atmosphere.
