Volunteer with Wiki Hostel and Pantasema Social Farm near Rome, Italy

Updated September 2026: Wiki Hostel is still active in Zagarolo, near Rome, but the project has evolved since the original version of this listing was published. Today the official website presents WIKI Hostel mainly as a coliving and hospitality project connected with Pantasema Social Farm. Volunteering is still part of the wider project, although the exact accommodation and exchange conditions previously described on this page are not currently confirmed. Please contact the team directly to check current opportunities and conditions before arranging your trip.

Wiki Hostel and Pantasema Social Farm

Wiki Hostel is located in a green area in Zagarolo, in the Roman Hills southeast of Rome. Today the wider Wiki Family project combines hospitality and coliving with intercultural activities and the connected Pantasema Social Farm.

The social farm focuses on the relationship between people, animals and nature, alongside environmental education, social inclusion and sustainable living. The project works with a large interspecific family that includes goats, donkeys, cats and dogs.

Volunteering today

Volunteering continues to be part of Wiki Family and Pantasema Social Farm activities. According to the current project information, opportunities may include:

• helping care for goats, donkeys, cats and other animals in the Wiki Family;
• supporting the vegetable garden and activities connected with natural agriculture;
• helping collect, reuse or build equipment for the social farm;
• supporting events, activities and workshops connected with inclusion and environmental education;
• taking part in occasional action days and workcamps.

Pantasema also states that it periodically welcomes WWOOF volunteers. Availability and the type of help needed can therefore change during the year.

Community and cultural exchange

Intercultural exchange remains an important part of the project. Wiki Hostel describes a community environment where travellers, colivers, local people and project participants can meet through shared activities.

Depending on the season, the wider Wiki CoLive experience may include shared meals, skill-sharing activities, walking tours and hikes, social farm open days, local events and other community initiatives. Participation in these activities should not be assumed to be part of every volunteer arrangement, so check the current programme directly with the team.

Current exchange conditions

The practical conditions of volunteering should be confirmed directly before applying. The current official pages do not publish a single fixed volunteer package covering accommodation, meals, working hours or minimum stay.

Before making travel arrangements, ask the project about:

• which volunteer activities are currently available;
• expected hours and days of participation;
• minimum or maximum length of stay;
• accommodation and meal arrangements;
• any contribution or other costs connected with the stay.

The accommodation, meals, shuttle service and one-month minimum stay mentioned in earlier versions of this opportunity should therefore not be considered current unless Wiki Hostel confirms them directly.
