A spring volunteer invite shared in our Facebook community, for a short stay in the Tuscan countryside at Aura Toscana.
Aura Toscana is a small retreat space in Tuscany (Monsummano Terme, near Florence, Lucca and Pisa). Before the 2026 season begins, the hosts are looking for a small crew to help with a practical “reset” of the space during the last two weeks of April. They mention a 1 to 2 week stay, working side by side with a small team.
The tasks described are hands-on and creative. Think gardening, organising, reimagining corners of the property, and building simple outdoor features like a yoga deck and a “secret garden” area. If you enjoy working with wood or plants, or you simply like making places feel cared for, this could be a good fit.
The host post says they provide accommodation and really good food. Since hours and daily rhythm are not listed, confirm the weekly schedule, days off, and what meals are included before you book travel.
Before you commit: ask for total hours per week, days off, the exact dates they still need help, sleeping arrangements, and confirm there is no participation fee.
What you may help with
The host mentions a seasonal reset of the space, creating a secret garden corner, building a yoga deck in nature, plus gardening and organising. Experience in carpentry or gardening is a plus, but they say motivation and initiative matter more than a perfect skill set.
What is included
According to the host post, volunteers receive accommodation and meals. Ask what the accommodation looks like (private or shared), and if meals are provided every day or only on workdays.
How to apply
If this feels like your kind of project, message the hosts and share a short introduction, your availability (1 or 2 weeks), and what you enjoy creating. They invite volunteers to contact them through their official website or social media.
