Acting job

Volunteers are required to partake in the restoration of several medieval houses owned by the Cultural Association ACLE. Volunteers are welcome year round however it is very cold from Dec to Feb and there are limited places in July and August.
It is expected that volunteers interested in this project will want to make the most of the idyllic situation, but about 6 hours a day should be spent working on the houses. You will be expected to work Monday to Friday unless agreed otherwise. Most of the work involves painting, landscaping, furniture restoration, cleaning, clearing rubble and general maintenance. If there are guests renting some of the houses, your duties may include or be replaced with housekeeping responsibilities. You are welcome to work at your own pace and don’t necessarily need to have muscles to take on this job (but you will have them by the end!). Work tools are provided, but you need to bring working clothes.
We provide you with accommodation which includes a bed in shared accommodation with other volunteers (mixed sexes). There’s electricity, hot and cold running water, fully functioning bathrooms and kitchens. You should bring a sleeping bag and, if working in Spring and Autumn, plenty of warm clothes as it can get very cold at night. The village has two food stores, a post office and a couple of restaurants and bars.

As this is a volunteer project your flights and living expenses will not be paid for, and only your accommodation is provided. You must have your own insurance policy. Living costs are minimal – just food and personal items.
It should be noted that due to the size and character of Baiardo the conduct of volunteers is of the utmost importance if the inhabitants are to continue to welcome strangers into the village. You must 18 years of age by the date you are applying to volunteer or have at least one year of living abroad/ or a gap year.
