Albino and Rita are the kindest hosts I’ve ever had. I was so warmly welcomed and felt very lucky to join the family’s Easter celebrations. And what a lovely family. They have created a little green paradise on their land, growing all kinds of food and taking care of animals. They were generous and caring and I had a much needed escape and restful period staying there. I had freedom to organise my day, cycle to the beach, my work hours were respected. I learnt so much with Rita and albino, being so patient with my level of Portuguese. i felt at home. See you again one day! Gratidão amigos

It was excellent, I felt at home, Mr. Albino, Mrs. Rita and their daughter Carolina are blessed people, they welcomed me very, very well, I was able to learn a lot from them, the contact they have with nature is fantastic, the care and affection they show in preserving nature is contagious, I was only sad because it passed too quickly, but if another opportunity arises I would definitely return.

The volunteering at the sítio was a balm to the heart... Albino and Rita are very adorable and dear people, as are their daughters, Carolina and Virginia! We were warmly welcomed, received and treated during the time we were there! The working hours were respected, we had space for suggestions, agreements and conversations, denoting, also, flexibility. In addition, we could know the city and its corners and participate in a meeting in a quilombo community together with Carol, it was wonderful! With its fruit trees and more, the house is a nature refuge in the middle of the city!

These were very special days at the family's refuge! From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed by Carol, Albino, and Dona Rita. We also met Virginia, and it was a great joy to share moments with all of them. The volunteering involved taking care of the site's maintenance, organization, cleaning, and the garden... the schedules were respected, and they were incredibly flexible and made us feel completely at ease about it. The location is great. I carry with me the affection of this dear family, who is an example of simplicity and love :) <3

We were very well received at the farm. Rita and Albino were kind to us and explained all the tasks well, which included renovating a room in the house, repairs to wooden furniture, care of the kittens and chickens, and watering the plants. There, we got to know and try fruits and vegetables, in addition to enjoying good moments surrounded by nature. Carol, the couple's daughter, also guided us on the activities and shared knowledge about nutrition and sustainability. The schedules were respected and we had autonomy to organize our workday.
