The Experience

I'm looking for volunteers to help me hammer in a nail and paint the walls :) my house needs several small to medium repairs that I can't reach: scraping walls and painting, sanding and painting, or varnishing outdoor furniture and possibly windows and doors... maybe even installing a slide on some stairs and screwing in a few shelves. There are many and varied tasks on the list!

Since the first day I felt very welcomed, the schedule were clear, the communication was objective and the guesthouse facilities were available. Vanessa, the host, very lovely and accessible, were present everytime, always worried about my well been. Sara, the guesthouse's worker, is very competent and was really patient to teach me in what I could collaborate. It was an amazing experience where I could improve my English knowledge, have contact with international travelers and also learn about the work in the homeGuesthouse. I strongly recommendthe home.

Estar aqui foi simplesmente sensacional surreal e absolutamente maravilho, a casacasaVanessa e o Dário são pessoas maravilhosas, atenciosos, educados e extremamente flexíveis. Difícil encontrar pessoas tão boas quanto eles :). Tive um quarto só pra min, extremamente limpo e confortável, um café da manhã exatamente como eu gosto. a casacasailha é linda, tem muitos lugares pra visitar, ótimos restaurantes (apesar que aqui os preços são um pouco mais elevadosa casa casacasacasaque no continente, mas nada tão significativo). Meu coração dói de lembrar que estou indo embora, mas vou levar experiencias e momentos fantásticos!!!
