Experience in Quinta was amazing. Hosts welcomed us warmly and we felt like at home. Even though it was raining all the time, we felt nice and cozy in our room🩷. Every day we started with cup of coffee and then continued in our work. Helping around the house, animals or even cutting wood felt more like fun then actual work :))). Quinta is a place, we definitely want to come back to again. 🌸☀️

This was my first ever Worldpackers experience and I have to be honest, it was hard for me to ho back home🧡. I had the best time with the people at Quinta. I loved the nature, the animals, the calmness of everyone at the place☺️. Despite the cold weather and the giant strom😅 I felt incredibly warm the whole time. Repairing and cleaning the Quinta didn't feel like working, it felt more like a bonding activity. I think it was hard for me to leave home because I found another one in Acipreste <3

It was my first time volunteering and first time in Portugal. Since day one Lars and all his family took care of me and make sure that i was comfortable with everything i'm doing. They treated me like a part of family. I could always asked them for help on a farm or after work hours to get me from city or to go to shop. I'm super grateful for this people and whole Quinta. It will be hard to beat this place. 100% recommend to all people who's reading this.

The Quinta is such a wonderful place to be, it's a beautiful property with INCREDIBLE people. I had an overwhelmingly positive experience, Lars, Francine, and Loic were the most welcoming family. I met such awesome volunteers and formed friendships I won't forget! I would absolutely recommend, even if you're not familiar with doing this type of work (I wasn't super well versed in it either) it's a great experience to push yourself and contribute to a project that is good for the environment and community.
