This was my second time here and the best volunteering I've ever done. A place immersed in nature, a very respectful and generous family, and wonderful food. The only bad part is leaving with a few extra kilos. Haha I recommend it for anyone who wants to connect with themselves and with nature. It's not a place to socialize; it's like a retreat. Bring everything you need, as there are no shops at the site. Thank you to the whole family for welcoming me for a second time. A very special thank you to Rafa, with all her sweetness and kindness. I hope to have the opportunity for a third experience. ❤️

An AMAZING EXPERIENCE, GUYS!! The place is beautiful and peaceful.. luckily I got a super chill volunteering buddy with whom we did hiking together and it made it easier.. The volunteering tasks are very calm; basically it's waiter work. They provide three meals a day that are VERY TASTY AND VARIED!! even coffee and cakes are really good.. Highly recommended if you want to explore another part of the island that's more relaxed and save money.. I'm already missing it, but I think I'll go back.. Thank you so much, Rafaa and family ..

The Pousada de Preto is a beautiful place where I had one of my best experiences as a volunteer. Rafa and the whole family are great people. They make you feel at home, they are attentive and understanding. The inn is so lovely and the meals are so delicious that you enjoy working with them. At the Pousada de Preto, love prevails over business. I carry wonderful memories and I would come back without a doubt. Thank you so much!!!🫶🫶🫶

Rafa and the whole family, as well as the staff at the inn, are sensational people, where I was treated with a lot of warmth and attention since the first contact. The meals are a show in themselves, hehe. The work continues as agreed and focuses on days when there are guests at the inn. Besides that, it's worth exploring the surrounding beaches by hiking, going to the viewpoint and taking some trips to farther places by boats. I'll miss everyone, big hug!!

My experience at the pousada was wonderful! The hosts of Japanese descent like my family were very attentive and welcoming and made me feel at home. The place is beautiful, peaceful and surrounded by nature. I also had the opportunity to practice English quite a bit with foreign tourists, both with those staying at the pousada and those I met on the tours. It was a very special experience that I will cherish. I recommend!
