I really enjoyed staying in Alvor. The work was easy to do and you picked up the tasks fast. Alvor is a cute town and the beach is reachable by foot, but I would not recommend staying longer than two weeks, because there is not a ton of stuff you can do. Overall a great experience!

I had a wonderful time in Alvor with Cristina!The city is quite small but very cute and there are a lot of activities and amazing places to visit nearby.The working hours were always respected and the tasks were quite easy to learn and Cristina was always very available for any question or request.I stayed in the accomodation that is a little bit far from the city centre but Alvor was easy to reach. The flat had everything we needed, the kitchen was well equipped.Cristina was an amazing host, she was lovely, extremely welcoming and always positive! I had a great time with the other volunteers!

This was my first volunteer experience and I had a lovely time! Cristina and Fabio were lovely and made you feel at home, the work was pretty easy and the same each day. Alvor is a cute village even if there isnt that much to do, but there are lots of buses to nearby towns like Portimao which are great to visit as well. The accommodation is nice as it had a kitchen, laundry and a pool even if it was a little far, the only thing I would say is that it could be more modernised. The other volunteers made the experience wonderful!

Cristina is a lovely person and was very welcoming to us the whole time we were there. She was very clear on the work that needed to be done everyday and it was never too hard or too long. Alvor is a great place although can be a bit quiet if you were there for more than 2 weeks.
