I spent one month in the hotel, and it was honestly one of the best months of my life. From the very first moment, I felt at home, even though I was hundreds of kilometres away from my own. Ana and Jorge are amazing people, as well as the whole team - Mizi, Afonso, Mafalda, Karina, Mark. Everyone is incredibly welcoming, kind and always ready to help. The work is well organized, the tasks are clear and easy. The accommodation is great, and depending on the number of volunteers, you might have a room to yourself. Food is great too. I couldn't have chosen a better place:)

I spent an amazing summer in this little paradise in Portugal! Ana and Jorge, the whole team and the other volunteers were wonderful. From day one, I felt welcomed, trusted and useful. It's a great place to learn about hospitality, meet amazing people and discover Portugal. The flexible schedule, bikes and rides make it easy to enjoy the surroundings even without a car. Ana and Jorge truly care about your experience and make you feel at home. I'm leaving with amazing memories and would definitely recommend this place! Already looking forward to come back ✨🧚‍♀️

This was my first volunteer experience and I loved it so much! Ana and Jorge made me feel like a family from the first day I arrived. The work was mostly doing dishes, cleaning the spaces, helping at the bar and garden. You could change shifts in case you needed to. The food was mostly great - big choice for breakfast, lunch and dinner was made every day/two. You have your own bed and closet. They gave me my own towels and sheets + shampoo and douche. The pool was great too! You could also use bikes to go to supermarket or beach (around 20-30min ride). Don't hesitate and apply :)

My time at the hotel was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and one I'll cherish for years to come. Ana and Jorge were incredible hosts who went above and beyond to support us and make everyone feel welcome. It's hard to put into words how much this placement affected me, but there truly is nowhere else like it. A special mention to Afonso, Mafalda, Mizzy and Karina, who were all so warm and friendly and did an amazing job showing me the ropes and making me feel at home.

I had such a wonderful stay volunteering at the hotel through Worldpackers. Ana and Jorge are truly amazing people. So warm, loving, and welcoming. From the very first moment, I felt completely at home there. the hotel is a beautiful place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy a peaceful and calming environment. I'm very grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and relaxing volunteering experience. Hope to be back soon!
