Sandra is an exceptional host—thoughtful, accommodating, and always ensuring things are well. The setting is stunning, with nearby waterfalls, scenic hill walks, and a starry night sky. Tasks were diverse, rewarding, and balanced with downtime to soak in the views. The well-organized site offers great internet for remote work. I'm thrilled with this experience and so grateful to Sandra for this amazing opportunity! Highly recommend! Thank you very much Sandra! S2

I would like to thank Sandra for the warm welcome and the opportunity to join this role, since I was the first person to fill it.
The work was easy and consisted of preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner for Sandra, and these meals ended up being my three meals as well.
Due to the unusual rains at this time of year, I was able to explore little of the area, but I did get to know the main nearby points of interest.
There is a grocery store about 2 km from the Sítio, in case you need to do some personal shopping.

It was a great first volunteering experience. I loved getting to know the guest house, Vale do Matutu, and the entire surrounding region. I was able to connect with nature, help with daily tasks, and also with painting and repairs. Sandra welcomed me very warmly; we had great conversations, walks, and she was always suggesting outings. The house is very comfortable, I ate very well, and I was able to meet another volunteer, Valéria, who also welcomed me very well from the start.
