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

My experience at the guest house was short but great! The host was very welcoming and made me feel very at ease. The volunteers' room is very cozy. The work is very easy, nothing heavy. And with the time off, it's possible to rest quite a bit and enjoy the place; there are waterfalls and trails very good to do. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get to know the Vale do Matutu.

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.

My time at the guest house was amazing, and for me who wanted an immersion in nature while contributing my design and media skills, it was a goal achieved. There are several waterfalls nearby, an incredible quiet, and Sandra and her animals are kind and welcoming. I will miss everyone and if there is an opportunity, I will return! Gratitude for everything.

I really enjoyed the days I spent at the guest house; Sandra is a kind woman, the place is beautiful with waterfalls near the site, and there are two streams nearby. Nature is exuberant, where you can go hiking in total contact with nature. The work is calm and easy to perform. I highly recommend the guest house.

Sandra is amazing, high-spirited, fun and communicative. She made me feel at home from the very beginning. The activities are easy to carry out, and the schedules are always within what was agreed. The exchange exceeded my expectations, and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place of peace and tranquility. The space for volunteers is very comfortable, there is a waterfall nearby, and for those who love animals there are Nuvem and Maga, two adorable cats, in addition to Nina, a very affectionate and intelligent dog.

We're already missing you here, Genivaldo! I can only thank you for everything, and I hope you accept my invitation to come back. The bamboo merry-go-round is waiting for you! 😁

My stay at the guest house was very good! Sandra is a very easygoing and understanding person, the working hours were flexible and everything went well! We did many fun activities and I’m only grateful! Thiago was also very helpful and charismatic! The place is beautiful and it's hard to explain the feeling of gratitude when waking up every day and seeing the waterfall behind the house or peeking at the starry sky before going to sleep! Nina, Nuvem and Maga (the site's pets) bring even more life to the house! I highly recommend!
