We are a Portuguese couple with experience on permaculture and self-sufficient-living that in 2015 got 15ha of abundant land in a beautiful valley and an amazing community at the highest mountains inside the biggest natural park of our country. Now we are a family of 5 living in abundance willing to share our experience with you

I felt like I got exactly what I wanted at that moment. I spent a whole month sleeping underneath the stairs, bathing in the beautifully cold stream, listening to the sounds of nature only. The family was lovely, they were always ready to help with anything. I really enjoyed the freshly harvested fruits and veggies from the farm. Didn't want to leave.

This experience was unlike any other I've ever had. Being with the family was a beautiful experience. I learned many new recipes, got tips for my garden I hope to start and got to spend time with the wonderful children. Living a bit off the grid was somewhat challenging for a city girl like myself but I'm proud of myself for sticking with it because I gained so much. Thank you for having me and trusting me with your family!!

This was our first Worldpackers experience and it was beyond amazing! Goncalo, Rita and their children are such lovely and welcoming people, which made it a pleasure to spend time with them. We learned a lot about permaculture and therefore became more in touch with the life in the countryside. The work was easy to fulfill and matched the 3 hours per day. Therefore we had a lot of time to explore the surroundings and calm down in nature. There was even a lake nearby to swim in on hot days. We also met some other volunteers, which made our time there even more fun! We will definitely miss it!!

It's a nice little farm, the family are lovely and the task aren't too hard. I would recommend looking at the temperatures for when you stay as on a night/morning it was way too cold and hard to sleep in the tent for me. The shop walk is far so be mindful of how much you buy if walking back. There's not much around to do, there's a few villages but taxis are expensive. Although you can get a taxi Tuesday and Thursday for £2.90 each way if you call a day in advance. Service can also be bad so make sure you've got a good e-sim :)

First at all, thank you once more time Gonzalez for this opportunity and experience. I really enjoyed my days at the farm. They also have 2 lovely dogs. Tasks are easy and get it done easily. If you love nature, you are in the right place. You can go hiking in the area around. But grocery may be a bit challenging. There is a small store half an hour from the farm. But you can do grocery at the same time as Gonzalez or his wife. I strongly recommend it. Oh they have 2 lovely twins. They are so adorable :)
