The Experience

Hello, how are you? The property belongs to my mother's family, and they have a house on the property. Until recently this house was available for rent, and I managed the administration. Now I am in an early transitional phase, from renting to operating a restaurant, and, as the property is touristy and I have space to accommodate another person, I am opening volunteer opportunities in this new field.

My volunteering at the sítio the farm alcantilado was an unparalleled experience! Ismael welcomed me very well and was always very clear regarding the tasks and exchange schedules. The demand at the farm restaurant is calm, but it has its peak days, yet we always help each other. The region is beautiful and the room is very cozy. Ismael was a dear the farm from the beginning to the end, always very communicative and flexible. I hope to return more times.

My return to this volunteering in such a short time already says it all! A place, really privileged, in terms of the site structure, and the site's contact with nature. Very grateful, Ismael, for this opportunity to rediscover myself again, and to heal through the power of silence and service in your restaurant. The peak moments, with many customers, although exhausting, are also rewarding! See you next time!

Divine place, five minutes from a delicious dip in one of Alcantilado's farms. A top host! Committed, dedicated and disciplined.
He fulfilled all the agreements: rides, meals and schedules. One of the best rooms I could enjoy during a volunteer experience! Always willing to seek to offer the food that interests us. The service is pleasant, and dynamic. I wanted to extend my time of service, of my own free will, because I felt motivated to do so! The birds, and the silence of the place enchanted me!! I will return soon!!

O lugar é incrível, aso sítio, as paisagens, cada canto da trilha tem uma beleza unica, você se sente em um filme o sítiotão lindo que é o sitio, o Ismael é respeitoso e até que a gente se deu bem por sermos completamente diferentes, o quarto é hiper aconchegante e a comidao sítio almoço é uma delícia, ele é muito atencioso em relação a isso, a irmã dele é um doce e a mãe ta sempre mandando coisas pra comer também, os pontos negativos é o horario que ele precisa é pra 12h, você só consegue aproveitar o sítiomanhã mas isso ta escrito então já fui sabendo, e o lugar da um pouco o sítiotrabalho pra chegar

Foi minha 1ª experiência na WP.No início foi difícil me acostumar com a calmariao sítio local e a adaptação da saídao sítio emprego com o inícioo sítio voluntariado foi mto difícil. Acabei sentindo falta da família e amigas. Talvez por isso, acabei ficando mais sensível que o normal e senti dificuldade em alinhar o meu conhecimento como sítio Ismael. Acho que também fiquei um pouco ociosa no começo, coisa que não curto pois sou mais pró ativa na cozinha. Por conta disso, conversei com o Ismael para tentar melhorar algumas questões que não curti e depois melhorou mto o trabalho e voou o tempo.O sítio é muito♥️
