I really enjoyed my stay at the Quinta, the tasks were easy and Nathan is very flexible with the work hours. There was a lot to do around the area and a lot of time to enjoy the nature and the property. I would recommend the Quinta to anyone looking to slow down and get to know central Portugal for a bit!

I'm writing this review less than 4 hours after I left the Quinta and can whole heartedly say it was one of the bets experiences of my life. Nathan was an amazing host and was so invested in ensuring every volunteer had the best experience possible. It was a great balance of work, learning, fun, environmental and social events that kept us excited and busy throughout the entire stay. The house is beautiful and very well kept with animals that truly make the place feel like home. I will look back on these past few weeks with find memories. Thank you Nathan.

I had such a great time at the Quinta and Nathan was a super nice host! He made sure to show us some beautiful spots in the area where we could swim, eat and meet loads of people in the surrounding area. I was worried that I wouldn't have much to do in the remote location, but surprisingly it was a very happening area! It was great getting to know the team here, too. The room for volunteers is absolutely beautiful, too. Would totally recommend to anybody who enjoys being outside or is interested in food. If you like music as well, there are lots of cool events at the local bar, too. Ty!

This was my first time using Worldpackers and I couldn't have asked for better. The tasks were very diverse going from cooking, to sewing, building things, and taking care of the animals which allowed me to learn tons while also keeping things interesting. It definitely felt good to slow down while also doing some hikes, swimming, going to the sauna, listening to live music, and even going out to the local vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Nathan was a very welcoming, fun, and flexible host who will definitely be missed. (Also can definitely recommend as a solo female traveler:)

I had a lovely time at the Quinta. Nathan is a kind, wonderful host and I had a lot of fun spending time with him. The hours are flexible and the tasks change day to day which keeps things interesting. The volunteer space is very cozy! I would also recommend this as a safe place for solo female travellers :) I was able to do weekend trips to Lisbon and Porto, as well as enjoying the town nearby. 10/10 experience, hope to come back again.
