Antonio is such an amazing host. He is very welcoming and made us feel at home instantly. Even though his place is a little isolated he made sure that we saw more than enough of the surrounding areas. He came up with ideas and the free time he had was spent diving into culture, history, the home,... The hours of work were respected, and there was a lot of freedom when it came down to the tasks. The lovely part was that he expressed his gratitude regularly when it came down to the work we did. The place offered for us to stay was amazing. The bed was so comfy and the view was priceless. <3

António is an incredible and knowledgeable host who immediately welcomed us into his beautiful home with warmth and conversation. We mainly helped with cleaning, gardening, cooking, and organising during our stay. The hours were flexible and respected.
Even though he has a lot on his plate, António spent much of his free time showing us around Northern Portugal, and even brought us across the border to Spain to visit a hot spring. Words cannot express how grateful we are for his generosity, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Wishing you all the best, António!

My stay at Antonio's home was truly wonderful. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed, and Antonio made sure I was comfortable in every way. He introduced me to new people, allowing me to experience Portuguese culture more deeply. We shared beautiful moments through dance, music, and meaningful conversations that I will always remember. His home is a peaceful and magical place. The work was mainly gardening, with great flexibility, which I really appreciated. I'm leaving with amazing memories and a new friend. Thank you so much, Antonio!

This volunteering offers a great variety of things to do! Either around the house with Antonio's small garden, lovely cats, and the cultural part of his association. He is very caring of the comfort, as the accommodation is very nice and private. He shares amazing food, spending quality time with his local friends and diverse activities for social engagement. Very flexible and open to communication for tasks. I had a great time exploring around the home!

Antonio is an excellent host! The Minho region is historic and beautiful; we did several very pleasant excursions, it was an intense cultural immersion. The apartment is very comfortable, quiet and has an incredible view of the mountains. The only negative point is that the place is a bit isolated and there is little public transport.
I especially appreciate the healthy and cozy companionship provided by Antonio, who introduced me to his home and his friends with a lot of kindness, respect and care. I'm already missing all of you and hearing the unique Portuguese accent of the region. It was incredible!

Our experience was really wonderful. From the first moment we felt very comfortable and welcomed as at home. We shared beautiful conversations, delicious food, walks, yoga practices, and very inspiring songs. We were able to collaborate on different tasks in a calm, conscious and pleasant way, feeling part of this beautiful project. Antonio is a loving, sensitive and generous person, with a very special energy. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to share these days in his home and to contribute our grain of sand to his beautiful house project.

We wholeheartedly recommend living the volunteering experience here! Thank you, Antonio, for everything. We hope to meet again along the road.

It was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have been better. I felt at home; Antonio is a wonderful person, incredibly generous with his time, and with everything! If he has time, he will take you to get to know the nearby places. He is very careful and always concerned about your nutrition and well-being. He loves music, dancing, so there will always be music playing at home, or better yet, him singing and playing the guitar. He is a person full of lessons to share; I learned a lot from him. And I learned about Portuguese music… he took me to a dance class and it was incredible as well.

The experience in the house, António's house, was very enriching for us. We were able to share pleasant moments around meals and also visit several places in the area. António was very proactive in ensuring we ate well and got to know the area; we are very grateful for that. In addition, we felt it was a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in Portuguese culture, as he is very knowledgeable and generous in sharing it. Our work was organized flexibly and in accordance with our abilities. Overall the conditions were optimal! A pleasure to collaborate on his projects!

Antonio was an excellent host and we really enjoyed our volunteering.
Despite the bad weather and rain, the conditions were really good, with tasty food and a study just for us.
Our work was painting and building a cat house, and the hours were flexible so that we could also make the most of our time getting to know the area.
Antonio is sociable and with very good energy; he gave us tours, shared his music and made our stay an excellent refuge and rest.
We hope to see you again and be able to visit your home in the summer!
