My time at the guest housewas truly beautiful. I loved being able to step away from city life for a while and reconnect with nature, silence, and the kind of peace I really needed. From the first day, everything was clear regarding the tasks, and I had a lot of freedom and flexibility with schedules and days off. This allowed me not only to enjoy the place, but also to explore beautiful places in Portugal. But without a doubt, one of the best parts was the people I met. I'm very grateful to Fernanda, Fernando, Diana y Rui for being such amazing host and for making me feel so welcome.

The host family is very very kind and warm, and the accommodation was great with easy main tasks. I also appreciated the chance to join local events. The website says “You are entitled to a free breakfast every day of your stay,” but it was only on days when guests were present. This exception wasn’t clearly explained before arrival when I spoke with Diana. Regarding tasks, most communication was with her mother, Fernanda, who does her best as a host. If Diana could support her by checking that tasks are understood and carried out properly, it would enhance the experience for both sides.

Fernanda, Diana, and Fernando are amazing hosts: welcoming, helpful, and attentive. The space is comfortable and beautiful, and breakfast is excellent. They helped my boyfriend with dental issues during our stay. Participating in the village's Christmas market was a fun local experience. Due to a very rainy month, we couldn't help much in the field, so I contributed with social media content and videos. Clearer schedules and defined tasks would have allowed us to contribute more.

We stayed for a month and ended up doing mostly online tasks like website and social media work due to the constant rain. The accommodation was comfortable, and we felt welcomed. I had a dental issue during the stay, and they helped with everything, including transportation. That support made a big difference. We also took part in the village Christmas market, which was a highlight. The community was warm and made us feel at home. The only point for improvement is the organization of the tasks, which often felt unclear. Overall, it was a positive experience with genuinely kind people.

Truly an amazing experience! The place is gorgeous with a huge backyard to relax and recharge in. the pool with the view is stunning. The family is so warm and one of the most open/kind hosts i have ever met! ( i did over 15 volunteer places mind you! ) the tasks are straight forward and they give you the flexibility to add your skills to the place. Creating events was a big highlight and fun to collaborate in. The area is peaceful and safe and get a place to yourself or shared depending on the month/season. This place will always hold a special place in my heart, truly grateful to stay here.

An unforgettable experience! the guest houseis a magical and beautiful place - a free space to bring your ideas to life! The hosts are very welcoming, positive and friendly and make you feel like part of a family. Tasks include gardening, decorating and construction work, so it's better if you have previous experience to help make the space more beautiful. For artists this can be an opportunity to make your own art! The host Fernanda is an open-minded, bright and shining personality with a strong sense of community, who gives you a chance to immerse yourself in the local culture. Enjoy!

We went to the guest house in London with a set time, but the experience was so special that we decided to stay longer. During that extra period, we had the honor of carrying out the first event at the guest house, something we will never forget. It was intense, but always rewarding. Alongside Rafa, I lived unique moments and made friends for life: Fernanda, Diana, Fernando, Nelly and many other travelers. For those seeking their first volunteering experience, this is the right place. We can't wait to come back!

Being at the guest house was more than volunteering; it was a life-changing experience. The space exudes calm and brought me profound lessons, as well as true friendships that I will carry with me forever. I helped with breakfast, cleaning, laundry, and artistic details, but what stood out the most were the people: Fernanda and Fernando, always attentive and passionate about Brazil, and Diana, who not only made our arrival possible but also became a friend on outings and in special conversations. For our first volunteering experience, it was simply the perfect one. 🌸✨

A nossa primeira experiência de voluntariado na guest housefoi muito especial. Tivemos a oportunidade de conhecer um espaço diferente, em contato direto com a natureza e com uma dinâmica de vida comunitária que nos fez aprender bastante. As tarefas foram simples, mas deram aquele sentido de colaboração, de fazer parte de algo maior e também uma chance de conhecer pessoas novas e trocar ideias. Essa imersão trouxe leveza, novas perspectivas e uma sensação de crescimento pessoal. Ja estamos cheios de saudades! Diana, Fernanda e Fernando são pessoas incríveis.Gratidão por essa experiencia.
