I will remember this experience for a long time. Everyone was very kind and friendly and welcomed me with open arms. Ita and Todd are wonderful people who looked after us as if we were their own throughout our stay. The food was amazing every time. I really enjoyed my time at the castle and hope to have the chance to return. Thank you so much for this experience.

Warning for all worldpackers: you won't want to leave!! Can't imagine a volunteering experience better than this - work was fun, varied and manageable, the house and bedrooms are luxury and the company is incredible. Ita and Todd are responsible hosts and also incredibly caring, warm and generous. I loved the delicious food and conversation during meals, exploring around Portugal on weekend trips with the accessible buses, petting the cute dogs and getting to know other amazing volunteers. I even got to be a part of filming a horror film which I will never forget! Will miss it immensely!

Todd and Ita are two of the most kind and genuine people I have ever met. They put so much effort into creating and protecting an environment that is welcoming to all and it is immediately evident when you show up. They are easy to talk to and have so many interesting stories to tell, and they have a genuine interest in connecting with the volunteers. Working hours were always respected and tasks were never too difficult. The food is always delicious and evenings can be spent hanging around the beautiful castle grounds, down in the town, or at the river. It truly was an amazing experience.

The only negative thing about my stay at the farm was that I stayed for ONLY three weeks. The tasks are never too strenuous and they vary so I never got bored. Ita and Todd are wonderful people, they treat all the volunteers like friends or family. Our group dinners were always my favourite part of the day. the farm itself is a magical place! It's a beautiful and eccentric building surrounded by big gardens and orchards. Staying there was a unique experience that I will cherish forever. Thank you Ita and Todd <3
