Our glampsite is a tourist destination, a glampsite (glamorous camping) of accomadation of Tipis, Yurts and Safari tents, chill out lounge/cafe, Yoga temple, Zen pond and to be built by May 2013 a plunge pool for our paying guests to enjoy. We grow our own veg, but we are not a farm.


We provide you with the basics to prepare your own breakfast and evening meal . You will help make a communal vegeterian lunch for all the volunteers and sometimes for the guests. Help assist in pizza night once a week season for the guests in the summer from June - Sept.

There is a pool table, table football, plenty of card and board games, books to read and swap, chill out lounge plays music, free wifi so bring your lap top!, hammocks, great hiking and walks near by , a large lake nearby, and two very friendly dogs and cats. ... and a swimming pool to enjoy!

There is a local bus service at the end of the track to Portimao on the coast with great beaches, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops ets and to the lovely green mountains of the old town of Monchique. A taxi will cost between €12-18. We have local restaurants nearby within 10 to 15 minute walk.

We ask that you have your own health insurance; we have a copy of your passport and give us a contact number of your next of kin in case of any emergencies. We only usually like to accept helpers who are willing to stay a minimum of three weeks, possibly a little less, but prefer longer such as a month. We do not accept volunteers for one week because it takes two to three days to train. This is non negotiable.

So if you are interested in spending some time with us, don't mind working hard when needed and want to have fun in the sun, in a cool, chilled out enviroment, can smile often and laugh lots then contact us.

Hope to see you soon!
