Help to develop a wellness eco retreat centre, Algarve, Portugal
Pays: Portugal
Last Activity: 05.21.2012
Description
We are 2 life long friends of 36 years old, who started this project to create a self sustainable oasis along side the river: "Ribeira de Odeceixe". We are developing a wellness eco retreat centre that we'll be used for many things but it's all about nature and greenness and self sustainability.
We're situated 5 km's from the beach and of course we love surfing just as much as we love creating together in nature. We just started our 4th season of starting from nothing and we have now apart from the basic facilities many more things done but lots to be done and so we are welcoming a new crew for this year from all over the world to carry on what we started. This season will be lots of gardening, landscaping, maintenance & detailing both in house as out house. So especially skill full people or persons with art specialities, 3D arts in specific are super welcome but also those who can cook or just wish to learn.

My first workaway experience, and it exceeded all expectations. Much gratitude and many well wishes!
Danielle is sparkling girl with a lot to offer. She takes her job seriously but is fun and cute at the same time. We'd have her back any day!
Love this place! Done a fair bit of volunteering at various projects and sometimes it's a bit of gamble. Here however because of the varied work available, the large amount of people, the space available I would challenge anyone not to get on well here. Great place to meet people, close to beach, fab and plentiful food and above all GREAT hosts!! more

At this farm I had one of the best moments during my travels! I was there for ten days in April/May 2011.
Ole, Robin and all the other people working there are great, open and sincere people and it was fun to spend the time with everybody in the middle of this beautiful nature place. Working conditions were pretty good, we usually started at more

Hi J, you're a great worker and also great groover, I loved that moment we we're in sink during the Flamenco night. You are so sweet and we hope you come back one day
I stayed with Robin and Ole for 6 weeks in April/May and it is definitely the best workaway place i've been to! There is a perfect balance between working hard and having lots of fun, the atmosphere is very positive and relaxed, and everything is very well organized! Good hours, always plenty of food, great company, fun parties and amazing beach more
Jolanta fitted in so nicely she felt like part of the villagers although she had to leave us from time to time. My only question is WHEN ARE YOU BACK?
I had such a wonderful time at this place with Robin and Ole,they and other workawayers were great craic and the place was so relaxing that i did not want to leave!!! Whilst i was there for 3-4 weeks I was involved with working in the Strawbale building, preparation for a wind turbine,(being a student of architecture these were my favourite more
Hi Niamph It was great having you around for the last part of the season and you crack me up. What's the crack? No really Niamph is very interested and hard working and has quite some experience.
I had such a great time at this place! Robin and Ole are amazing guys! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere with so much love. The work was different every day, some easy tasks and some hard physical tasks. I learned a lot about living more eco-friendly, gardening, building, cooking + + The food was sooo good, after my 6 weeks there all my clothes were more
Sweet Eilin, you blessed us with your sparkling freshness and although it rained cats and dogs you carried on regardless. Much respect for you. See you again some day X
Robin and Ole’s exceeded all our expectations. Their philosophy and way of life opened our eyes to all sorts off future possibilities. Whilst we were there we were involved with projects that included; hemp and clay rendering, pirating adventures, physical labouring, glass bottle walls, trenching, dj and disco nights, organic gardening, more
This couple is just of the charts and when one night they said they wanted to stay forever I thought please do. It was such a good ride we had with them. Please please come back!
I had an awesome time with Ole and Robin!!
