Description
We are a family of 3, theres me (mum) and Sedric (4) and Silvie (1,5) we live in a beautiful area in central portugal.
We have a vineyard, a garden, a pool, a sauna, hot-tub and plenty of hikes and rivers nearby. We have been incorporating sustainable practices into our garden for over 3 years.
We are looking for people to join us for 1-3 month periods, become part of our home, to work and learn new skills, but also have a comfortable and relaxing stay and leave a positive impact behind.
Our garden and vineyard are just for our enjoyment. We are not a commercial farm.Types of help and learning opportunities
