Hello dear
We are Elli (48 years) ,Valentin (12 years ) and Yuna (5 years). We live on a beautiful hilltop close to Aljezur and we always need some helping hands in exchange for a nice place to stay and fresh healthy food.
At the moment we are taking down a wooden house and would love to find 2 people who are happy to stay with us for at least two weeks. Not much experience needed but it helps if you are strong and motivated to really help during 4h. There is a lot to do:) so men and women power is needed!
It would be great to host a couple or two friends as you will stay in a nice caravan. People that bring their own van are also super welcome.
We have a stunning view all around and a sauna that can be used. The beach is about 12km away.
If time allows we are happy to show you around and take you to town, parties, the beach, markets around. But you can also walk or hitch hike from here easily.
And we have three cats, and 2dogs:)).
Looking forward to hear from you!

Meli stayed with us for two weeks as a Workaway, and honestly, we wish it had been longer! She’s a fantastic carpenter with the patience of a saint—even for those never-ending tasks that make others want to run away. Not only is she professional and skilled, but she is fun to be around and has a great sense of humor. She didn’t just… read more

They also cooked delicious meals at lunchtime, effortlessly doing magic in a rather "creatively" improvised kitchen.
