Description
Built under the concept of country houses, we are nestled on the right bank of the Douro River, in Santa Cruz do Douro, Baião (75 Km Porto I 1hour). They comprise a group of four houses, ideal for friends or family, presenting a natural haven and a sublime harmony between the mountains and the river.

It was my first workaway experience, and I couldn't imagine it better! I spent there almost 2 months and I enjoyed every minute. During my first day, the owner of the place - Jorge picked me up from the airport and show Porto around. When I arrived to the houses I was surprised how the place can look even better in reality, I got my… read more

Thank you so much, see you soon!

I couldn’t be happier with my first Workaway experience! Due to the pandemic, I wasn’t able to go abroad, so I decided it would be a good idea to explore my country instead … And I must say it was, indeed, a brilliant idea! This place is fantastic, the views are breathtaking, and I had the opportunity to, finally, explore the north of… read more

I directly had a great feeling with him and it just kept getting better over the weeks. I… read more
