Description
We are a friendly and busy anglo-portuguese family with 3 grown up children who occasionally come home plus horses and various cats and dogs. We have lived in the beautiful village of Figueira in a villa with a pool and an independent 1 bedroom apartment for the past 25 years and absolutely love it. Figueira is located in the Natural Park of the western Algarve in easy reach of beaches and resorts. We have had many experiences with volunteers and much prefer long term.
