  Beschreibung

  We are a retired Anglo/Irish couple living in a restored old quinta on five hectares of farm land. We have different projects ongoing, outside kitchen, tree planting, gardening, tree house, decking, pizza dome oven, transplanting seedlings, weeding, cutting the grass ( we have a ride on mower) shed building and path making etc. We have a dog and chickens that wander around the place. Life is very laid back and peaceful. Both of us are 95% vegan but we do eat our own eggs. We love art and craft stuff and alternative projects. We try to be eco friendly where we can without being fastidious. I used to run a b and b in Ireland and love meeting new and interesting people. Politically we are centre/left and have no religion. We would like to to meet you.
  
  Our accommodation is for couples. I am not quite sure what the box I ticked ' more than two' means. A double bed in a large bell tent raised up on a deck by a natural pool.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You will love sitting outdoors in the evenings. You are invited to tell your stories and we will tell ours. You will have your own space to chill and watch nature. We make lots of stuff ourselves from owl boxes to organic soap, wholegrain beer and sour doughbread. We encourage all types of nature on our land insects, lizards, hedgehogs, whatever. A great place for photography. Rare eagles frequently glide over our valley and at night you can see the milky way and the planets. We have fire salamanders, lizards, newts, toads and hundreds of frogs. As I mentioned we love nature.

  Arbeit

  Common sense diy projects, wall building, outside oven, shed and gardening and tree planting, and even the dreaded weeding! We are slowly replacing the invasive eucalyptus trees with oaks and chestnut trees. Plus trying to keep the undergrowth down to a safe level.

  Both of us are trying to learn some Portuguese. Annie is better than me. She also has some French and many years ago I had some German but can remember little of it now.

  Unterkunft

  A large bell tent, proper double bed, small fridge, own bathroom in the house plus dry toilet near the tent. We will provide all your food while you are with us. You can eat with us or have a takeaway down at your tent. Breakfast is provided but you can do your own thing, lunch the same. Dinner you can eat with us or by yourself. Evenings Annie and I like family time to ourselves so you're on your own. Once a week we meet friends in Monchique ( usually Friday night ) and you can tag along with us if you fancy coming.

  We are 5 km from Monchique that has buses to Portimão. There are shops, a swimming pool and bars in Monchique. Easy to walk to or I can drop you off there. The Algarve Camino goes through Monchique. The coast is 25 km away and is easy to access by bus. Often we go out to Monchique on Friday evening to meet our international friends and you would be welcome to join us. ( will pay for your beer or wine ).
