Hello!
We live in a 300 year old farmhouse with 52 acres on the edge of the beautiful Monchique mountains where the Algarve borders the Alentejo. We have seen bonelli's eagles, herons, storks, fox cub, deer and once a family of otters. Wild boar live around here yet they are shy so you only see the footprints by the lakes.
After spending eleven years in Cyprus we came here in 2009. We are easy going and flexible. We like to meet people from all walks of life and have also travelled internationally. Although it's peaceful and rural we love the contrast so a couple of times a week we drive to bigger towns.
Barragem de Santa Clara is nearby. It is one of the biggest lakes in Portugal, great for hiking, swimming and water sports.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

We are very practical people and although we hope workawayers will have some skills when they come here, we hope that we can add to them.
We love talking and sharing experiences from around the world! It has been a joy meeting so many lovely people, some of whom we consider lifelong friends now.Arbeit
Help taking care of our 2 gorgeous dogs: they love cuddles and walks. Please note that Nubla (Great Dane) and Hobo (Serra da Estrela mix) are both big dogs. Although incredibly friendly, some people are intimidated by Nubla's size so please only message if your comfortable being around gentle giants! We also have 3 semi wild cats called Tutti-Frutti, Oreo and Millie.
We need help with Cleaning (the kitchen floors etc), painting, gardening (there is alot of pruning, strimming and planting), general maintenance.. There's always things to be done! We try and get jobs done in the mornings and spend the afternoons reading and relaxing in the garden.Sprachen

He loves animals and is amazing with them. All our dogs loved him pretty much instantly, he gave them lots of time and they loved the long walks he took them on. He even was happy to take on looking after 4 very sick abandoned puppies that needed fostering whilst we were away (a… read more

We miss her and hope that she will come back and see us again!
Tina is such a wonderful and lovely lady who made me feel very welcome right from the moment she picked me up at the train station.
I stayed with her, her dogs, cats and chickens for three weeks and it's been great. She got so many ideas and plans for her… read more
We had to take care of the garden, the pool and the animals for 10 days and we had a great time. Tina gave us a lot of freedom to do our job and we were able to enjoy the surroundings as we pleased.
Tina's house is a very peaceful place. There are no noises at all.
We truly recommend this place. If you want to… read more
We both loved walking the dogs, we miss them.
We had to leave after a month due to personal problems, but would love to go back
We really liked Tina, she is thoughtful, caring and sometimes a scatter brain!! But, lovely.
We honestly couldn't recommend Julie enough and she's welcome back at anytime.
They made a cat house (literally it is a palace) constructed garden paths, painted and cemented, and many other jobs. Our dogs loved them. We honestly couldn't recommend them enough and they're welcome back anytime.

She came as a Workaway and left as a friend!
Would thoroughly recommend her to any future host, and she is most welcome back anytime:)
Tina was the kindest person I have met during my 2 months long journey. I was supposed to stay in her beautiful rural house only for 2 weeks, but I stayed for a month. I still don't know what would I do without her, because after one host stood me up, I had no place to go.
Tina has always lots of hilarious and sometimes… read more
