Small quinta, cats and olive trees in nature near Castelo Branco, Portugal

  Beschreibung

  Hello!! We (my cats, my plants, my trees, and I) live on a small quinta at the edge of a tiny village. The land has several olive trees, fig trees, grapevines, quince, and young trees of persimmon, pear, and hazelnut. There’s a well with plenty of water and a solar panel that provides enough energy to use the computer, charge phones, and all USB devices. =)
  
  My cats are lovely. The female, Cajú, is very attached to me (as I am to her), and baby Sapo spends most of his time outside — he’s a bit shy and may need some time to get used to new people.
  
  At this moment, what we really need, first of all, is company. We’re quite isolated here. Secondly, I’d really appreciate some help taking care of the land — watering the plants, and harvesting olives when the time comes. Occasionally, I might need to travel for a couple of nights, but I’m not sure yet.
  
  Accommodation:
  You’ll stay in a beautiful caravan that fits up to two people and includes a small kitchen.
  
  Bathroom:
  There’s a simple outdoor shower area — we heat the water beforehand. I’m planning to build another space soon so that we can both have more privacy. The toilet is a dry one.
  
  “Fancy” shower 😊:
  If you prefer a proper hot shower, there’s a perfect free one about 12km minutes from here, just past the river beach. Nearby you’ll also find a gas station and a small market that sells a bit of everything.
  
  Food:
  I usually go to the city twice a week (or three times if needed). There’s a small café in the village (good for emergencies, though a bit expensive). A bread lady comes once a week, and there’s also a frozen-food delivery lady who passes by weekly.
  
  River beach:
  A beautiful one, just 8 minutes away by car.
  
  City (Castelo Branco):
  About 30 minutes away.
  
  We are in total nature here. Ideal to rest and get in touch with the trees, plants and work in personal growth projects.
  
  If you need more information, feel free to ask! 🌸

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I'm from Brazil, so I speak Portuguese and can help you with the local language or with simple translations if needed. I can also show you an easy and friendly way to move around and connect with the community. If you’d like, we can also practise some Spanish together.
  
  For local events and gatherings, we can check a Facebook group that shares most of what’s happening in Castelo Branco and the surrounding villages — from music and art to local fairs and ecological projects.
  
  I also enjoy sharing a few things that bring balance and creativity to life: foot reflexology, Bach flower remedies, feline well-being, basic sewing and crochet, and simple photography tips. Nothing formal — just relaxed, heart-based exchanges where we can learn from each other.

  Arbeit

  At this moment, we’re mainly looking to have people around. It would be lovely to share some activities together, but you’ll also have complete freedom to simply enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.
  
  In October or November, I’ll need some help with the olive harvest. There aren’t many trees — around 15 — just enough to keep us busy for maybe two days.

  Unterkunft

  There is a cozy caravan for your private use. It fits up to two people and currently has a comfortable double bed. Inside, you’ll find a small kitchen with two burners and a mini fridge — everything you need for simple, peaceful living. It’s a really lovely and charming space, surrounded by nature. 🌸

  Was noch ...

  I’ve been a bit isolated lately, and one of the main reasons for opening this project is to meet people, spend time together, maybe share some meals, and exchange life experiences.
  
  Important: Respect for nature and my cats is essential. They are part of our daily life and well-being.

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  If you are travelling with a dog, it needs to be friendly with cats and used to living around them, as my cats are part of our daily life. Unfortunately, if you are travelling with a cat, it would be more complicated and probably not possible, as my cats are very territorial and sensitive to new cats.
