    Description

    READ THE PROFILE FULLY BEFORE MESSAGING.

    The property is located in a private valley, with flowing water, stone terraces, 8m yoga platform, swimming pool and courtyards with seating and lighting.

    I am looking for friendly people to help get involved in all aspects of the day to day here. this will include; repairing stone walls/terraces, improvements to the food production, building stairs, seats and activity areas and improving access to all parts of the land.

    The reason i want workawayers coming is to make the workload easier but also be less stressful.
    We have a good routine going currently with workawayers and it is important you can fit in and socialise well with everyone here.
    We want honest, hardworking, easygoing people who will fit in.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    There is plenty of accommodation here, mainly twin rooms.
    If you are a solo traveler you may be required to share a room with another person if the accommodation is full.

    We require you to have a general level of hygiene and consideration for other workers here.

    You will get 3 meals a day.
    We have a 0 waste policy so we cook for the amount of people eating at that meal time to achieve this.
    Tap water is drinkable and comes from the spring so we do not provide any other drinks.

    If you dont want to eat the 3 meals provided then you have to buy your own food.

    If you want your own food bring it with you as there is no local shop.
    We do not provide snacks so if you want these bring them with you.

    Drinking alcohol is allowed. (within reason) But you have to buy your own and bring it with you.

    If you require expensive supplements, specialist products or wish to eat abnormal quantities of anything then we ask that you buy these for yourself rather than deplete the supply as we buy the correct amount for the meals planned.

    Mostly vegetarian food.
    We do not want fussy people.

    The WI-Fi here is slow and will not support online workers.

    If you think this is the right opportunity for you and are willing to work hard . You will be welcome and will enjoy your stay.
    You will have to get the bus to Figueiro Dos Vinhos .
