Sem dúvida, a nossa experiência juntamente com o Pedro, foi incrível e ficará para sempre no nosso coração. Desde o primeiro dia, fomos recebidas com uma enorme simpatia e hospitalidade, tanto pelo Pedro como pela sua família, com quem também tivemos a oportunidade de partilhar momentos muito especiais.
As tarefas no café e no restaurante … read more tornam-se fáceis e agradáveis quando se trabalha com uma equipa sempre disposta a ensinar, apoiar e fazer-nos sentir parte do lugar desde o primeiro momento. Levamos connosco muitas aprendizagens, mas, acima de tudo, o carinho de pessoas maravilhosas.
O ambiente é simplesmente mágico. Está localizado em pleno Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês, rodeado por paisagens deslumbrantes e natureza por todo o lado. A poucos minutos encontram-se cascatas e pequenas praias fluviais perfeitas para relaxar e desfrutar da região.
Além disso, tivemos o nosso quarto privado e saboreámos deliciosas refeições portuguesas todos os dias. Estiveram sempre atentos para que nada nos faltasse, fazendo-nos sentir verdadeiramente em casa.
A amabilidade das pessoas do Gerês surpreendeu-nos imenso e fez-nos sentir parte da comunidade. Foi a nossa primeira experiência no Workaway e não poderíamos ter imaginado melhor começo.
Estamos profundamente gratas por esta oportunidade. Se procuram uma experiência autêntica, aprender, contribuir com o vosso melhor e ser recebidos de braços abertos, é sem dúvida um lugar muito especial.

Without a doubt, our experience with Pedro was incredible and will always hold a special place in our hearts. From the very first day, Pedro and his family welcomed us with warmth and kindness, and we had the opportunity to share many special moments with them.
The tasks at the café and restaurant become easy and enjoyable when you are surrounded by a team that is always willing to teach, support, and make you feel part of the place from the very beginning. We are leaving with many new skills, but above all, with the affection of wonderful people.
The setting is simply magical. It is located in the heart of Peneda-Gerês National Park, surrounded by breathtaking nature. Just a few minutes away, there are beautiful waterfalls and small river beaches where you can relax and enjoy the surroundings.
We also had our own private room and enjoyed delicious Portuguese meals every day. They were always attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and making us feel completely at home.
The kindness of the people in Gerês truly amazed us and made us feel part of the community. This was our first Workaway experience, and we couldn't have imagined a better beginning.
We are deeply grateful for this opportunity. If you are looking for an authentic experience, are willing to learn, contribute your best, and be welcomed with open arms, it is truly a very special place.
