    Hello, I'm Filipe, we are a family of four, two daughters (14 and 7 years old) and my wife Sofia.
    We have a country house in north of Portugal (Castelões-Gumarães) and looking for people to help us with the tasks, but mostly to change culture, life style and ideas with new people.
    It's a peaceful little village where you can get in touch with nature, take a walk by the river or in the mountains, paddle with kayak and meet new friends.
    We provide a complete house for two people, minimum of 2 weeks.
    All meals are on the house and if you need to go shopping we provide transportation.
    We also have a swimming pool that you can use.
    No smoking inside the house.
