    Description

    Hello altogether 🌞


    I'm living here in the Alto Alentejo since three years – live my dream of a free life in the countryside. I’m living very close to my children and grandchildren too, who are a big part of my life. Further members of my 'team' are a young dog, aged three, ,two mouse- hunters and four chickens which are very busy ...
    I want to create a self sustainable land , planting lots of trees to bring life and habitats again to the land for all beings.
    Sometimes I need some nice people who take care of the plot, feed the animals and look after my plants.

    For your stay there would be available a small guest house, a caravan with a nice outside place ,a outdoor kitchen, shower, dry toilet, power connection, mobile internet connection ... for further details please contact me!

    In general I am working on many projects and ideas, like extending the garden, planting trees, some woodworking constructions, harvesting the olives and a lot more. I am currently looking forward to guests who are skilled in their craft.
    I’m happy about everyone who feels connected to my project, who is enthusiastic about just enjoying the colours, nature, scents or the birds.

    I’m not searching for professional hands, for me it’s more important that you’re interested and enthusiastic about living off the grid and with nature. To share cooking, sharing creative ideas , sharing conversations and working together with joy.
