Description
Hello, 👋🏽
We are Marcia and Luana (mother and daughter), living in a beautiful home in Northern Portugal. Everyday we spot pilgrims (on their way to Santiago de Compostela), hiking up the hills that takes us to our home. We live in a small village away from the city life, surrounded by stunning views including the Minho river that divides Portugal and Spain.
We are looking for someone to help out in the house and in our veggie garden.
With our work schedule, studies, and social activities, we've been finding it hard to maintain our beautiful home. That's why we would like to welcome someone that is willing to take care of our place while sharing some quality time with us. We are very friendly, we have a lot of traveling stories to share, and we enjoy cooking together.
If you'd like to spend some quiet time in the comfort of a fully equiped house (with swimming pool), in a stunning natural environment, while taking care of the land and sharing good times with two amazing women, then this is the right call for you.
Since we are a bit remote, it can be challenging getting around by feet, having a car is ideal here. We are a 20minutes drive from the ocean. We also have a bike that can be used to get to town, but the way back home is on a steep hill.

Accommodation
You will have your own bedroom, with a shared bathroom.
Living room, and kitchen are of communal use. The house is equiped with a barbecue area and a swimming pool, as well as a big garden where a natural water stream passes through. There's a deck that can be used for yoga, meditation, or just as a chilling area.
Meals will be provided on your working days, and on days off you are welcome to use the kitchen to prepare your own food. We usually have dinners together and use that moment to talk about our day, as well as plan for the day ahead.
What else ...
Given the fact that we are in a small village, public transportation is not very accessible. We can arrange your working hours in a way that you can get a ride to and from town with one of us. We are also happy to show you around on our time off from work.
