    We are nature lovers living on an Organic, off grid Quinta close to the historic, ancient village of Monsanto in central Portugal. We are looking for nature and dog friendly couples (over 25) to look after our dogs Pearl and Hazel when we are away and lend a hand to odd jobs and maintenance.

    Travellers will benefit and enjoy the wonderful ancient architecture and history of the region, including Monsanto which was voted the most Portuguese town in Portugal (It was also the town where ‘Heart of the Dragon’ and some of ‘Game of Thrones’ were filmed due to it’s ancient landscape). There are several organic/eco markets and a diverse population in the local neighbourhoods.
