Description
We are a British couple living in a villa in the countryside just outside Albufeira in the Algarve.
We have one cat, two dogs and 3 horses.
We have lived here for the last five years. We have now purchased a new house which needs full renovation inside and outside, most importantly our horses will be living there with us.
We are looking for someone to live at the new house and help look after the horses with our help and guidance, most importantly the right person would have independent accommodation at the new house as security for the horses during the night. There would be the opportunity to ride and work with the horses for a person with the right experience.
In exchange for a fantastic place to stay and enjoy the Portuguese way of life. There would also be the opportunity to help with the house and garden renovations.
We are looking for either a long or short term workaway who would like to spend their time in the Algarve and benefit from the fantastic lifestyle.Types of help and learning opportunities
