  Description

  Hi!
  
  We are Alexia and Laurent, a Belgian family living in the Algarve with our two sons, two dogs, and a few horses. During the high season, we run the guest house, and over the years we’ve built a place that we truly love sharing with others.
  
  Our 250-year-old estate spans 27,000 m² inside the UNESCO-protected Ria Formosa Natural Park, surrounded by fragrant gardens, fruit trees, vegetable plots, aromatic herbs and wildlife. We have seven unique holiday houses, each with its own entrance, private patio or roof terrace, fully equipped kitchenette, air-conditioning, free WiFi, smart TV, Bluetooth sound system, books, games – and even complimentary tea and coffee.
  The property also features two fenced swimming pools, a natural swimming lake with a mini-beach, a half-court for basketball/football, play structures, and an indoor play area, making it ideal for family stays.
  
  During the winter months, from the end of November until March, we are looking for friendly, motivated, and open-minded people who would enjoy spending a few weeks or longer with us, experiencing life in Portugal and contributing to our little corner of paradise.
  
  If spending some time in sunny Portugal, surrounded by nature, sounds like something you would enjoy, we would love to hear from you.
  
  Warm greetings from sunny Algarve,
  Alexia & Laurent

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a cosy Belgian family with two boys, and we know Portugal very well. We do a lot of sports and love animals and nature. Healthy food and water activities are very high on our list.
  We believe that cultural exchange goes both ways, and we would love to learn something from you just as much as you can learn from us. Whether you are creative, sporty, artistic, musical, or simply passionate about something, we would be happy to discover your talents and interests. Perhaps you enjoy photography, painting, playing music, yoga, surfing, cooking, gardening, sports, or have a completely different skill you'd love to share.

  Help

  There are always little projects and things to take care of around our property, and we would love some extra hands!
  
  Most of the activities are light, practical tasks, mainly outdoors.
  
  We are looking for people who enjoy working outdoors, are not afraid to get their hands dirty and like seeing the results of their work. You don't need to be a professional; a positive attitude, initiative, responsibility and willingness to help are much more important to us!
