Description
Hello !
We are Pedro and Maria, a simple and quiet Portuguese couple, and we live in a nice country place that needs some gardening work, but not hard work.
We would love to have someone who knows how to work with wood, like a carpenter. We have some ideas :-)
We have two daughters, both live in Lisbon and can sometimes come over on weekends.
We prefer double accounts and generally don't host for more than a week ;-)

Help
The work you'll be doing is pretty simple:
Some help in the garden and in the house, we have some vegetables and fruit trees in the garden that need to be taken care too.
Maybe some painting.
We also have a small house next to ours that we rent out, so if there are guests arriving or leaving you may help in the cleaning of that house too...
And so on.

Accommodation
You'll stay in a nice room in the house, only for yourself.
The wc is shared with our daughters and and friends if we have some visitors.
All the meals will be provided, we aren't vegetarian but if you are it will be fine too.
We provide towels and you can wash your clothes in the whashing machine.
What else ...
The house is in Vila Nova de Milfontes, located in a natural park called SW Alentejano, the best preserved coastal area of southern Europe .
It is in a quite and peaceful place from 3km to the coast so it will be easy to go there and even in the winter the beach and the coast are very very beautiful.

Last winter (sorry about the very late feedback!) my friend and I had a very nice stay at Maria's & Pedro's lovely quinta. Even though we had only a few days to spend there. We really enjoyed the job in their garden, which was weeding the surroundings of the citrus trees and painting the tree trunks with chalk. Maria and Pedro are very nice and… read more

We had a very quick visit from Anni and her friend. But it was ment to be like that ;-) And we do not regret, on the contrary. We would like to know them better, that's for sure! They are friendly and assume the responsabilities.
We hope to see them again.

We spent just a week with this lovely family and this was the final destination of our 4 months workaway trip. We couldn't imagine a better end, than a beautiful home by the sea. They lent their bicycles and the beach was just a 10 minute ride from the house. The work was not so hard, but we have chosen the hottest week of the year. They asked 4… read more

Rosanna and Mikye were a great experience. They are an easy couple, trustworthy, smart and helpful, friendly, with very good energy, and good humor too.
It is always good (and easy) to welcome people like them. People you can count to, talk to and be with. ;-) Like they say: "they came as Workawayers and leaved as true friends"
