Description
We are an English couple with a small holding on a beautiful hillside in the Algarve. Looking for help around the place and a happy attitude! Must like dogs and getting your hands dirty! You must be able to take on difficult and sometimes strenuous tasks. We prefer if you are able to use tools, including power tools as most of the work here is land clearance, wood cutting, building work and landscaping. We try to make it fun and enjoyable but it can be tough too. We are within 30 minutes drive of both the stunning west coast and busy and cool south coast. Surfing beaches, fabulous walking, cycling and lots of art and crafts. The place is alive with festivals of all kinds, artists and musicians. A fabulous mix of people and nature.
