Description
Hello, We are a retired couple with an old farm in need of restoration. We have done up the house and have a 2 bedroom apartment for family and friends . It has a fully remodeled kitchen and bathroom with all new appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine. 2 bedrooms with comfortable beds, a full dining area and separate lounge.
We live 2km to the closest town that has wonderful restaurants and cultural events. 20 minutes to Faro and Olhao where you can go to the beaches in the Ria Formosa. There is a bus stop at the end of our short road. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love meeting new people and like to share our life adventures and would love to hear yours. We speak English and a little Portuguese and would love to practice with you. I am a ceramic artist and can teach you about making pottery here in the studio.

Help
We have lots of small tasks that need to be done for example, tree trimming to prepare for olive harvest, painting the patched area on the garage, organizing the tool area, pulling weeds in and around the garden . sanding and painting the front door, repairing the old chicken house so we can get some chickens : ) We are also working on turning the front yard into a mediterranean garden and are clearing weeds, adding stone and other foundations to a beautiful waterwise relaxing space.

Accommodation
2 bedroom house with fully remodeled kitchen and bathroom, new appliances including washing machine and dryer. Large dining area and separate lounge area. Beautiful views of the valley. There is a cafe and lunch restaurant very close and 2km to town with grocery stores, restaurants, cultural events.
We prefer 2 stay at a time whether a couple or friends. It makes the tasks easier and they you have someone to go exploring with. A 2 week stay is preferred.
Guests prepare their own meals during the work exchange. A simple pantry with basic staples (such as rice, pasta, oil, and spices) is provided, and guests can add any additional ingredients or specific foods they prefer. We also contribute €25 per person per week toward food costs.
We ask that our home be treated with care and respect, as we’ve put significant time and effort into renovating it and take pride in maintaining it well.
Sorry NO SMOKING or VAPING ALLOWED ON OUR PROPERTY. -
What else ...
We are very flexible in when the help is done, 3 days of help all day and the rest of the week off or 4-5 hours a day for a total of 20 hours per week per person. Some of the jobs are labor intensive and some are easy and can be completed quickly.
