Description
We are a family of 4 renovating a house and a ruin 1 hour away from Porto in the city of Marco de Canaveses. The property includes an old vineyard with olive tress and various fruit trees. There is enough space to accommodate a few campervans. We are living in our mobilhome and utilise some rooms of the old house.

Help
Currently our focus will be to finish our bathroom and renovate the rest of the house. Anyone enthusiastic about architecture, renovating houses, or just improving your building skills are welcome to assist us.
This space is ideal for gardening enthusiasts and van lifers. We prefer in the beginning to host people who own their own campervan, during the warmer periods.
We also love cooking and utilising the food from our garden. The tasks are flexible and project based, you are free to choose what you feel most comfortable with.

Accommodation
In the beginning we can accommodate Workawayers with campervans. The accommodation is modest as we are still renovating our house. Our goal is eventually to have a space to accommodate a sleeping area and bathroom.
What else ...
There are many hiking trails, beautiful rivers and the lovely villages to visit. The city of Porto is 1 1/2 to 2 hours by train. We love meeting new people and enjoy exchanging ideas. However, if you prefer, our space allows lots of privacy as well. We also prefer non-smokers.
