    Description

    Hi guys! My name is Andrea and I bought a farm in Portugal for rebuilding with a big plot of land. Usually I do everything myself when it comes to projects…but I would really love to share this experience with other people and build a small community. My love for gardening and working with natural materials has been a centerpoint throughout my life. If you would love to share the magic of living remotely, connecting with nature and preferably a spiritual person, love animals..then send me a message 🙏🏼💓

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Farmhouse with a total of 8 houses. One house is already finished and the next one is going to be a tiny house.

    The accommodation for guests is a 1 or 2 person bedroom in the main house. It’s made with natural materials and very comfortable. Both rooms are also nice for spending time alone when needed.

    In warmer weather there will be a large tent provided as well if more people want to come.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    A day at the farm is equal part doing practical things and having time to relax or explore. It shouldn’t feel like a job at all. If you have a car that would be great because it is very remote and nearest town is 10km away.
