Description
🌿 2026 Projects Come Live, Work and Enjoy Life with Us!
In 2026 we’re starting a new chapter full of exciting projects on our farm.
We’ll be creating beautiful outdoor spaces for tents, cleaning and preparing the land, and helping with daily activities such as caring for, feeding, and of course cuddling our horses.
We’re also looking for someone who enjoys spending time with children and can do outdoor activities with our daughter.
Are you someone who would like to live, work, and enjoy life with us for a longer period?
We’re looking for a handy, caring, and social person who enjoys working independently but also loves creating and collaborating together.
💚 About the Project
This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who loves being outdoors, working with animals, and contributing to sustainable living projects. If you enjoy working with your hands and have some experience with (wood) construction or carpentry, we’d love your help!
We welcome all ideas, experiences, and input whether you’re skilled in building, gardening, or simply eager to learn and lend a hand.
Amidst the rhythm of farm life, we sometimes need extra help with building and the daily care of the animals. If you have a warm heart and enjoy spending time with children, we would love to have a chat with you.
🏡 What We Offer
- Accommodation and meals in exchange for your help
- A peaceful environment surrounded by nature and animals
- The chance to contribute to a meaningful and sustainable project
- Learning opportunities in gardening, building, and farm life
- A lovely swimming pool to cool off in during summer
The nearest supermarket is about 15 minutes away, and Porto is around a 40 minute drive.
🌞 Let’s Create Together
If you’re an animal lover, nature enthusiast, and creative outdoor spirit, this might be the perfect project for you. Let’s create something beautiful together!
Feel free to send us a message we’d love to schedule a short video call before meeting in person.
With warm regards,
Guido & Elisah

What else ...
We have various activities available, such as hiking along the nearby trail next to our house, spending time with animals, and enjoying summer swims at local river beaches. Additionally, we plan city trips to Porto, Braga, and surrounding areas. If you enjoy cooking, we also like to make pizzas and are open to cooking together. We appreciate it if you take occasional moments for yourself to have your own time and space.
We are a Dutch couple with a little girl Ella. Elisah is a therapist who works with her horses and enjoys practicing yoga and engaging in shamanic rituals such as drumming in her free time. Guido, on the other hand, has a passion for gardening, influenced by his mother who is a garden architect. He also enjoys working with wood and constructing beautiful things. With such diverse interests, we both have a lot to offer. Starting a tourism business provides a broad range of opportunities, catering to various preferences and skills. If you need any assistance or have specific questions related to your business or interests, feel free to ask!
