Description
We are Maurits, Femke and Bram (2,5 years old),
We moved to the Algarve in February 2026 with our son Bram. We renovated an old Quinta close to Silves into a small scale guesthouse/b&b. We choose the Algarve and Silves because we have some family living close by and are in love with the peaceful surroundings but still have everything close by within 30 minute drive if you need something.
It is our dream project where we combine a peaceful surrounding in nature with a family friendly concept.
We are looking for Workawayers who are interested in helping improve our beautiful garden in January, February and March 2027.
When you stay with us you will be with our little family of 3. Our son Bram is a toddler and loves meeting new people (just like us!) . So a family environment is what you will be staying in.
During your stay with us, we’ll make sure you are well looked after. We usually cook, and you’ll have access to a well-stocked fridge with food and drinks throughout your stay. If we are going out you are able to cook for yourself. Sometimes we eat topgether, sometimes we eat separately. We aim to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you feel part of our little home and project rather than just coming here to work. In addition to accommodation and meals, compensation is provided in accordance with the applicable Workaway requirements and the agreed arrangement.

We offer the opportunity to learn more about hospitality and opening a guesthouse like ours. Femke has a minor in Hospitality Management and many years of experience in opening new hotels and working in hotels as a marketing, event, food&beverage employee and later on as a HR coordinator and Management Assistant.
We are also open to learn more from others regarding plants and landscaping. The guesthouse has the most beautiful lush garden and many opportunities to improve it even more. If you have knowledge about gardens we would love to learn from you.

What else ...
A car is a must in the Algarve. There is public transportation (bus) but it is not that good of a connection. From our guesthouse you can visit the most beautiful beaches within a 25 minute drive. You can go for hikes along the coast or more into the hills of Monchique. There is even a walking path that comes along our guesthouse that is very popular. There are many villages to visit for some nice restaurants and culture. Such as Silves, Monchique, Loule, Olhao, Ferragudo. Carvoeiro and many more.
