  Description

  This is our family home. When coming to stay with us you will feel part of the family and enjoy the genuine warmth of Portuguese hospitality.
  In the mornings we need help cleaning our home and around the property.
  
  If you're good at gardening or building we also have many projects that we need help with. Approximately 2/3 hours of help a day with one or two days off a week.
  
  If you are one person, a couple or two friends, we offer one daily meal for each and a kitchen area where you may store and make your own food.
  
  We have employees for our business and you will not be asked to help with any spaces used by paying guests.
  
  We will have a shaded area available with a spacious tent set up for the Summer and one of our Bungalows for the colder months.
  
  You have full access to the swimming pool.
  
  We are surrounded by fields, grazing horses and having a view of the Monchique mountain it’s hard to believe Meia Praia beach is just a two minute drive away. This expansive beach stretches from Lagos to Portimão, you’ll have no trouble finding a nice spot to enjoy the sun or the ocean.
  
  We are on the edge of Lagos which has something for everybody; beaches, shops, restaurants, lively bars and a fun night out.
  
  If you´re looking for a more relaxed place than Lagos to pick up some groceries then close to us is the village called Odeáxere, here you can find typical Portuguese cafes and a little fish market.
  
  We have a couple of bikes we can lend you and someone is always going back and forth to town if a lift is needed.
