    Description

    Welcome
    We are Tim and Alexandra and live only 10 minutes by car away from some of Portugal's most stunning beaches on the West Coast in the Algarve in the National Park Costa da Vincentina near Aljezur.
    A renovated traditional Portuguese farmhouse on 1.8 ha.The walls are made of taipa (mud), and all white washed, the roof is handpicked cane inside and recycled canudos on the outside. In spring and summer we operate as a guesthouse.
    We found our paradise in the Algarve and are making our dream come true.

    We then need volunteers to help around in the house with general tasks and gardening.
    We also need help with some easy clearing of the land. It is a work in progress and always something to do like painting or white washing. It is an opportunity for you to join in to an interesting, different and enjoyable experience.
    We would require you to be flexible, open, honest, enthusiastic and prepared to pitch in. We want happy people to help alongside us.
    Please get personal insurance for your stay.

    Accommodation

    You have your own comfortable room and your own bathroom, maybe to share with another workawayer. There is access to wifi and delicious meals in exchange for 5hrs help per day.
    If you wish you could even use the guest kitchen. If you want to pitch a tent there is space. There is also space for a camper if you travel by camper van. We will provide good fresh food in the house.
    Nearby you'll find the most stunning beaches. It's a short drive to all amenities and you can enjoy surfing, walking, cycling, golf, tennis, donkey walks and horse riding and much more, there are great towns to visit like Lagos or Silves.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are Tim and Alexandra, an Australian/ German couple who after living and working 20 years in Sydney / Australia and traveling decided to settle on the coast of Portugal. Our background is in the theatre and arts, as well as music industry and cooking.
    We enjoy good company and a good meal.

    We try to find people to do light painting, weeding, planting and general spring cleaning.
    We do not need any help in hospitality! and no-one in summer as it is too hot to work ;)
    We wish all the Workawayers good luck and good fun.

    Alexandra, Tim and Pablo 🐾
