Description
We run a B&B in rural Portugal. Our visitors from Portugal and around the world love us for being a charming place to relax in the countryside.
My name is Miguel and I manage the hotel together with my wife Susana, and we work with Alex who coordinates our online side.
We would like to host two people - a couple - who can help us clean and "re-purpose" an old barns for use as a storage area. This will be heavy-duty cleaning, painting and some repair. Carpentry and tool skills would be an additional plus. There is also work clearing brush and heavy vegetation.
You will be with us at a time of year when there is no tourism, so the work is exclusively maintenance around the quinta.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a Portuguese family with English skills, living in the countryside where we host visitors. We love to befriend the people who stay with us for a longer term, and especially those who enjoy working and helping us bring our old farm back to life. We have a special museum as a part of our farm, and are hoping to re-introduce old country skills such as breadmaking in the buildings we are recuperating, as a part of our artisanal offerings.
Our corner of Portugal is a lovely place where we grow almonds, olives and oranges. We also make artisanal confectionary for sale. This is life in a small Portuguese village next to several significant historical places. A car is necessary to move around and explore.Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage

We had a spacious house to live in with everything we needed. Our work was mostly clearing the land, and later, helping with the olive harvest.
