Description
We are a family of two, my husband and I. We love the nature and we live in a wooden house in the middle of olive trees in center of Portugal, where I grew up. My husband is Italian and we are now trying to establish in Portugal. We have our own business, architecture and so we need some help to organize/ repair/ rebuild/ build some things in our property, about 15000 m2.
We have a little dog and we travel a lot between France, Italy and Portugal.
We are a christian family and we love Jesus.
We like to be a help for others as much as possible wherever we go, whenever possible.

Accommodation
We will have a mezzanine on top of the wooden garage, a few meters from the main house. This mezzanine (attic) will be divided into two and each side will have two beds (men/women), but most probably it will never be 4 people at the same time, so you will have more privacy. There is a common bathroom under the mezzanine.
There will be a common area with table and chairs in the mezzanine, also a coffee maker, electric kettle, and eventually other utilities. We are still building and will give more details when ready.
What else ...
We are the first house of a small village, close to the woods, there is only one small supermarket/caffe in this village. About 30 minutes walk there is the closest town with everything needed, shops, restaurants, caffès, inner swimming pool, hairdressing, all services possible, hotels, a park surrounding the river, it’s easy to hear other languages while in restaurant or supermarket as there is a big community of foreigners, specially from UK. There is a recently open supermarket/ café/ restaurant half way to town.
We might have a bike or two available if needed. There is probably a bus or two a day to town, but easy to walk it. The closest city is about 20 kms and there is a daily bus, in this city there is the train that goes to different parts of Portugal, including Lisbon and Porto. The big city is 40 kms and there is also a daily bus.
