Description
Hi my wife Laura and I (René) with our 3 kids (13,8 and 2) are a family of 5 living in central Portugal on a Quinta in Avô where we are busy to get self sufficient with fruits and vegetables, have a river beach in the village and beautiful walking routes nearby. A little shop for daily needs and a paderia to drink a coffee or a beer and grab some bread and a talk.
We love to cooperate with volunteers to help us with the vegetable garden, land cleaning and maybe also helping us with improving some things like painting exteriors.
What we can provide is to give our volunteers a good stay in 1 of the 2 apartments which we’ve totally renovated this year with all modern equipment and even with airconditioning to have a relaxed stay on our Quinta after a day of work with us to have a private space to relax also.
