    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Located in the south of Portugal with easy access to several cities. Lisbon is 1,5 h from the house.
    Nature and wild beaches is what you can find.
    This is a place to stop, connect with nature and disconnect from the busy city life. We are 7km away from the typical village of Melides, 2 km from Deixa o Resto, small location with supermarket. The nearest city is Vila nova de Santo André. Bikes available but still , we recommend to bring a car since the nearest towns are located 8 to 10 km from the house.
    We prefer to host a couple ( retired or remote workers ) , to be more time on the house.
    The house has a fireplace, air conditioner and all the commodities.
    The land had a lot of outdoors space for the dogs, and it is sealed so they can play safe outside.

  • Help

    Help

    We have 2 kind dogs They are both adopted,
    Luna comes from the shelter, she is very shy and still adapting, needs some time to trust humans again. Açorda only wants to play and she is more independent. Both are very good together and very kind and polite.
    We need someone that can take care of the dogs and can stay, at least for 1 month, but can go up to 2 months (December and January).
    They need to go for a walk in the morning and eat twice a day.
