I just wanted to say that I like volunteering in Ute and Markus farm. I am not going describe details you can find them in others feedbacks but one thing I would like to mention which I think other host could copy.
It is no drug, no alcohol policy. It is a such rare thing amongst hosts I think that this policy create much more caring environment.

Artur is justo the traveler who would fit anywhere. He's chilled, diplomatic and HeS got an interesting speech.
I also apreciated his willing to work, his participation in home-tasks and his honesty.
As i said, i cant imagine a place where he couldnt fit!

Indeed romantic mill, nice place where at night you can see fireflies. Nikolaus is a good host and is interesting to talk with him. Also he picked me up from a train station and at the end he took me back. From this place is also good to travel to Porto and Lisbon.

We loved having Artur with us.
He fit in very well in our way of living.
He is a calm, careful and helping person. There was mutual respect for each other's space and there was no shortage of good mood moments.
Always available to give a hand.
Regada will always have its doors open for him.

I stayed on the farm two weeks and had a very nice experience.
Place is like a green oaza hidden between mountains and hills,
there are beautiful wooden-stone cottages between many plants and trees,
many animals also like the place.
I recommend it for every nature loving person.
