Thank you Ricky and Natalie for contributing to our vine pruning and enhancing the Quinta with your presence. A real "team" that complimented each other beautifully, work was carried out methodically, accomodation was respected and cleaned to an incredible standard.
Lovely to meet you and share our way of life.
Good luck in whatever you do.

John and Nicole are excellent hosts...there care and thoughtfulness went beyond normal expectations which provided for a most memorable experience. The accommodation was great and the vegetarian meals were superb. There were times we felt like guests rather than workawayers.
All in all a highly recommended workaway experience.

Ricky and Nathalie were great.
I could give them a job and leave them to it.No supervision required ,so I could get on with other things.
Ricky's gardening experience and knowledge was really useful.
Both were happy and relaxed people, easy to please.

Oriana is a fascinating woman. She is very intelligent and does everything by herself, she even fixes her own equipment, and she repaired my pants that were torn (thank you!!!). And the most beautiful for me is the way that she loves and respects her horses for whom she devotes her life.

Rachel is a delightful person. She is thoughtful, caring and concerned about the welfare of her workawayers. The cabin where we stayed was very cozy and had a wonderful view of the countryside.
Our highlight was spending time with her during her delicious meals and the warm fire....with a little bit of wine. This was my best workaway experience… read more

We loved being at Nikolaus surrounded by its beautiful nature and the peaceful sound of water. Working there was a gift for us and we are very grateful with Nikolaus for letting us being in his paradise with his great intelligence, honesty, kindness and generosity. Nikolaus provides for a wonderful workaway experience.

Harmonic and productive. Ricky and Nathalie are wonderful persons, who helped me a lot here. Ricky is a professional gardener and tree trimmer who gave the garden here a fresh shape. Nathalie is hard working inside as outside. Both are respectful and warmhearted. I really enjoyed their stay here. Thank you very much for helping and all the best.

Ricky is overall a very nice man! He is helpful, easy to get along with, interested in hiking, horseback riding, motorcycling, whatever comes his way. He has a lot of life experience which gives him a solid presence. I came to appreciate him greatly in the short time he was here and hope that his travels and life may be all that it can be.
