Descripción
We're a lakeside Lodge, rated 5 stars by the biggest online guest-rating site, hosting helpers to help in the garden, general maintenance to buildings, front of house, watersports etc etc. The Lodge is totally eco-friendly, running 90% off solar power both for electricity production and hot water. We re-cycle all our water as well as rubbish etc.
Kitchen help, bar, front-of-house, good with animals, (dogs, cat, parrot, children, guests etc), preferably 20's to 30's, out-going without being OTT, preferably with a working brain and able to contribute without being "overseen". Anyone out there?
Please read our profile and reviews.

If you're interested in either learning how to run a Lodge such as ours or are interested in learning how to run a sustainable enterprise, and are willing to be a committed member of our team we can teach you how we do it. This is definitely NOT a few hours every day! No clock watchers please ....
At present, (Spring '23) , we only have space for one person, preferably female, to help with front-of-house, cleaning, bar and kitchen prep.
We'd like applicants to be motivated, have a positive attitude, sense of responsibility and sense of humour. General all-rounders are what's needed ... You must be able to contribute as part of a team or on your own without being checked on. If you're not prepared for this please don't waste your time by applying for a position here. Also please note that we are fairly isolated - at least by European standards; if you need a disco on your doorstep this definitely isn't the place for you, but you do have free hi-speed Starlink wifi if you bring your own computer/iPad etc. Days and hours are flexible within reason. Helpers get full use of our facilities on time off, including sauna, canoes, SUPs etc.
Age is unimportant as long as you're fit, willing and ideally you'll have a driving license, be kitchen savvy, and enjoy the company of others around a dinner table without being an alcoholic.
Send us an email or give us a ring and speak to either Daniela or Frank.

Alojamiento
Lakeside lodge. You'll have your own room.
Algo más...
Please note that our nearest village is about 3 miles away. The local population consists primarily of self-sufficient small-holdings and farmers. Beaches are about an hour's journey by car, but the lake is on your doorstep.
The lake itself is massive .... 36 kms long and 242 around, it's deep and holds 480 million cubic meters of water. It's incredibly clean - treading water at night you can see your toes in the moonlight - and warm too; during the summer the temperature's never far off 28ºC/82ºF. Ideal for swimming and boating - fishing too as the lake holds both Wide-mouthed Bass and Carp.

We've hosted helpers for over thirty years now and seldom have we hosted someone so easy-going and fun or someone so willing to go the extra mile.
Always on time and always with a smile, he turned his hand to anything we asked of him.

The place it’s truly a paradise, beautiful landscapes, the warm lake water makes you want to spend hours swimming, lovely view to practice yoga from the yogashala (which I helped finish with other helpers and Frank)...

Communications between us continued up to and including the proposed day of her arrival but then ceased altogether with no explanation or email of regret etc.
Very sad as not only did she let us down badly with no warning whatsoever, but she also prevented us from offering our… read more
However his word is not his bond. It would be unwise to trust what he says during any interview prior to his arrival.

It was a real pleasure to have her working and living with us and she became very quickly a part of our family. We all still miss her. She is easy going and was always willing to get a job done no matter what...
She always took her responsibilities seriously, was great with guests and good company behind the scenes. She is… read more
Working here was my first expierence with workaway.info.
Frank picked me up from the train station and when I arrived this place immediately felt like a paradise with its huge lake and the thriving garden around the Quinta.
I enjoyed doing different tasks every day, so I was able to gain skills in different… read more
First of all Frank and Daniela I'm sorry for the lateness of my reply, things were very busy upon my miserable return to the UK.
Coming to the Quinta was my first workaway experience, and I couldn't of asked for anything more. Location was exactly what I was looking for, the family were amazingly helpful and friendly and… read more
My first workaway experience and I couldn't have asked for anything better. In fact, I am apprehensive about helping anywhere else, because I'd feel like I am cheating Frank and Daniela. If and when I decide to help, I… read more
Basically they wanted to have a free holiday on the back of everyone else's hard work and, when they came up with a lame excuse of their uncle dieing during the night and their mother having booked them a flight out the same day, we jumped at… read more
