Help us care for a beautiful hilltop in Southwest Portugal 🌿
Looking for 2–3 volunteers from late November through December and January!
Hello dear travellers!
I'm Elli, mother of two, and I take care of a beautiful off-grid property on a peaceful hilltop near Aljezur, in the Southwest Algarve.
It's a special place surrounded by nature, with stunning views, beautiful sunsets and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the simple things in life.
This winter, I'm looking for some helping hands to care for the land.
The main tasks include clearing overgrown areas, pruning trees, collecting firewood, making co teolled bonfires when conditions allow it and helping with small repairs and general land maintenance.
I live, with my two children (7 and 13) in the nearby village of Aljezur and come to the property every day. We'll be working together, sharing tasks and enjoying a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Accommodation & exchange
Accommodation is available in a cosy caravan or, depending on availability, in a comfortable holiday house on the property. You're also very welcome to bring your own campervan.
The general idea is around 4 hours of help per day in exchange for food and accommodation, with the exact arrangements discussed together beforehand.
I'll provide the food. You can prepare your own breakfast and dinner, and we'll enjoy lunch together during our working days.
As I don't live on the property, you'll have plenty of privacy and independence during your free time.
Life around here
The property is a wonderful place to slow down, enjoy nature and relax. There's also a wood-fired sauna that can be used by arrangement.
The town Aljezur is just 5km away and the beautiful beaches of the Costa Vicentina are about 12 km away, and the area is great for hiking, surfing and exploring.
Whenever time allows, I'm happy to show you around or give you a lift to town, the beach or local markets.
I'm especially looking for independent, practical and nature-loving people who enjoy working outdoors, getting their hands dirty and sharing a project.
If this sounds like your kind of place, I'd love to hear from you!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
I love exchanging ideas and experiences on all sorts of topics, from off-grid living, childcare and healthy food to building, gardening and sustainable living. I'm an open and communicative person who enjoys meeting new people, sharing knowledge and getting inspired by different perspectives. I'm also happy to help you practise your German, Spanish or Portuguese – and if you're up for it, I can even teach you how to juggle! ;)

I'm originally from Germany, but I've spent over 10 years living in both Spain and Portugal, so I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently, as well as English and German. I love languages and connecting with people from different cultures. Spanish is especially close to my heart – it's definitely the language I feel most passionate about! ❤️ -

Algo más...
Aljezur is just 5 km away, and as we drive there regularly, we're happy to offer lifts whenever possible. The beautiful beaches of Monte Clérigo, Arrifana and Amoreira are all around 12 km away. The Cerca Valley has a friendly, lively community, so it's usually easy to catch a ride with someone from the neighbourhood.

Access to the property is via a fairly steep, unpaved road. Most vehicles can make it up without any problems, unless there's been heavy or continuous rain for several days.

Meli stayed with us for two weeks as a Workaway, and honestly, we wish it had been longer!

They also cooked delicious meals at lunchtime, effortlessly doing magic in a rather "creatively" improvised kitchen.
