  Descripción

  Olá and hello!
  Hi! We are Johannes and Claudia, and since 2023 we've been building our life from the ground up on a Quinta in northern Portugal. This is our long-term home and an ongoing project where we are gradually renovating, improving the land, creating gardens, and developing the property step by step. We're looking for people who enjoy practical work and would like to be part of a real, hands-on project for a while.
  
  Our Place
  Our quinta is a peaceful 2.3-hectare property with sweeping views over a beautiful valley.
  It includes:
  - a large, charming mansion under renovation – the future space for workshops and retreats
  - a second building gives space for living
  - the official outdoor kitchen is currently being renovated and still needs some time and help ;-)
  - a vegetable garden, mandala beds, and over 130 fruit and nut trees
  - a food forest
  - a flat parking area for vans and caravans
  - a camping site
  - washing machines and dryer
  - plenty of nature, silence, and starlit nights
  
  For accommodation, you can camp or, if you are traveling in a van or similar vehicle, you can park here and stay in it. We can provide tents and bedding.
  
  Who's a good fit for us
  We enjoy hosting down-to-earth people who are happy to get involved with gardening, practical projects, and everyday tasks. Experience is always a plus, but a positive attitude, respect for our home, and the ability to work independently from time to time are even more important.
  
  There are three other people living here as well, whom you get to know during your stay. They support us alongside their own individual business.
  
  Languages:
  We speak German as our mother tongue and English.
  We learn portuguese.
  
  Type of exchange:
  Half board = sleeping and parking no meals, just lunch.
  (We provide ingredients for breakfast, dinner, and snacks)
  → max. 3 hours a day for 5 days a week

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We're happy to share the knowledge and experience – whether it's about gardening or building up a company.
  
  You’ll have the chance to enjoy fresh, home-cooked vegetarian or vegan meals with us at lunchtime.
  
  There are lovely cafés just around the corner, and of course: you shouldn’t miss a Pastel de Nata, the famous Portuguese pastry – or a glass of delicious Douro wine while overlooking the stunning landscape.
  
  There’s also the opportunity to connect with our neighbors and like-minded nearby projects. Some of them offer things like:
  Open workshops and gatherings

  Alojamiento

  We currently have two options for camping with us.
  On the one hand, we have a paved parking lot with access to electricity and water where you can park your Van.
  On the other hand, we have a nice, large lawn for tent enthusiasts also with the possibility for electricity and water. We can provide tents and bedding.
  
  Also sometimes there is an appartment available in our house with bed, bathroom and an improvised kitchen.

  Algo más...

  There is a bus stop nearby that takes you to the next larger town (Marco de Canaveses). From Marco de Canaveses there is a good train connection directly to the center of the bustling city of Porto. Here you can see all kinds of sights such as museums, churches, traditional fishing boats and markets. The beach on the Atlantic is also not far.
  In the neighbourhood we have cute little beaches on both the Douro and the Tamega river and several beautiful waterfalls. There are also many hidden hiking trails in the beautiful green mountain landscape. There are small cafes everywhere where you can enjoy a coffee and the typical Portuguese Pastel de Nata. Nearby is the famous wine-growing region of the Douro Valley, which produces world-famous red wine and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
