Discover life in an Eco village and explore northern Portugal

  Descripción

  We moved from London to Portugal 4 years ago to create an Eco Village, hoping to inspire others to move to the countryside and work with nature and learn to grow our own food. It has not been easy; we managed to do a lot to recreate the farm, add geodesic domes and even got a green house, but it has been a headache and very hard . We are just two and our project ws also derailed by the fact that we ended up focusing on rescuing dogs as the locals keep abandoning them.
  
  You will be sharing the space with us , Chantal and Kyle. Our place is nested in the mountains and hills surrounding the Vez River and we are about 25 km from the entrance to the national park, Geres. Nature is the prime attraction of the venue with a lot of paths and hiking spots! There are companies organizing canoeing, biking and river rafting adventures and we are only 40 minutes away from the sea in Viana do Castelo. Towns and cities are also quite amazing, like Ponte de Lima, Braga and Porto and you can be in Spain, in Vigo in less than 1 hour (it is pretty awesome there) Overall this place is great if you love nature!
