  Descripción

  We are Maurits and Femke,
  
  We moved to the Algarve in February 2026 with our son Bram who is 2 years old. We are renovating an old Quinta close to Silves into a small guesthouse. We choose the Algarve and Silves because we have some family living close by and are in love with the peaceful surroundings but still have everything close by within 30 minute drive if you need something.
  It is our dream project where we combine a peaceful surrounding in nature with a family friendly concept.
  
  We are looking for Workawayers who are interested in helping us set up/improve our guesthouse and beautiful garden.
  We hope to open our guesthouse for bookings around September. But it all depends on how fast the renovation goes.
  
  After a day of work we love to spend time together and cook. Cooking is our biggest hobby. We love to BBQ and go to the market for fresh products. Maybe you have a favorite meal that you would like to make for us as well?
  
  When you stay with us you will be with our little family of 3. Our son Bram is a toddler and loves meeting new people (just like us!) . So a family environment is what you will be staying in.

  Algo más...

  A car is a must in the Algarve. There is public transportation (bus) but it is not that good of a connection. From our guesthouse you can visit the most beautiful beaches within a 25 minute drive. You can go for hikes along the coast or more into the hills of Monchique. There is even a walking path that comes along our guesthouse that is very popular. There are many villages to visit for some nice restaurants and culture. Such as Silves, Monchique, Loule, Olhao, Ferragudo. Carvoeiro and many more.
