We are a young family with 2 girls; now 14 and 16 years old, living in a beautiful old abandoned village in the foothills behind Santa Catarina, east Algarve ... just half an hour from the stunning Rio Formosa coastline, near Tavira and Faro
We run a busy VW campervan rental company, which utilises our many creative skills as we restore, rebuild and create these small, stylish campers for surfers, families and multinational adventurers to explore this wonderful part of the world.
We are a creative, active and busy family and have lived here for over 12 years.
In our spare time ( !!!!) we are passionate about restoring our traditional tiny village, set in an empty wild valley with peaceful hills stretching for miles all around, where we live with 2 horses, 4 dogs and 2 cats.

We are offering 2 opportunities:
1. Workaways to come and help around our rural home. There's much to do here! From building /pointing stone walls, carpentry, gardening, painting... we generally find a job to suit whoever visits! Practical hands on skills and the right attitude is essential! Help with the feeding of our 2 horses, maybe riding if you fancy? so someone with experience with horses would be most welcome, but not essential .. they are easy beasts !
Occasionally we may need to be away for a night so keeping the animals feed and watered is essential.
Our land needs tidying, veg plot tended and the carobs, almonds and olives need to be collected, dogs brushed and horses petted, when we are too busy out at work!
We would like someone who is happy with their own company and space, as we often work long hours in the summer and so the ability to live independently is necessary.
In the summer our 2 girls, are often home and although they are very independent, the easy-going company....Maisie loves her piano and Lara hangs out with her horse!
2. We are also always on the look out for workers with a high level of technical skills who could be interested in a more long term opportunity. We build campervans to a very high and professional standard. Due to very strict safety laws here we cannot take on anyone to work in the workshop who has no skills or experience with power tools.
We are looking for helpers initially for one to 2 weeks but this could become longer depending on skills offered and our development of particular projects. Its always changing ! We always need help throughout the summer.
Van lifers are very welcome !!

We live in an isolated traditional village that was deserted 20 years ago. We are slowly bringing it back to life. The nearest beach is only 20 minutes away .We live near a river and our surrounding area is spectacular for walking, mountain biking and horse riding.

We initially found our home here after years of travelling Europe in our converted truck and our business is now based on the van life concept, so we enjoy welcoming independently-minded adventurous nomads. Having your own wheels explore this area is important.
