Description
March/April looking for help!

We have a large site of 5 acres of countryside, a Villa where we live and an apartment, and cottage and a little caravan 7 km from Portimao and 11 km from Monchique.

From March and April we need help doing gardening, maintenance & repair fences/structures, painting buildings.

You will stay in the caravan, There is a double bed, and a heater inside and Tv with videos. There is also Wifi onsite for your laptop or phones. But if you have a campervan you can stay in there we have space on site. You can use the shower block (hot shower) and toilet and a Camp kitchen to make your food. We will leave you vegetarian food in the fridge and cupboards.

There is a local bus service at the end of the track to Portimao on the coast with great beaches, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops etc and to the lovely green mountains of the old town of Monchique. A taxi will cost between €12-18. We have local restaurants nearby within a 10 to 15 minute walk. We do advise hiring a car if you can November is cheap to hire cars in Portugal.

We ask that you have your own health insurance and give us a contact number of your next of kin in case of any emergencies. We only usually like to accept helpers who are willing to stay a minimum 2 of 3 weeks.

So if you are interested in spending some time with us, able to commit to the dates you can come, and want to have fun in the sun, in a cool, chilled out environment, can smile often and laugh lots then contact us. We have a strict no drugs policy and people who have problems with alcohol please do not come to us. Smoking is strictly outside only. We encourage a healthy, laid back vibe.. we are not a party animal kind of place.

Anne and Kevin were great house sitters.

Anne was concerned about the welfare of our beloved labrador, Sunny and emailed us her concerns. They are animal lovers and cared… read more

My first workaway experience has been great! The hosts are really nice, open-minded people, and they are always willing to teach you new skills or anything you don’t know how to do. Thanks to them I have learnt to plant vegetables, paint walls, drive a tractor… and I have seen how to build a compost toilet! I have also learnt many things about… read more

I had such a brilliant month ! I went from mid February to mid March, so at the start it was quite quiet, however as the weeks went on, more volunteers turned up and there became more of a team atmosphere, which was really good. The accommodation I was given, was clean and very comfortable. The days were spent doing all sorts of different jobs,… read more

Marta was a volunteer for us this year. She is a very friendly, warm person always happy to help whenever we asked. She undertook all her duties very well, cleaning the showers and toilets and making up the beds in the Tipis. She worked well as part of the team. We wish her well with her future travels!

We house sat for Sam and Calvin for a couple of weeks in December 2013 whilst they took a well earned break. We were looking after the property (security), a little light garden maintenance and their pets. Sam is very well organised and there is a house-sitting instruction sheet, plus everything was shown to us by Calvin - so they didn't leave… read more

I did enjoy my time here. It was great being a part of the guest's experience and helping to welcome them into Portugal, and the chance of practicing my massage work and yoga teaching in a beautiful environment, taught me a lot about myself and what my abilities are. The campsite itself is lovely, the sleeping quarters are comfy and food is good,… read more
